Click on dropdown menu to select your store's sector.
After a few seconds, the integration will be ready and the next step of the configuration flow will be activated.

To link your website to a Doofinder account, you can log in with an existing account or register for a new free trial very easily.
Simply click on the corresponding button and fill in the pop-up form. Once submitted, the pop-up window will close and the initial setup flow will be finished.
If you are creating a new account, be sure to use an email address that you have not used before. This is a unique field. Also, make sure that your website has not been previously linked to a Doofinder account. You can only link your website to one account.
Once you have linked your website to a Doofinder account, the configuration process will automatically create the Search Engines, indexes and all other settings.
On the following screen, you will have two options:
- Check Index processing status
Here you will find the current status of the indexing process, whether it is OK or there is an error (and the corresponding message), and the date and time of the last synchronization.
Check the following example of a successful indexing process:
- Go to Configuration
In this section, you can check if all settings have been created correctly.
Once all the products are indexed the doofinder layer option will be set to yes.
