Creating
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 generally there are two options:
Recommendation: This is a typical product recommendation widget that can be embedded or overlaid on your site to show a list of recommended products to the user.
Product Activity: This widget can only be used with "Product Activity" recommendation models on product pages to show the number of times the current product has been viewed / added to cart / purchased recently. Typically, this type of widget is embedded on your product pages.
Continue to Editing Widget to learn more about how to customize your widget.
