# Quickstart

> Get Cartally AI Search running in your store in under 10 minutes.

## 1. Create an account

Go to [app.cartally.co](https://app.cartally.co) and sign up with your email or Google account.

## 2. Choose your integration method

Cartally supports two integration paths:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="CMS Plugin" icon="puzzle-piece">
    For stores running **WooCommerce**, **PrestaShop**, or **Shopify**. Cartally connects directly to your platform's API — no coding needed.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom API" icon="code">
    For **custom-built stores** or unsupported platforms. You provide an API endpoint that returns your product catalog in the Cartally format.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 3. Connect your store

### CMS integration (WooCommerce / PrestaShop)

1. In the Cartally panel go to **Integration**.
2. Enter your store's URL and select the platform.
3. Provide your API credentials (read-only).
4. Click **Save & Connect**.

Cartally will verify the connection and start syncing your product catalog automatically.

For detailed setup instructions, see the platform-specific guides:

* [WooCommerce](/woo-commerce)
* [PrestaShop](/presta-shop)
* [Shopify](/shopify-guide)

### Custom API integration

1. In the Cartally panel go to **Integration**.
2. Select **API** as the integration method.
3. Enter the URL of your product endpoint.
4. Click **Save & Connect**.

See [Custom API Integration](/custom-api) for the full product data specification.

## 4. Add the search widget

Add the Cartally widget script to your store's HTML, just before `</body>`:

```html theme={null}
<script
  src="https://app.cartally.co/widget.js"
  defer
  data-cartally-widget
></script>
```

For Shopify stores, enable the widget in **Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds**.

## 5. Customize the widget

Go to **Widget** in the Cartally panel sidebar to set your brand color and logo.

That's it — your store now has AI-powered search and product discovery.
