Platform-specific pain

Where WooCommerce stores typically struggle.

Default WordPress search uses LIKE-based matching — fast on small catalogs, awkward on large ones
Custom attributes are not searched by default
Variants surface inconsistently across colors and sizes
AJAX plugins improve UX but rarely solve analytics or revenue attribution
Multi-language stores need locale-aware results

Integration approach

How Scouty installs and stays in sync.

WooCommerce plugin install (no replatforming)
Product, attribute, and variant indexing via WooCommerce REST API
Optional document and image upload via Scouty
Storefront integration via plugin block or universal widget
Webhook-based catalog and inventory updates
Multi-language support via WPML / Polylang field mapping

FAQ

Common questions about Scouty for WooCommerce.

Does Scouty work alongside FiboSearch or Ivory Search?

Yes. Many stores keep their AJAX plugin for autocomplete UX and use Scouty as the search recovery and AI layer. You can also replace the AJAX plugin with Scouty's storefront widget if you prefer one tool.

Does Scouty handle WooCommerce variants?

Yes. Variants and their attributes can be indexed and surfaced individually in search results.

Does Scouty support WPML / Polylang?

Yes. Locale-aware indexing and search are supported on Pro and above.

How does Scouty handle large WooCommerce catalogs (50k+ SKUs)?

Scouty offloads search and retrieval from the WordPress database, so large catalogs benefit most. Indexing is batched and incremental, and reindexing supports zero-downtime swaps.

Can Scouty replace native WooCommerce search?

Yes. Scouty can serve as the primary storefront search via plugin block or universal widget, while WooCommerce remains the source of truth for the catalog.
