Step 4: Add your products fields with values under the newly created Index.

Step 5: You need to change your app name in the manage applications page. Just open the given url, edit the app and give your app a name. This app name is used in the template.

Step 6: Now open the API keys tab from the left menu and copy the Search-Only API Key , now open the src->routes->ecommerce->shop->index.jsfile from the template and paste the credentials in the apiKey, indexName with the index you have created & appId with the app name you have given to your app in step 5.

<InstantSearch
