Installing Seekmodo on BigCommerce

This guide is for store merchants. It assumes:

  • You have admin access to a BigCommerce store (Stencil, Catalyst, or Page Builder).
  • You can create a Seekmodo account (or already have a tenant) at seekmodo.com/pricing.

Enhanced Native search improvements can run without a paid plan. Cloud AI search, recommendations, and merchandising use a Seekmodo subscription (14-day trial on paid plans).

1. Install the app

  1. Open the BigCommerce App Marketplace and install Seekmodo, or start from bigcommerce-app.seekmodo.com/install while logged into your store admin.
  2. Allow the OAuth scopes Seekmodo requests:
    • Information and Settings — Read-Only
    • Products — Modify
    • Customers — Modify
    • Content — Modify

2. Pair your Seekmodo tenant

  1. After OAuth you land on seekmodo.com/connect.
  2. Sign in (or create an account) and pick or create a tenant.
  3. Confirm pairing. You return to BigCommerce admin → Apps → Seekmodo.

3. Wait for the first catalog index

The connector indexes your catalog after pair. Open Apps → Seekmodo and wait until indexing shows complete before judging search quality.

4. Storefront widgets

On install, Seekmodo registers Script Manager scripts for typeahead, SERP enhancement, recommendations, beacon learning, and (when enabled) vehicle helpers. Most Cornerstone-based themes pick these up without a theme rewrite.

Optional Stencil / Catalyst snippets for theme-specific vehicle UI live in the connector repository under docs/storefront-snippets/.

5. Custom fields (parts catalogs)

If part numbers or OEM / FCC fields use merchant-specific custom field names, map them in the Seekmodo admin iframe under Apps → Seekmodo (for example EZ # → ez_number).

6. Verify

  • Header search typeahead returns products from your catalog.
  • Product pages may show Customers also bought / Related products after the index is warm.
  • Optional: set Year / Make / Model on a parts storefront that exposes the vehicle picker.

Uninstall

Uninstall from Apps → Seekmodo. Seekmodo removes Script Manager scripts named seekmodo-* and soft-deletes the install pairing per our BigCommerce privacy disclosure.

Pricing

Enhanced Native is free on install. Cloud plans start at $29/mo (Hobby) with a 14-day trial. See seekmodo.com/pricing.
