Components

Overview

Use Components when you want to apply business rules to the recommendations that appear on your site. You can launch custom strategies from pre-defined templates while controlling:

Eligibility: Which products are eligible to appear.
Ranking: How products are ordered and prioritized.

Components combine eligibility logic and merchandising controls into a single configurable layer.

How to Create a Component

Go to the Components tab.
Click Create New Component.
Fill out the required fields:
- Name: Give your component a recognizable title.
- Description: Internal notes on the component's purpose.
- Base Strategy: Select your model (e.g., Recommended For You).

Once created, you can add rules to define specific business logic and fine-tune recommendations. See the Adding Rules section for more details.
