Recommendations
Findologic provides several different options to display recommendations for your users. With these recommendations you can help your customers finding fitting additional products fast.
In the following section you find an explanation regarding the different recommendation options and the corresponding requirements.
Last visited items
Offer your user an overview over the products that this user visited in this browser session.
Requirements
- Information where to place the recommendation box (f.e. product detail page).
- Place a dedicated container with an exact identifier (e.g. a certain class in the <body> of every product detail page) on the page where you want to display the recommendations.
