Populating carousels with historic data
In this feature, you can:
- Populate carousels with historic data
To populate carousels by rule, do the following:
- Login to your WebStore Manager.
- Go to Design & Content > Carousel Builder.
- Select or create a new carousel.
- Select populated by history.
Populating carousels with historic purchase data
- Every time a product is bought, your store remembers which products were bought with it.
- When Widget_A is bought with Widget_ B that connection is stored. This carousel will then use this data to display products that were bought together.
- This carousel should only be included on product pages. On the product page for Widget_A this carousel will look for other products that were bought with it.
Note: The panel only makes sense to use after the store has built up a history of purchases.
Options that Affect this Carousel
- There are two global options that have an effect on the products displayed in this carousel.
- Because they are global options you cannot set them ‘per carousel’.
Ordering of Items
- By default, we arrange the items in the carousel by the frequency with which they were bought together.
- It is possible to change this to display the associated items alphabetically.
Number of Items to Display
- This allows you to determine the number of items to display on this carousel.
- This overrides the global setting found in the WebStore Configuration page called Change the number of related items displayed.
