Creating

Creating new widget

Navigate to the "Widgets" list in the Merchandising section of the left sidebar in the portal. Here you will see a list of all merchandising widgets on your account along with their current status.;

To get started, click the "Add Widget" button in the top right corner. If you have multiple product catalogs, you will have to first select a product catalog to act as the product source for the new widget. If you only have one catalog, the system will automatically move you to the next step.;

As you see above in Figure 1, the next step is to select a widget type. The options here could vary depending on the enabled recommendation models on your account, but there are up to four options:

• Recommendation: Use if you want to recommend users a list of products
• Product Activity: Use if you want to display the popularity of a particular product
• Product Tag List: Use if you want users to see the current product's categories and link to the "Product Tag Explorer"
• Product Tag Explorer: Use if you want users to discover products based on a particular tag (category)

See How Does It Work for more information on each widget.
