Product groupings are sets of products you've chosen to group together, e.g. clothing ensembles/co-ords (tops and bottoms that match), or matching by aesthetic, etc.

Use product groupings as an alternative to manual merchandising by giving your products a shared attribute so Ometria treats them as one product in your merchandising strategy, meaning they always display together on product landing pages, search results, etc. 

You can apply merchandising blends and merchandising concepts to your product groupings. 

When you apply a merchandising blend to a page element, product groupings are given a combined score, so that your product groupings always move together in the product sequence. 

Create a product grouping

Go to: Website personalisation > Merchandising > Product groupings

Select +Create new grouping.

Complete the following fields:

Field Description
Name Give your product grouping a memorable name.
Description Enter a short description.
Tags Enter tags separated by commas - you can use these to filter your groupings in the Product groupings home screen. 
Merchandising blends

Optional.

Select a merchandising blend to apply to this grouping. 
Field

Select the product field type this product grouping is based on:

  • Product Attribute - you'll be asked to choose an attribute
  • Product Title - you'll be asked to enter a Regex Pattern. This is a piece of code that tells Ometria how to sort your product groupings. You may need development work for this.
  • Product Property - you'll be asked to enter the properties field/key you want to use.
Mixing algorithm

This field defines how your product groupings and non-grouped (single) products are mixed together in your merchandising templates.

Choose from:

  • Layered - groupings go to top, single products go together
  • Mixed - groupings and single products are mixed
Scoring algorithm

Choose from:

  • First
  • Last
  • Min
  • Max
  • Sum
  • Average
Collapse Toggle on if you want to collapse your product groups into a single product, e.g. if your product group contains very similar products.
Apply to templates

(Non-collapsed groupings only)

Toggle on to apply product groupings before templates.

If you leave this off, product groupings are applied after templates. 
Fit to rows

(Non-collapsed groupings only)

Toggle on to arrange your product groupings so that they fit into rows.
