After setting up the Category, the next step is to define the product groups for your merchandising. These groups determine how products are selected and displayed in your merchandisng.
Step 1: Define Product Blocks
Rename Product Blocks:
Each product group is represented by a block. You can rename these blocks to reflect their purpose or the type of products they include.
Example: Rename blocks as "Most Viewed", "New Arrivals", or "Bestsellers".
Algorithm Selection:
Assign an algorithm to each block. The algorithm determines which products are included in that block (e.g., most viewed, recently added, bestsellers).
The final merchandising will concatenate the results from all blocks in sequence:
- Products from Block 1 + Products from Block 2 + Products from Block 3, etc.
Step 2: Advanced Configuration (Optional)
Access Advanced Options:
- Click the ‘Advanced’ button beneath each product block to configure it further.
Set Product Limits: - Limit the number of products displayed for each block by adjusting the settings under the tabs named after your blocks.
Example:
Block 1: Display up to 5 products from "Most Viewed".
Block 2: Display up to 5 products from "New Arrivals".
Block 3: Display up to 5 products from "Bestsellers".
Shuffle Products:
Enable the option to randomly shuffle the products within a block to add variety.
Step 3: Adjust Display Order
Use the drag-and-drop system to rearrange the order of your blocks.
The display order of products in the merchandising will reflect the order of your blocks.
Example Configuration
Block Names:
Block 1: Test 1 (Best Views in category – Limit: 5 Products).
Block 2: Test 2 (All available products in the category – Limit: 5 Products).
Block 3: Test 3 (Best sale (30days)– Limit: 5 Products).
Result: The final merchandising will display:
5 Best views of category products, followed by
5 Available products of the category, and finally
5 Best sales (30days).
Total Display: The merchandising is limited to 15 products.
