Set up the Optimizely PIM sync job in Optimizely B2B Commerce

As part of the onboarding process, your implementation team (whether Optimizely or your Partner) will need to set up the job that sends data into Optimizely PIM, like your websites, related product types, and languages, among other items. Your Partner will follow these steps to set up this connection.

This job should only be set up to point to the customer's environment, not to a Partner QA or test site. For more information on the additional PIM jobs and how to publish products from PIM, see the Publish PIM Updates to B2B Commerce article.
