Coveo for Shopify Enteprise FAQs
Is Coveo suitable for B2B use on Shopify?
In a nutshell, yes! Coveo’s specialty is delivering relevance at scale, making us ideal for B2B ecommerce on Shopify. Tried, tested, and proven for complex B2B use cases, Coveo enhances product discovery for large catalogs, supports customer-specific pricing, inventory availability by location, and product restrictions. All at search time. With AI-powered search and recommendations, buyers can quickly find the right products, even with partial part numbers, fitment needs, or cross-reference lookups — simplifying the path to purchase and part replacement.
How does Coveo’s indexing work?
Coveo’s indexing uses Shopify as the source of truth for product catalog data, ensuring all product information stays up to date. It automates indexing through the Shopify GraphQL Admin API, pulling details like titles, descriptions, and pricing directly from the store. With scheduled index updates, any changes made in Shopify are automatically reflected in Coveo’s search index. This ensures merchants always deliver accurate and relevant search results without manual intervention.
Which storefront types does Coveo support?
Coveo supports all Shopify storefront types, including traditional, headless, and embedded storefronts. Merchants using Shopify’s default themes can leverage Coveo Atomic for Commerce for a fast, out-of-the-box implementation. For those using headless commerce setups (e.g., Hydrogen, custom React/Vue storefronts), Coveo Headless provides full control over the storefront experience.
Why integrate via the app instead of direct API integration?
Using the Coveo app rather than the API provides a faster, more streamlined integration with Shopify. The app automates key setup processes, reducing time to go live and minimizing manual effort. Merchants also benefit from guided onboarding, ensuring a smooth integration with step-by-step assistance.
