SFCC - show products based on url argument

Question

we have a requirement where url will have different variants as argument e.g. pid=Prod1|Prod2|Prod3. Based on this we need to show a pdp page with three products. Initially, I was thinking to create an empty product set and add the products dynamically. But I don’t see any method for this. Any input on this will be very helpful.

Thanks

Answer 1

You could do the following:

In the route Product-Show get the pid parameter and spit it:

var apiProducts = [];
var variants = req.querystring.pid.split('|');
variants.forEach(function (variant) {
    apiProducts.push(ProductMgr.getProduct(variant));
});

Then you can use apiProducts in your template to show the requested products.

To determine which template to use (1 product or multiple) you can check if the pid parameter can be split.

Maybe this gives you an idea on how to approach this.

Answer 2

You can use a Report, and then the URL parameters will flow into the Report criteria.

Product IDs or SKUs will go into URL parameters named "pv0", "pv1", etc., however you set up your report criteria.
