Overall a really solid app — no major issues and it integrates smoothly into our workflow. Would love to see a bulk edit option added for collection facets, as that would save a lot of time managing larger catalogs. Our TAM Elias has been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our experience.

App is a bit clunky to use at times, with unexpected errors popping up when trying to apply changes. Most of the time, redoing the action solves it but nonetheless, it's time consuming. Algolia dashboard is quite useful and has lots of features/capabilities for nuanced execution. Algolia staff and support are super helpful (shout out to our TAM Elias) and bring a lot of experience in helping our b...

Algolia has made search much faster and more relevant on our store. We especially like the control over rankings, synonyms, filters, and merchandising.

— Cuties Line Co.

App & Dashboard work a bit against each other sometimes. Support is very fast, knowledgeable and helpful tough!

— BENU

We had and issue with our staging environment not being able to reindex. After speaking with our TAM and entering a ticket our issue was resolved in a day. I am very pleased with the continuing communication and the speed in which it was resolved.

Algolia is a powerhouse when it comes to search functionality. The robust customization options allow for highly tailored search results that enhance user experience and drive conversion. Their customer success team has been incredibly supportive throughout our integration, providing valuable insights and guidance to help us maximize the platform's potential. Algolia is a valuable asset for any DT...

Love this app! Tons of flexibility around ranking factors, using tags or metafields. We also have enjoyed using the dynamic re-ranking feature which boosts our products based on CTR and CVR

— Electric Fireplaces Direct

We have several stores we manage and were having issues with search and filtering. Algolia has been an amazing tool for our team presenting results quickly, giving us more control over the results that are returned and providing us with great support.

— SBD Online

Algolia is a great product and we are very happy with it. This has drastically improved our search and merch experience through AI recommendations and other automations. The platform is always evolving and we can't wait to see the new features. The Algolia app works well with Shopify. It does not provide a frontend framework though so this is something your developer team will need to implement...

— Glue Store

I recommend Algolia 100% - When launched our online store we used different apps for product discovery functionalities, it was always complex and the results obtained never made sense. Algolia's app is the best in the market, truly using AI and data smartly and easily, plus continuously evolving and developing new features and always getting excellent support from their team from a technical but...

— Lyle & Scott

Overall a great app integration between Algolia and Shopify, it really is a game changer in terms of speed compared to our previous app, the support team is very helpful in solving our problems also.

— Polo Club

Smooth integration and good support from Algolia team for setting up the right indexes that boost response time of search

— World of Books

Nous avons opté pour algolia, en pensant que le cout en vaudrait la peine. Quelle erreur, c'est un grouffre financier, qui en plus de bugger souvent, n'est pas du tout fonctionnel. SAV inexistant en plus, ou ils vous facturent toutes demande. Je ne parle pas des produits non suivi tel les cartes cadeaux qui n'apparaissent pas dans la recherche, de mes produits bunddles également disparu. Tra...

The on-boarding process is basically non-exist. I installed the app via. app store, and all you get is a page with a "Get started" button. Clicked on the button and being redirected to a account register page, after the registration, being redirected back to Shopify app admin page, nothing happens. I refreshed the page, now It is asking credentials such as API keys, which I never been informed abo...

It is definitely not a straight forward implementation which requires support and that is pretty much none-existent unless you commit to min $12,000 USD a year. Terrible support with pay as you go plan. We have tickets over 20 days old not answered.

— TripleClamp Moto Canada

No support at all!!

— PartsHouse

Took the app off our store since we longer use it- it is still embedded in the backend causing search issues for our customers.

— Premier Lacrosse League Shop

Installed app, authenticated to algolia, it asks me to select application to create credentials and 'get started'. Loading spinner just spins and never completes, so I can't even do the basic configuration. Email Algolia support, get a response 30 minutes later saying because i am on a 'free' plan, I don't get any technical support. So long story short, can't get the basic app configured, 0 supp...

Beware - You will need a full stack developer to install this app for you - no plug-and-play setup. Even for minor adjustments , there is no in-app dashboard to customize.
