Also Viewed Items

Navigate to 'Playground' in the left hand menu and then select the recommender logic you wish to use - in this case 'Also viewed items'.

Once selected, the recommender configuration options will appear below.

If you click 'SELECT ITEM FROM CATALOG' you will be taken to a search area where you can search for products. There is also the option to select from the user's recently viewed items:

Change User

The user id testUser will allow you to view your activity from test mode on your shop (viewable in the events monitor). You can change the current user by clicking on 'CHANGE USER' and inputting a different userId:



UserId - why is it needed? 

The userId is optional for this recommender. If you include the userId in the recommender the output will remove products that the individual has previously purchased. 

Days Span

You can also alter the Days span for the recommender to retrieve products also viewed in the last N days. Simply slide the slider and set it to the  time period required - 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days are the most popular. 

Select Attributes

Now you can select the attributes you want to include in the API response - typically these are everything you want to include in your design in your email or on site. Standard fields include:

- Product image

- product title

- product url

- price

- sale price

- quantity / availability
