General #
Clerk.io’s Recommendations can be installed on any page of the webshop, to help customers find the right products.
With the Setup Guide, you can see which pages to install recommendations on, and which types to use, to get our Best Practice running.
From the main menu start by clicking on Getting Started:
1. Create a Standard Design #
The first thing you need to do, is create a Standard Design for your sliders.
You can use the Setup Guide under Recommendations - Create a design for your recommendations sliders - to quickly create a Design that has the same color scheme and style as your webshop.
Click Use This Design when you are happy with the styling.
You can easily change this later, under Recommendations - Designs in the left menu.
2. Selecting Which Recommendations To Use #
Next, each step of the Setup Guide focuses on a specific page of the webshop.
They contain information about
Why recommendations are important on the page.
Which recommendations types to use.
Where on the page they should be placed.
Click for each type of recommendations you want to use and follow the steps.
Please bare in mind: by only clicking on each block of Recommendations they will turn green as if they were installed - they are not - you still need to click and follow the steps.
3. Inserting Recommendations #
After choosing which recommendations to use for a page, you can add them to your webshop.
3.1 Inserting only with Embedcodes #
These pages only allow an integration with embedcode:
- Add recommendations to your product page
- Add recommendations to your cart page - Show most popular products in your category pages
- Add recommendations to your home page
- Add content recommendations to your blog or news
For each type of recommendations, simply copy the embedcode and insert them to the file that generates the relevant page in your webshop.
Click on each type of Recommendations and follow the steps.
Here is an example of how to Add recommendations to your product page:
Click on DONE
Some embed codes require variables like product or category-IDs. In these cases, simply choose DanDomain Classic from the Choose Platform dropdown, before copying the embedcode.
3.2 Inserting only with Extension #
These pages only allow an integration though the Extension:
- Show add-to-basket recommendations
- Add exit-intent recommendations
Click on each one and follow the steps.
Here is an example of how to Show add-to-basket recommendations:
Click on DONE
You can easily change your content later, under Recommendations - Content in the left menu.
Change Content
After enabling the features, you will be able to see Clerk.io’s RECOMMENDATIONS function on your webshop.
Add-to-basket step #
The Add-To-Basket step (Powerstep) helps customers buy more by showing relevant products based on their behaviour on the webshop, when they put a product in the basket.
If you haven’t already, create the Content that you want to use in your Add-To-Basket Step (Power Step).
In the DanDomain backend, go to the Clerk.io App in the sidemenu.
Scroll down and find the Powerstep tab and check Enable.
Then, copy the Content IDs that you want to show, to the text-field
Click Gem in top of the screen.
A Popup will now be shown when a product is added to the cart.
You can find the ID’S of each Content blocks you have created in your Clerk backend( my,clerk.io), under Recommendations -> Content -> Edit (the number of Content varies between 1 to 4 for the Add-To-Basket step):
Here is an example of how to find the Content ’s ID:
Translating texts #
The DanDomain Classic app allows you to choose the text that is displayed in the Powerstep, both when using a Page and a Popup.
To customise the texts, make sure you have enabled Advanced Settings
Under Powerstep you will see 3 input-fields where you can choose the texts:
In the Added to basket text you can use the variable {produktnavn} to automatically insert the name of the product that was added to the basket.
Exit Intent #
Exit-Intent is a popup that will be shown when a customer tries to leave the webshop by hovering the mouse in the top of the window:
You can easily activate the function in the DanDomain Classic app.
Make new Website Content in my.clerk.io and name it “Exit Intent Recommendations”
Choose a logic for it - We suggest “Visitor Recommendations”.
Go to the DanDomain backend, and click Clerk.io in the menu.
Under Exit Intent, check the Enabled box and write “exit-intent-recommendations” in the Content field.
Click Gem in the top of the page.
A popup will now be shown the first time a customer tries to leave the webshop.
