Configuration

A source is a combination of:

• An Algolia index name (must be unique)
• A BigCommerce channel (sources are per channel - each store can have multiple channels)
• A set of BigCommerce product data with currencies

You already set up a source during installation. You can edit it and add or delete others.

After installing a BigCommerce source, you need to trigger a full reindex at least once to retrieve your products from BigCommerce. You should also reindex if you change, add, or delete a source.

To trigger a full reindex:

1. Select the Blue cloud icon for the source you want to reindex.

   

2. To check the progress and reindexing progress, see Monitor BigCommerce indexing.

2. Select Custom Fields.

3. Enter a comma-separated list of custom field names to index.

   

Metafields
