Creating a Cart Similar Block
The Cart Similar block recommends products similar to those that the user has already added to their cart. Unlike the Wishlist Similar, the source is the cart itself, not the favorites.
1. Creating the Block
To create the block, enter a name in the Name field, select "Cart Similar" in the "Type" field, and specify a
2. Editing the Block
The CartSimilarSettings screen includes:
- Basic data
- Automatic attribute matching (Automatic mode)
- Audience filter
- Preview
Automatic Attribute Matching
This is the main section of the block. Here you select the attributes based on which similar products will be matched. The logic is controlled by the checkbox “Match all attributes”:
- Enabled → a product will be included in the results only if all attributes match (logic "AND"). For example, brand = X AND color = Y.
- Disabled → it is sufficient for at least one attribute to match (logic "OR").
Next to the checkbox is an icon ⓘ (HelpHint) with a detailed explanation and recommendations.
For clothing and footwear, it is better to choose "OR" — otherwise, very few products will be included. For strict filters (e.g., parts and compatibility) — "AND".
The block includes a Found products section — a preview of the list of products under the current settings. Below each product, a caption Matched by: Brand: ONE, Color: White is displayed — next to the value, the name of the attribute by which it matched is shown.
Audience Filter
The audience for the block is set by a separate editor — see Audience Filter.
Attributes
The "Attributes" tab contains two dropdown lists for selecting a Template and a Set of Attributes.
Preview
The “Open in modal” button opens the Preview Modal with Basic and Investigate tabs.
The preview of the wishlist/cart-similar block now correctly filters products by the selected category — previously, it showed products outside the category.
