Integration Steps for Shopware

• Shopware Access Keys setup: setting up an Access Key ID and a secure Access Key to allow Klevu to access your catalog.
• Account setup: Signing up with Klevu.
• Frontend integration: Integrating Klevu’s JS templates on your website to power up search/Category Merchandising/Recommendations.

Shopware Access Keys setup

To get Access Key ID and secure Access Key, You begin by creating the user in the admin and assigning it a specific role. The permission to access a specific section can be set up when creating a role. The detailed guide to creating the User and Role is given in the link but here we will discuss it briefly. 

Creating a Role

In your Shopware admin panel, go to admin > Settings > System > Users and Permissions > Roles > Create Role. 

A role can be created and permissions can be set up to access some of the sections. We have only set up the permissions required to fetch data.

We need the permissions of below area:

Catalogue - View permission for all sub-areas

Content - View permission for all sub-areas

Orders - View permission for all sub-areas

Settings - View permission to below sub-areas

Currencies, Custom fields, Customer groups, Languages, Rule builder, Tags, Tax.

Frontend Integration

There are two possible ways Klevu can be integrated on a Shopware website:

Shopware Native Implementation

If the website is built on the Shopware's native frontend implementation,  there are a couple of ways to implement Klevu search:

1. Klevu Template JS

The Klevu template JS code has been injected into the theme files, and we have made the plugin theme available. To download it, please use the link provided that corresponds to your specific solution.

Klevu Search - KlevuSearch.zip

Klevu Search and Category Merchandising - KlevuSearchCatnav.zip

Klevu Search, Category Merchandising & Recommendations -  KlevuSearchCatNavRecs.zip

Klevu Search & Recommendations - KlevuSearchRecs.zip

2. Klevu SDKs

The Klevu has JS SDKs which can be used on the frontend. Please visit the link for more details.

Headless frontend Implementation

If the website is built on the Headless frontend, the solution is to use Klevu’s SDK library. For more information on how to integrate headless frontend, have a look at this link.
