# BigCommerce Configuration

> Complete configuration guide for BigCommerce PureClarity integration including data synchronization, Stencil theme setup, and zone installation

## What the Application Does

The PureClarity BigCommerce application will integrate your shop with PureClarity. It will:

1. **Automatically synchronize your shop data** with PureClarity so that it can provide personalized merchandising. This includes your products, brands, categories, orders and customers.
2. **Add the PureClarity template** into your Stencil themes. Templates and Themes are discussed in more detail below.
3. **Add a script to your site** that tracks your customers activity and will display personalized content in your PureClarity Zones.

## What You Need to Do

Once you have installed the application, your store needs to synchronize with PureClarity. This process will start automatically after the application is installed onto your site.

During this process the application UI will update you with the status of the synchronization. You may leave the application and come back later if required.

<Info>
  The initial synchronization process may take several minutes depending on the size of your product catalog and customer database.

### Enabling PureClarity

Finally, enable PureClarity by pressing the **Enable** button. This will add our script to your site, and PureClarity will begin to show personalized content.

<Tip>
  We recommend enabling PureClarity during off-peak hours to monitor the initial performance and ensure everything is working correctly.

## Stencil Themes

### What the Plugin Does

PureClarity installs a PureClarity zone into several regions in all the Stencil themes on your site. The regions are:

#### Automatic Zone Installation

The following zones are automatically added to your theme:

1. **Homepage (pages/home)**
   * **HP-01** and **HP-02** will be added into the region `home_below_carousel`

2. **Product Pages (pages/product)**
   * **PP-01** and **PP-02** will be added into the region `product_below_content`

3. **Category Pages (pages/category)**
   * **CP-01** and **CP-02** will be added into the region `category_below_content`

4. **Search Pages (pages/search)**
   * **SP-01** and **SP-02** will be added into the region `search_below_content`

5. **Cart Pages (pages/cart)**
   * **BP-01** and **BP-02** will be added into the region `header_bottom`

<Note>
  These zones are strategically placed to maximize engagement and conversion opportunities throughout the customer journey.
</Note>

### Zone Configuration

Each zone can be configured independently in the PureClarity admin console to show:

* Product recommendations
* Category recommendations
* Promotional banners
* Personalized content
* Search-driven recommendations

### Theme Compatibility

The PureClarity BigCommerce app is designed to work with all Stencil themes. The zones are inserted using BigCommerce's standard template regions, ensuring compatibility across different theme designs.

<Tip>
  If you have a heavily customized theme, you may want to test the zone placements to ensure they integrate well with your design.
</Tip>

PureClarity automatically synchronizes the following data from your BigCommerce store:

* **Products**: Including prices, descriptions, images, and inventory status
* **Categories**: Category structure and metadata

* **Customers**: Customer profiles and behavior data
* **Orders**: Purchase history and transaction details

## Uninstall

### How to Uninstall the Application

Uninstall the PureClarity app from your BigCommerce admin, just like any other BigCommerce app.
