The problem

PrestaShop's native search
is not enough

PrestaShop includes a basic search, but its limitations become quickly visible as your catalog grows.

No typo tolerance

Native search can't find products when the user makes a typo. "trousers" vs "trousrs": empty result.

No semantic understanding

Exact keyword matching ignores synonyms and variations. "sports shoes" won't find "running trainers".

No analytics or merchandising

You can't see which queries return no results, nor promote specific products in search results.

Integration

Vectail on PrestaShop
in 2 minutes

No module to install, no updates to manage. A simple script tag in your PrestaShop theme is all it takes.

1

Create your account and connect your catalog

Sign up at app.vectail.com, connect your Google Merchant Center account. Vectail automatically imports your product catalog.

2

Option A - Via your PrestaShop theme

Add the following tag to the header.tpl file of your theme, before the </head> tag:

header.tpl — your PrestaShop theme
<script
  src="https://cdn.vectail.com/vectail.js"
  data-client-id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID"></script>
3

Google Tag Manager Option B - Via Google Tag Manager (GTM)

If you already use GTM on your store, this is the fastest method - no source code access required. Create a Custom HTML tag, paste the script below, set the trigger to All Pages and publish.

GTM — Custom HTML tag
<script>
  (function() {
    var s = document.createElement('script');
    s.src = 'https://cdn.vectail.com/vectail.js';
    s.setAttribute('data-client-id', 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID');
    document.head.appendChild(s);
  })();
</script>
