Next to each setting is an ⓘ (HelpHint) icon with explanations:
- Selection Strategy (Strategy) — algorithm:
- Co-purchased — based on statistics of co-purchases (the main option for this type of block).
- Similar by attributes — based on matching attribute values.
- Category match — top products from selected categories.
- Exclude already added — do not show products that the user has already added to the cart.
- Fallback to trending — what to show if the main algorithm finds nothing (trending products or an empty result).
Audience filter
The audience for the block — see Audience Filter.
Attributes
The "Attributes" tab contains two dropdowns for selecting a Template and a Set of Attributes.
Simulated user ID — preview "as if" from the user's perspective
To see what a specific user would see, there is an input for Simulated user ID in the Preview section. Enter the user ID — the preview will generate results as if the request came from them.
Particularly useful for blocks like Frequently ordered / Repeat purchase / Personal recommendations — where the result heavily depends on the specific user's history.
Preview
The "Open in modal" button opens the Preview Modal with Basic and Investigate tabs.
