Rule Specific Product Card Customization

💡Prerequisite knowledge

We recommend that you review the following guides to understand this feature guide::

Glossary

Take a look at the following data-related terms used frequently in this guide:

  • Attributes:Descriptions of a product, such as its size, color, material, etc.

  • Metrics:Key numbers that show how well a product is performing. This could include how many units are sold, how much revenue it's making, and how often the product’s being viewed by customers.

  • Datapoints:Individual pieces of information that represent a numeric attribute value. SKU inventory with a numeric value is a data point by default.

Example: The visual below illustrates the product data for the product “white sneakers.”

Configuring Product Card Data for a Query Rule

The steps given below illustrate how you can select the Datapoints to be displayed on the product cards for a query rule. The changes you make here will override the default global product card settings for a particular query rule.

Step 1. Choose a suitable level

Before changing the product card settings for a query rule, decide what level you want to make these changes at. The scope of product card settings is different based on the level selection made:

  • Account level: Product card settings will be changed for the specific query rule at the Account level.
  • Site Group level: Product card settings will be changed for the specific query rule at the Site Group level.
  • Site level (Site Global): Product card settings will be changed for the specific query rule at the Site level.

After making the appropriate selection, move ahead to the next step.

Step 2. Open existing Query Rule/ Create a new Query Rule

In order to make any customizations to the product cards, you can either open an already existing rule or create a new one.

Open an existing Query Rule
  • Go to Search & Merchandising → Site Search → Ranking rules.
  • Locate the desired rule listed on the Search Ranking Rules page.
  • Click Edit option. This opens the Product Grid.
Create a new Query Rule
  • Go to Search & Merchandising → Site Search → Ranking rules.
  • Click Add Search Ranking Rule.
  • Enter the keywords in the search term field.

Step 3. Configure Product card data display


Click the ☸ Settings button to reveal a dropdown menu. Choose Product card data display.

This opens up the Product card data display selection module. The module is divided into three sections:

  • A. Selection Panel: The first section lists the Metrics and Attributes available for selection. Tick the checkboxes to select the desired Datapoints. You can also use the search bar to find any metric/attribute quickly. You can select up to 15 Datapoints at a time. If you’ve already selected 15 values and wish to add another value, you can uncheck any of the selected values.

The following table lists and describes the available Datapoints:

AttributesThis data comes directly from your feed and includes attributes for each product in the Product grid. The attributes that you have selected in the global product card settings are marked with the “Globally Selected” tag.Color, Inventory, Margin
SKU attributes/Datapoints [if you have SKU attributes]This data comes directly from your feed and includes SKU attributes like Inventory for each SKU of every product in the Product grid. Notes:
  • The inventory data will be shown by default for all the SKU attributes selected.
  • All the numeric attributes are considered SKU Datapoints.
Inventory for each SKU attribute value. For example, inventory for each size and inventory for each color

Skip this section if you don’t have SKU attributes

If you wish to alter the default SKU settings for all product cards, then follow the steps below:

  • Choose any SKU attribute/Datapoint. This activates the “SKU Settings” button. Click the “SKU Settings” button to view the SKU Settings modal.
  • The SKU Settings panel provides two sections, as indicated in the illustration. The top section helps you select the Datapoints to be viewed on the product cards. The bottom section allows you to configure the SKU Attribute values that you selected in the previous step.

  • Selecting Datapoints: Check the desired SKU Datapoints from the dropdown. Now click “Done.” Please note that if there are no numeric data points available, then you’ll see a “No Data Available” message.

  • Configuring Attributes: Click the option “+ Configure SKU attribute values.” This displays a dropdown that you can use to select the SKU attributes. Once finished, click “Done.”

Now, select the values of the chosen SKU attributes. You can also type in the values. In the example above, we selected the values of the attribute “attr_depth.” Once you’re satisfied with the settings, click “Save.”

The updated settings will reflect in the product cards.

👍

Please ensure that you pass the “SKU_inventory” parameter in the feed with precise case sensitivity.


  • B. Selected values Panel:The second section shows the selected Datapoints. You can drag and drop to reorder the selected metrics/attributes by clicking down on the drag function. Please note that the first four values will be visible on the product card. Other chosen values will be visible when you click “view more.”
  • C. Preview Panel:The third section shows the product card preview, which gives you a visual idea of how the product card appears with the selected values.

Step 4. Save or Reset Changes

  • If you’re satisfied with the product card customizations, click the “Save” button.
  • If you wish to restore the changes, click “Reset to default”. This will reset the product card display settings to what you have set in the Global display settings.

Step 5. View data in product cards

In the Visual Editor, the product cards will display 4 metrics and a “view more” option.

To view the SKU data, hover over the SKU attribute value. To see all the attributes and metrics, click the View More option.

This reveals a modal with a summary of all attributes and metrics in the following order:

  • Account level metrics
  • Site level metrics
  • Page level metrics
  • Attributes
  • SKU Data

You can use the dropdown provided to view the SKU attributes data. In the example below, “var_price” is a data point that will always be shown.

Points to remember

  • For multi-query ranking rules, you can switch to a different query by clicking on the query bubble in the Search Terms field. Then follow the same process as described above.
  • After saving a Product card customization for a query rule, if any query of a single/multi-query rule is changed, then the Product card customization will “Reset to Default.” For instance, you made a set of product card customizations for “Chairs” query ranking rule. If you now change the query to “Sofa,” the product card customizations will be removed and reset to default global settings.
  • If an attribute becomes invalid after a feed update (suppose you stop sending an attribute in the feed), then the attribute wouldn’t appear in the Selection Panel.
  • Only numeric attributes are supported for SKU Datapoints. This means that you can only see the SKU-level data that you are sending as numeric displayable fields.
