How It Works​

The Visidea integration is designed to be flexible and straightforward, using a modular architecture for seamless data exchange between your e-commerce platform and Visidea servers.

Data Exchange​

  • Product & Catalog Data:

    • Your e-commerce website generates CSV files containing product and catalog information.
    • These files are created in batches and made accessible via a public URL that Visidea servers can reach and download from.

  • User Events & Recommendations:

    • The e-commerce front end sends user interaction events (such as views, clicks, and purchases) and requests product recommendations through API calls.
    • Visidea provides a dedicated JavaScript library to simplify event tracking and recommendation requests.

Integration Steps​

  1. Prepare and Share CSV Data:

    • Export your product and catalog data as CSV files.
    • Host these files at a URL accessible by Visidea.

  2. Implement API Calls:

    • Use the Visidea JavaScript library to send user events and fetch recommendations in real time.
    • Follow the API documentation for details on endpoints and payloads.

  3. Monitor and Optimize:

    • Review analytics and recommendations performance in your Visidea dashboard.
    • Adjust integration as needed to maximize results.
