Resolving the issues faced by BestFitbyBrazil helped us dive more into our custom services with us creating a custom plugin out in order to fulfil our client’s requirements. We transformed the Algolia code into a customised plugin making it much easier to update it in the future as only the plugin needs to be updated in order to experience the changes.
Our main task was to understand the API Integration of Algolia, its structure, and how they can be helpful in fulfilling our client’s requirements. Algolia’s setup, configuration, and API integration were a challenge for us as all the codes had to be planned and set up from the new end and needed to be compatible with other existing codes.
For this, we had to understand their API integration structure and how they can be of optimum help while solving the challenges of our client company. Since it is a third-party configuration, we had to make sure that the integration works accurately and efficiently.
After the Algolia API integration, we had to manually import more than 2k existing product data into the system as Algolia only maps the newly added products for quick search results.In addition to that, we had to customise the displayed products in a well-categorised way for a better viewing experience of the website.
Apart from that, we also provided our other customized solutions for our clients. Our WordPress team integrated Algolia ‘s structure into the client’s website with the integration of a custom plugin. We have created custom functionality for display products as well as categories and tags of products as per the needs of the website.
We also managed to customise their product single pages in which we changed the colour of attribute according to the image’s dominant colours in addition to the integration of size of the chart according to the client’s requirement.
On the shopping page, we integrated functionality to display matching images in the form of popup related to the desired product when a mouse is hovered over the product details. Product filters with column layout were added too and we converted default pages in accordance with the functionality. Necessary changes were also made to the checkout page.
