Recommendations Integration

Integrating on your store

There are a view simple steps that you need to do to integrate the widget

You need to choose which widget you want to show and where.
We offer home page, product page, cart page and category page widgets, but you can mix and match them and put them wherever you want on the website.
Enable the widget in the Merchant Dashboard.
As soon as you enable the widget it will become active and will start work and collecting data.
Add the widget code to the desired location on your website.
The widget code will look like the following code

<div id="home-findify-rec-1"></div>

You should put this code into your store theme where you want it to appear.

That's it, now you are using Findify Recommendations on your store, which will help you increase the customer base and gain more revenue!

Recommendation filtering

Each filter is a rule that is applied to an array of products. Each rule has 5 actions available: pin, exclude, include, push to top, push to bottom. For each action, you define product attribute values that will be used to identify products. Almost all product attributes are available (there are some exceptions like description) as well as custom fields.

If there are multiple filters defined, they are executed in the following order sequentially:

pin
exclude
push to the bottom
push to the top
include

After the initial filtering, the products are bucketed into a set of groups for each action in the following order:

pinned
pushed to top
included
pushed to bottom

Inside of buckets 2-4, the products are sorted according to their search relevancy. Pinned products are sorted according to the pinned order, ignoring their relevancy.

This means that if you define both exclude and include actions, from the resulting array of products, products that fall under exclude action will be removed first and then the ones that fall under include action will be left.

Here are examples of rules that can be applied:

Include products only from certain brand
Include products only from certain category
Exclude products of certain brand
Exclude products by ID
Push to top products of certain brand and with quantity > 10 to top

'Current value' integration

When using the current value option, a specific integration needs to be done on the frontend in order to capture the current value of a custom field.

This is done by applying extra tags on the recommendation container, the generic structure looks like this

<div data-findify-filter="FIELD_NAME" data-findify-filter-value="FIELD_VALUE" />

For the FIELD_NAME you need to put the name of the field to filer, e.g. brand, category, custom_fields.width. The value inside data-findify-filter-value tag contains a JSON object in the form of VALUE.

The full example will look similar to this one

<div data-findify-filter="brand" data-findify-filter-value="Adidas" />

If you want to add multiple values for brands, you would need to wrap it up with stringified json:

<div data-findify-filter="brand" data-findify-filter-value='[{"value":"addidas"},{value:"nike"},...]'></div>

Let's say that you have a custom field called 'Gender'. You can setup a tag using this custom field as well (make sure that the name of the filter is the same as it is stored internally in Findify):

<div data-findify-filter="custom_fields.Gender" data-findify-filter-value="Men" />

For the category if the current item is part of a nested category, you need to pass multiple items inside the value array

<div data-findify-filter="category" data-findify-filter-value="CategoryParent > CategoryChild" />
