Setting up Smart Navigation on BigCommerce brand pages

1. Go to BigCommerce admin panel > Storefront > My themes > Current theme.
2. Make a copy of the current theme to create a backup. It will help you revert the changes if necessary.

   

3. Click the Advanced drop-down menu of the current theme to view the list of actions.
4. Select Edit Theme Files and the Theme Editor will open.

   

   Important info

   If you don’t see the Edit theme files option, you have a default theme from the marketplace. To edit the theme code you’ll need to make a copy of it and apply the copied theme to your storefront.

   Copied themes are considered custom themes and will not receive Marketplace Theme Updates.

5. Open the templates/pages/brand.html file in the Theme Editor.
6. Find the code displaying the product list of the brand between the {{#partial "page"}} and  {{/partial}} tags.

   

7. Copy and paste the following Searchanise code instead (you should leave the code showing brand name, brand image, sidebar, and breadcrumbs untouched):

    
   <div class="snize" id="snize_results" data-brand-page="true"></div>
   
   <style type="text/css"><!--
   /* Load spinner */
   #snize-preload-spinner {
       height: 100px;
       width: 32px;
       margin: 0 auto;
       background-position: 0px center;
