Solve two standard tasks of online stores using IMLinker

We solve two standard tasks of online stores using IMLinker In most online stores there are two standard tasks, the solution of which allows you to increase the average check and more likely to meet the needs of users:

1. To enable the user to view analogues of the current product.

2. Provide a convenient opportunity for the user to buy a related product.

And these tasks can be solved using the IMLinker module.

To do this, consider a hypothetical example. Let's say there is an online store "Cool equipment", which, as it is not difficult to guess, sells equipment. And he had the following task: "To make the product card with a laptop display similar products, as well as mp3 players as related products." Let me clarify that in the case of mp3 players, the logic is as follows: laptops are often used by those people who often stomp their feet and do business in different places. Accordingly, they may also need mp3 players so that nothing distracts them.

Presented? Now we will solve the problem.

First of all, we will make sure that users have the opportunity to see analogues of the current product.

To do this, fill in the standard table of recommended products using the "Ring" method (multiple ring linking) in the IMLinker module.

1. Opened the IMLinker module and the "Product Rings" tab

2. Selected the "Main table"

3. Specified in the categories "Laptops"

4. Pressed the "Generate!" button

5. Profit!

Note: You can also add filters and settings at your discretion, the example demonstrates only the principle.

Now, let's make sure that happy potential owners of laptops can also immediately buy mp3 players.

First of all, you need to add an output module. Creating Modules for output using "IMLinker"

Next, you need to fill in the settings:

We set the name, the display of "Related products" and the limit (8, for example), as well as the source table. In this example, it will be an Additional table 1.

In the Design for the "Product" layout, we add the created module.

Now, it remains to fill in the goods. Open the "Group-Group" tab of the IMLinker module and set the linking. In the general settings, select "Additional Table 1", as well as the Type of action "<<< | Add products of Group B to Group A, taking into account the settings. "
