Product search templates

Product search templates are extremely comparable to assortments. They both essentially represent a set of products. Where assortment contain specific products however, product search templates only hold filters. These filters are applied to your product base, which results in a set of products.

In most places where we used product search templates, they have been replaced by assortments. We do however still actively use product search templates for quickbuy.

Creating a product search template​

{
  "Name": "Quickbuy",
  "Filters": {
    "custom_id": {
      "Values": ["112-111-978020137951", "114"],
      "Negation": false,
      "ExactMatch": true
    }
  }
}

The easiest method of filtering would be to provide exact CustomIDs. This service will return the ID for your newly created product search template.

Quickbuy​

In order to support quickbuy, we have to create a quickbuy option using CreateQuickBuy:

{
  "OrganizationUnitSetID": 1,
  "ProductSearchTemplateID": 1,
  "Type": 1,
  "Name": "Quickbuy Checkout"
}

When creating a quickbuy, we first specify the organization unit set to which the quickbuy should apply. We then specify what products should be part of the quickbuy, by linking a product search template.

The quickbuy Type determines where the quickbuy is going to show up in the apps:

  • 1 = Checkout
  • 2 = ShoppingCart

If you want it to show up in both, create two identical quickbuys, one with type 1 and one with type 2.

Lastly, you can give your quickbuy a name.
