Due to all new paradigms introduced by Magento 2.1 (entity manager, forms based on UI components, staging for the EE edition, ...), the required minimum version of Magento for using this module is Magento 2.1
If your project is based on Magento 2.1.x you can start working with ElasticSuite for Retailer today using the latest 1.2.0-alpha1 release.
This package is a suite of several modules aiming to help merchants dealing with retail and omnichannel mechanics in Magento 2 (Store Locator, Product availability/price per store, pickup in store, etc...).
The package relies on our custom Search and Merchandising tool called ElasticSuite which can be found here.
For more information, read the User Guide "Smile ElasticSuite for retailer". It's available here.
SmileLab is the innovation and experimentation department of Smile. Smile is the European leader of Open Source and also a four-times Europe Partner of the the Year (2010-2014) and two-times Spirit of Excellence (2015-2016) awarded by Magento.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together experts in technology, innovation, and new applications.
Together we explore, invent, and test technologies of the future, to better serve our clients.
The current 1.2.0 version has been focused on two main features :
-
Store Locator :
This feature allows you to create and manage your shops in Magento's back-office. The module comes by default with several pre-configured attributes such as Shop Address, GPS coordinates, Opening Hours, etc...
Once you have created all your shops, your customers will be able to navigate through them in the Front-Office on a map.
Each of your stores has also a Shop detail page and eventually a Contact Shop page if you enable this option on the store.
Your customer will be able to choose his favorite shop and this will keep it during all his navigation through your website.
-
Store Offers :
This features let you create specific offers for a given product and a given shop : you'll be able to define the price and/or the availability for a product in each shop.
You will be able to enable an option to filter the navigation of the customer to the products available in his favorite shop :
The customer will even have the possibility to see product's availability in the other shops on the product detail page :
The next versions that will be coming will include the following features :
-
In Store pickup :
This feature will allow the customer to choose between stores for the shipping address of his order.
-
Shops in autocomplete :
We plan to add the shops to the autocomplete box results for faster access.
-
And many more !
We will announce and integrate more features to the roadmap soon.
