Magento / Adobe Commerce Integration
Embed the PersoScan body map in Magento or Adobe Commerce and route zone clicks to category pages or layered navigation parameters, with code to copy.
Magento gives you the same category two different ways, and choosing the wrong one costs every shopper a redirect.
Prerequisites
- You can edit page/template code in Magento / Adobe Commerce.
- You have category, tag, or collection pages ready for target redirects.
- You can test in a published or preview storefront.
Where a zone click should land in Magento
Every Magento category is reachable by its internal route, /catalog/category/view/id/12, and by its URL key, usually /knee-supports.html. The second is what your storefront actually serves, and the first is what silently redirects to it.
Use the URL key in the mapping. The internal route works, but it costs a redirect on every single zone click, and redirects are exactly the kind of thing that turns a fast interaction into a slow one.
Layered navigation is the other option: /supports.html?body_area=knee, using a filterable attribute. Worth the setup when one product belongs to several body areas, since an attribute handles that and a category does not.
Suffixes are configurable. Check Stores, Configuration, Catalog, Search Engine Optimization for whether
your category URLs end in .html before you write the mapping.
1. Prepare Zone Mapping
- Start with grouped zone IDs (head, neck, lower-back, and so on).
- Map each zone key to one destination URL or slug.
- Define a fallback destination for unmapped zones.
2. Embed And Listen
Add this code and update mapping values for your store:
<!-- Wrap the iframe in a div to control its dimensions.
To fill an entire section, set both the div and iframe height to 100% instead. -->
<div style="height:650px;width:100%;">
<iframe
id="persoscan-widget"
src="https://widget.persoscan.com?license=your-license-key"
style="width:100%;height:650px;border:none;border-radius:8px;color-scheme:light dark;"
allow="fullscreen"
title="PersoScan"
></iframe>
</div>
<script>
var WIDGET_ORIGIN = new URL("https://widget.persoscan.com").origin;
var zoneToCategory = {
"head": "head-care.html",
"neck": "neck-support.html",
"upper-back": "upper-back-support.html",
"lower-back": "lower-back-support.html",
"left-shoulder": "shoulder-support.html",
"right-shoulder": "shoulder-support.html",
"left-arm": "arm-support.html",
"right-arm": "arm-support.html",
"left-hand": "hand-wrist-support.html",
"right-hand": "hand-wrist-support.html",
"left-leg": "leg-knee-support.html",
"right-leg": "leg-knee-support.html",
"left-foot": "foot-care.html",
"right-foot": "foot-care.html"
};
window.addEventListener("message", function(event) {
if (event.origin !== WIDGET_ORIGIN) return;
if (!event.data || event.data.source !== "persoscan-widget") return;
if (event.data.type !== "zone-selected") return;
var zoneId = event.data.data.zoneId;
var categoryPath = zoneToCategory[zoneId];
if (categoryPath) {
window.location.href = "/" + categoryPath;
} else {
window.location.href = "/catalog/category/view/";
}
});
</script>
3. Validate End-To-End
- Open the integration page.
- Click at least five mapped zones.
- Confirm each click redirects to the expected destination.
- Confirm unmapped zones use fallback destination.
Common Mistakes
Full page cache serves a stale block
Problem: The widget or the listener does not appear on the storefront, even though the CMS block is saved.
Cause: Magento’s full page cache is serving the version from before the edit.
Solution:
- Flush the Magento cache after editing the block.
- In developer mode, confirm the block renders before blaming the postMessage wiring.
Origin mismatch blocks events
Problem: Clicks produce no redirects.
Cause: Event origin check does not match actual widget origin.
Solution:
- Derive origin from widget URL (new URL(WIDGET_URL).origin).
- Compare against event.origin.
- Keep strict source check (persoscan-widget).
Zone mapping keys do not match runtime keys
Problem: Some body parts never redirect.
Cause: Mapping object uses wrong key format.
Solution:
- Use exact zoneId values from Zone Reference.
- Keep keys lowercase with hyphen separators.
Test on the storefront where your final theme and scripts run. Editor previews can differ from production script lifecycle.
Keep your mapping dictionary in source control so catalog changes and zone mappings ship together.
