Introduction

In the ever-evolving world of e-commerce, it's essential to implement effective upsell and cross-sell strategies. Boost Recommendation, a brand new product recommendation feature, is here to help You maximize your sales. This tutorial video series will guide you through the process of setting up and customizing Boost Recommendation widgets to enhance your product recommendations.

Getting Started with Boost Recommendation

To get started with Boost Recommendation, you need to follow a few simple steps. First, you'll need to choose the suitable page Type where you want to place the recommendation widget. You have four options: the home page, product page, collection page, and cart page. Each page type corresponds to distinct types of recommendation widgets.

Next, you'll need to select your desired recommendation type. There are different options available, such as best sellers, newest arrivals, recently viewed, recently purchased, most viewed, and trending products. While some recommendation types have no extra rules, others, like trending products, allow you to set up recommendations Based on view events or purchase events within a specific time range.

If you prefer to recommend products manually, you can choose the HAND-picked products option. This allows you to select specific products to go with the main product in the recommendation widget. You can arrange the positions of these products within the widget to optimize their visibility.

Another special recommendation type is frequently bought together and related items. These recommendations can be generated using AI-based algorithms or rule-based criteria. The frequently bought together recommendation suggests products that other customers have added to their carts along with the main product. You can choose between AI-based recommendations or rule-based recommendations for this type.

Customizing the Recommendation Widget

Boost Recommendation allows you to customize the layout and title of your recommendation widget to suit your store's aesthetic and branding. You can choose between a carousel layout, which is available across all four page types, or a bundle layout, which is designed specifically for the product page.

Within the carousel layout, you can customize the maximum number of recommendations and the number of products per row. If you opt for the bundle layout, you can select the maximum recommended items and the bundle style.

To personalize the widget title, you can enter a custom name and choose from various styling options, including alignment, text color, font style, text transform, and font size. You also have the option to save these widget title settings as the default, which will be applied to all widgets using the default design settings.

Enabling the Boost Core App

Before you can add the Boost Recommendation widget to your page, you need to ensure that the Boost Core app is enabled. This app is essential for the proper functioning of the recommendation feature. If it's not enabled, the widget will not appear on your storefront. Simply click the "Enable Boost Core" button to enable the app, and click "Save" to confirm.

Adding the Boost Recommendation App Block to Your Page

Once the Boost Core app is enabled, you can proceed to add the Boost Recommendation app block to the page where you want to display the recommendation widget. To do this, you'll need to copy the widget ID from the Boost app admin and paste it into the designated field in your page editor. The recommendation widget with your previously selected settings will then appear on the preview.

You can further customize the spacing or adjust the position of the app section on the page by dragging it up or down. After making any necessary modifications, click "Save" to save your changes. You can now view the results of your Boost Recommendation widget on your storefront.

Finalizing and Previewing the Results

On the recommendation widget screen, you'll find the recommendation widget ID and installation status. You can also edit or delete your widget at any time for future modifications. It's essential to preview your recommendation widget on your storefront to ensure that it looks and functions as intended.

Conclusion

Boost Recommendation offers a powerful solution for implementing upsell and cross-sell strategies in your online store. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial video series, you can easily set up and customize recommendation widgets to maximize the impact of your product recommendations.
