Requirements
In this article you'll learn what requirements a shop has to meet to use our smart product comparison widget, and what can be done to optimize the results.
Platform
The product comparison tool is platform independent. This means it can be installed on any webshop, website or e-commerce platform as long as you can link our javascript file and you can add HTML elements.
Page structure
The crawler normally only indexes pages that indicate that they are product pages via a meta tag or JSON-LD. If this is not the case, and it is not possible to adjust this, please contact us to discuss possible alternatives.
Unique URL's
A product page should be reachable on a single unique URL, without having to use request variables. If this is not the case, and it is not possible to change this behaviour, please contact us to discuss possible alternatives.
Examples of product URLs that DO meet this requirement:
- https://www.webshop.nl/products/my-product
- https://www.webshop.nl/product1234
- https://www.webshop.nl/products/1/index.html
Examples of product URLs that DON'T meet this requirement:
- https://www.webshop.nl/producten?product=mijn-product
- https://www.webshop.nl/index.php?article=123
- https://www.webshop.nl/products#123
Javascript rendered product specifications
If (parts of) your product pages are rendered using Javascript the widget won't work out of the box, please contact us if this is the case for your shop. This issue usually occurs with React based websites that do not use Server Side Rendering (SSR) or when sites load product specifications with an AJAX call.
