Macro: Product stream

With the Macro Product Stream, you can dynamically integrate products into your content management page. You don't have to select products manually, but can utilise the powerful functionality of our ShopOnTarget search and recommendation system*. This allows you to show the customer the products that have been purchased most frequently, rated best and viewed most often and at the same time match a search and filter setting you have defined.

* Prerequisite: You are using ShopOnTarget as part of MAIA eCommerce Cloud or as an additional package to your purchased MAIA eCommerce solution.

To integrate a product stream into your site, select the "Product stream" macro. A dialogue window appears in which you can configure the product stream.

The following setting options are available:

1. Search: here you can narrow down your entire inventory based on a search query. The search is error-tolerant as usual, but no spelling corrections are automatically carried out. If you want to find all products, search for "*:*". A field-specific search is also possible.
2. You can also filter the product stream based on the product properties. The most relevant 10 filter settings are offered for all product properties available in the system - based on the current search and filter settings. The following apply as product properties
   • The standard product properties (such as manufacturer, delivery time, price, etc.)
   • All product properties of the self-defined article types
3. In the third step, you specify how the product stream should be sorted
   • Relevance: sorts the items so that the products that have been purchased most frequently, rated best and viewed most often are at the top of the list.
   • Relevance with time: Like relevance, but also takes into account the creation date of the product, so that newer products are higher up the list
   • Name ascending: Sorts the product view by name
   • Price ascending / descending: Sorts the item view by price
4. Finally, specify how the product stream should be displayed. TYRIOS does not display all products, but limits itself to the top 20 products
   • Single line: All products are displayed in one line, the user can scroll horizontally through the products using a slider function
   • Multi-line: The products are displayed in multiple lines, as in a classic product overview.
5. Here you can see the results list based on the current search and filter settings.

The macro is inserted into your page when you save it. Each time the page is called up, the content is calculated in real time so that you always present the best recommendations to your customers.
