Configure your Brand Showcase
-
- In the Client Portal, click on Integrate Brand Showcase as shown below:
- Select the manufacturer name for the Brand Showcase that you wish to integrate. You will then see the Brand Showcase settings that allow you to customize the Brand Showcase module, including the specific categories displayed on the module, and select your preferred entry point (for example, a text link or a banner) through which the brand showcase may be accessed on the webpage.
You will see the following settings:
- Container ID
- Market Language
- Product Selection
- Display Options
Container ID
You will see a pre-populated Container ID. This is the HTML element, such as a <div> or <span>, where the content will be delivered to your page. If you already have a <div> or <span> where you’d like the content to show up, you can replace the pre-populated container ID with the ID that already exists on your website.
Market Language
If the manufacturer’s Brand Showcase supports multiple languages, you can configure settings for each language.
Product Selection
Under “Select Products”, you can automatically display relevant products based on your catalog or by manual selection.
- Automatically by my catalog – Choose this option if you wish to upload your catalog to the system either manually or automatically.
- Manual selection – You can manually choose which categories and product families should appear in your showcase.
Get Code
If you are ready to integrate the Brand Showcase on your website, click Get Code. You will then be given an example code to integrate.
- Copy the code example
- Change the LANGUAGE and MARKET variables with actual values. Example:
ccs_cc_args.push(['lang', 'en']); ccs_cc_args.push(['market', 'US']);
- Paste the script into your page. The <div></div> should be positioned at the proper location at which you want the Brand Showcase link or graphic to appear.
