Hi!
I have built a CMS with same info of the products from the CMS-products that wix builts.
I have a bunch of tags or attributes on these own built CMS that I would like to use to improve the filters on my website (you can’t modify or add the CMS that wix builts).
But I have realized that own built CMS can’t be connected to the add to cart button, an if you do, probably the inventory and variants will not work.
Is there any solution of how to solve this?, I mean, connect or reference somehow my own built CMS to the website filters so they interact and filter the CMS products, connected to the wix products gallery.
Thanks,
Hello any one with a similar situation?
To use your own catalog of products you will need to use the service plugin for ecommerce. There is a specifc way this will need to be setup so take a look at the documentation and follow along to make sure the structure of the CMS product catalog you created will work
Hi Amanda, thanks for your reply.
I would just to use my custom CMS to apply filter over wix default Products CMS.
Is that possible? In more detail: Is it possible to apply a filter over a repeater while they are connected to different collections that share the same Product ID?
Thanks!
I can’t say I have tested something like this before, but maybe there is a way to handle this in your code. You can use Wix Data to query to app collection and then in code manipulate the retrieved data to whatever the final version should be to return to the frontend (page code)
I am not sure how performant this path would be and you may want to test and/or ask other devs in the community how they might approach something like this.
It is not supported OOTB to use another collection to filter on a Wix app collection so you will have to lean on a code solution to do something like this or swap to using a custom collection via the service plugin i linked above.
Would love to hear what you end up doing one you work it al out. I"m sure it will benefit others in the community as well
