Target block or product block

What are Target Blocks?

• A Target block (or) product block is a specific container for displaying a collection of different products and is a great way to promote the products by displaying targeted products based on your predefined rules through these blocks on the Product Details page, Cart Page, and Add to Cart page, etc…
  
  
• The products are loaded with these blocks by predefined rules, which can be defined by the production selection criteria of the user.
  
  

Predefined Target Blocks:

• There are some predefined blocks as mentioned below:
  • Cross Sale,
  • Up Sale,
  • Cart Page,
  • Add to Cart, and
  • External Recommendation Engine:
• These predefined blocks will be displayed in their targeted locations automatically, but you need to define the rules for them for displaying the required products.
  
  
  • Note: To display the targeted products through these blocks, all you need to do is to create rules and apply them to the required blocks.
    
    
  • 1. The default Cross Sale target block will be displayed through a Product Showcase in the 'Product Details page' automatically.
    • If you want the targeted products are to be displayed through the cross sale target block as per the configured rules and not automatically, the Allow auto configuration of 'Cross-Sell' checkbox in the Cross-Sell Automation section of the Application Settings > Store Settings should be cleared.
      • Note: If the Allow auto configuration of 'Cross-Sell' checkbox is selected, the cross-sell products will be displayed based on the predefined rules that are set at our database.
        Please Refer: Cross-Sell Automation for more details.
        
        
  • 2. The default Up Sale target block will be displayed through a Product Showcase in the 'Cart Page' automatically provided the Enable Display Cart Showcase checkbox is selected in the Display Cart Showcase section of Application Settings > Store Settings page and the Target Block section is not configured in the Display Cart Showcase section.
    Please Refer: Display Cart Showcase for more details.
    
    
  • 3. The default Cart Page target block will be displayed through a Product Showcase in the 'Cart Page' automatically provided the Enable Display Cart Showcase checkbox is selected in the Display Cart Showcase section of the Application Settings > Store Settings page and the 'Cart Page' target block is selected from the Target Block drop-down under the Native radio button of the Display Cart Showcase section.
    Please Refer: Display Cart Showcase for more details.
    
    
  • 4. The default Add to Cart target block will be displayed through a Popup in the ‘Add to Cart Page’ automatically (i.e. when the ‘Add to Cart’ button is clicked.)
    
    
  • 5. The 'External Recommendation Engine' target blocks can be displayed in the storefront as per your requirement through the Product Showcase 'drag & drop' control.
    Please refer Parameters to know how to configure the external or 3rd party target blocks.
