### Setting up the Algolia Connector

1. Complete the setup and activation for your [Algolia](https://dashboard.algolia.com/users/sign%5Fup?ssnav=start) account.
2. Submit a support request to [fabric customer success](https://support.fabric.inc/hc/en-us/requests/new) with the following details and search configurations:
   * [Algolia App Id](https://support.algolia.com/hc/en-us/articles/11040113398673-Where-can-I-find-my-application-ID-and-the-index-name)
   * [Algolia Admin key](https://support.algolia.com/hc/en-us/articles/11972559809681-How-do-I-find-my-Admin-API-key)
   * **Should Save Zero Price Item**: Setting this configuration to `true` checks for records with prices equal to zero and determines whether these items are indexed. The default value is `false`.
   * **Should Save Variants**: Setting this configuration to `true` publishes variant records. The default value is `false`.
   * **Should Index Alternate Categories**: Setting this configuration to `true` indexes product categories. The default value is `false`.
   * **Should Use I18N Service** (Localization): Setting this configuration to `true` localizes indexed data. The default value is `false`.
   * **Price Lists**: Setting this configuration to `Enabled` determines the list of `priceListIds` to be requested when calling fabric Offers APIs. This is used when an item has many currencies associated with the price. The default value is `null`.
