How do I add Placements?

Placements are an effective way to boost sales by offering personalised product recommendations to your customers.

How do placements work?

When customers add products to their basket or proceed to checkout, they will see a section recommending products of your choice.

Placements operate based on tags, so the more tags your products have in common, the better!

This feature is highly accurate and always respects your preferences. It allows you to choose what your customers see, enhancing your cross-selling strategy on your website.
