Integration
Integration prerequisites and timeline.
Prerequisites
The following conditions must be met before onboarding can begin:
Standard Integration The website must already be integrated into Fanplayr's standard page and order tracking flows either by installing one our existing shopping cart extensions or via a manual integration.
Enhanced User Identification The website must also implement the Enhanced User Identification feature to ensure returning visitors are identified consistently so that their product browsing and purchase signals can be used to accurately feed prediction models.
Capture Order Products The website must include full a complete list of products purchased in all order events captured. Products in the list must include the
id
,sku
,name
,price
andqty
fields.Consistent Product IDs and SKUs Ensure that product IDs and SKUs are tracked consistently between all page view, shopping cart and order tracking events in a way that is compatible with your desired product catalog and recommendations configuration. See, catalog levels for more information.
Minimum data requirements For most recommendation models you will need at least 90 days of page view and order events to have been captured before the models can be trained. Having fewer events will limit the options available and affect the quality of the models generated. See, model requirements for more information.
Integration timeline
The time to go live with Fanplayr Product Recommendations is typically between 2-3 weeks depending on the size of your product catalog and the amount of traffic generated by your store. A typical onboarding timeline is as follows:

The initial training of each AI model is estimated to take 7-14 days depending on the size of the product catalog and the amount of traffic generated by your store. Models can be trained in parallel.
7-14 days
Validation of AI models
General testing of trained models.
