Magento 2: Get Started

Connecting your Store #

The first step of installing Clerk.io, is connecting your store with your Clerk.io account.

After following these simple steps you will be able to see your Demo Store, which gives you a personal overview of how Clerk.io will work on your webshop, before setting up the rest of the system.

1. Add Store #

After logging in to my.clerk.io, the first thing you need to do is add your store:

  1. Write the Name and Domain of your webshop

  2. Choose Magento 2 as the Platform and choose your Currency.

  3. Click Add Store.

2. Install and configure extension #

From the main menu of the Setup Guide, click Install Extension

The next page shows what you need to do, to install and configure the Magento 2 Extension.

Follow the steps to enable the extension:

3. Sync your store #

After configuring the extension, you simply need to synchronise your store.

Go back to the Setup Guide and click Sync Your Data:

Write in your stores details and click Start Sync:

You’re store is now connected to Clerk.io :)

Full Installation Example #

In this video you can get a complete overview of what it takes to setup Clerk.io on a Magento 2 webshop.

Multiple Storeviews #

The easiest way to implement Clerk.io in multiple Store Views in standard setups is by creating a separate Store for each domain in my.clerk.io.

This way, you can separate products, sales, currencies etc. to keep track of each Store View.

  1. Start by creating your main Store and follow the Setup Guide to connect your Store to Clerk.io and choose the Recommendationsand/or Search Results that you want to display on your webshop.

  2. When you are done with the initial setup, go back to the start page of my.clerk.io (by clicking the Clerk.io logo in the upper left side corner of the side-menu) and then click "+ Add new store" the last option of the scroll down list (generally under you the existing store(s) and your company name):

  1. On the Add New Store page, click Advanced to see all settings.
  1. Fill in the details of your Storeview, and choose your main Store from the Copy Content From Existing Store dropdown, then click Add Store. This will carry over the Content and Designs from your main Store.
  1. Now you can follow the Setup Guide again - by clicking on Getting Started, to Sync Data from this Storeview. As you have already installed the extension you can skip the first step and directly start configuring it and syncing data.

Note: If you are using Storeviews with hidden URL’s, like mywebshop.com?__store=b2b. Make sure to include the __store parameter in the Data Sync Store URL. Sometimes, these URLs can also contain 3 underscores like this: mywebshop.com?___store=b2b

  1. In the Magento 2 backend, on the Clerk.io Extension page, choose the Store View from the Store View dropdown:

  1. This will allow you to sync the Store View with your Store at my.clerk.io through the Setup Guide.

  2. When Data Sync has finished, your Store View is ready and using the same setup as your main Store.

Remember to translate Headlines, in Content-> Edit -> Select Design to the right language as well.

You can follow this process for all Store Views you want to use Clerk.io with.
