Selecting similar products

English forums
1

Hi,

We have a request to change the logic for selecting “Similar products” in the eshop:

If we would change this - it may affect some marketing stuff in live shops, like existing promotions, etc. So at first - we would like to discuss about this here and hear some opinions.
Also, in our opinion, this place can be improved, because of course - comparing products only by existing attributes is not precise.

Some ideas from our side:

  • it can depend on precision of similarities between product, i.e. if percentage is 40% - then check only attributes (titles), if >60% - check also values.
  • there can be more milestones for comparing in different scotches: more percentage is - more details/attributes/values can be compared.
  • what should be compared:
    a) define some list with items like - if from the same category, category level, manufacturer, has the similar words in the title, phrases in description, etc…
    b) it can be defined by shop owner.

If you have any more ideas about how it can be improved, what criteria should be valuated in this functionality, etc. - please write it here and let’s discuss about it.

It would make more sense to post this in the German forum in German language. Guess, you would get more input for it.

Hi,

Sorry, but I don’t speak nor understand in German language. So I started this discussion here. Also I think this is a good place for gathering feedback from international market.
But, if somebody would open a forum thread in the German branch and would post the feedback from there here - I would appreciate.

Best regards.
