Please note that before you can get started, you need to place the Recommendation scripts on your website.

Step 1. Create a new recommendation

In Reloadify, go to the “Personalise” tab and click “Recommendation”. Click on the “New recommendation” button in the top right corner.

You will now see the page where you can create the recommendation:

  • Name: Give your recommendation an internal name that makes sense to you, such as ‘Cross-sell on product page’ or ‘Popular items on the homepage’. Your customers will not see this.

  • Location: Where on your site do you want to display the recommendations? Select the location you set during installation.

  • Algorithm: This is the smart brain behind your recommendation. Which products do you want to show? Choose one of our powerful, predefined algorithms.

  • Display order: Do you have multiple recommendations in the same location? Indicate which one is most important here. A 1 gets priority, a 10 is shown less often. This way, you stay in control.

  • Slider: By default, you use our slider. Would you prefer to use your own HTML code? You can do so here. Please note: this is for experts and we do not provide further support.

  • Public name: This is the title your customers see above the products, such as ‘Others also bought’ or ‘Specially selected for you’. Make it inviting.

Everything filled in? Then click on “next” in the lower right corner.​

Step 2. Summary of the recommendation

You will now see a clear overview of what you have set up. Everything as you want it? Click on “activate” and your product recommendations will go live. Want to review them later? Save them as a draft.

Optional: style the slider with buttons and prices.


Optional: Give your slider its own style

Want to make the recommendations even more consistent with your brand's look and feel? You can easily add prices or a “buy now” button.

Go to Settings and then to Personalize. You will now see three tabs:

  • Style: Customise the appearance of the slider itself here.

  • Languages: Do you have a multilingual webshop? Translate your buttons here for a seamless, local experience.

  • Locations: Here you can create additional locations on your website where you want to display recommendations. These will then appear automatically when you create a new recommendation.

Optional: Add more locations for extra impact

Want to show relevant products in even more places, such as on your blog or on the “about us” page?

  1. Go to Settings, then Personalize and click on the Locations tab.

  2. Click on Add location in the top right corner.

  3. You will now be redirected to your own website. Click on Start and select the new location you want to use.

It's that simple. You now have a powerful, smart shopping assistant that helps your customers find the right products and increases your sales.
