Feature recap

Efficiently slot products without disrupting your personalization and AI strategy. Conditional slot merchandising makes it easy to define what types of products should appear in a particular slot, and then Loomi AI takes it from there.

Tailor the product layout in 2 simple steps:

1. Handpick one or more slots from the product grid. This release adds the ability to select whole rows or columns.

   

2. Choose and apply attribute conditions to match and display product types in slots.

Bloomreach algorithm populates the slots with the top-ranking products according to your merchandising use case.

How to access the feature on dashboard

Conditional slot merchandising is available on the following merchandising pages:

• Search term ranking rules
• Category ranking rules (including Dynamic categories)

Define conditional rules at the site, site group, and account levels.

Why is this valuable?

These changes bring more transparency to help you understand what impacts the ranking.

Manage rules with ease using notes

What improved?

• Add notes in the Visual Editor to describe a rule's goal or to help you recall its details. Keep track of different rule variants using notes specific to each variant.

  

• On the rules listing page, search for notes the same way you search for ranking rules.
