Select an algorithm for your product recommendation block
Kameleoon algorithms determine which products are recommended.
Here is the list of available algorithms:
| Algorithm | Description |
|---|---|
| Popular products | The algorithm returns products sorted by sales rate. |
| Similar products | This algorithm returns products from the same category while considering product characteristics provided by the API. The recommended products should be priced between 85% and 125% of the current product's price. If there aren’t enough products to populate the entire slider, the price range expands to 50%–150%. You can apply additional filters based on other product characteristics. Only works on product detail pages. |
| Products usually purchased with this product | This algorithm returns products often bought with the current product. The calculation period is one month for traffic above 300,000 visits per month and three months for traffic below 300,000 visits per month. Only works on product detail pages. |
| Interesting for you | This machine learning algorithm is based on the rule “visitors who bought the same products as you also bought these products”. |
| Trending products | This algorithm is similar to “Popular Products”, but the sales rate is considered in a much shorter period (24 hours). Therefore, it represents the current trends and demand. The time frame (24h) can be edited in the settings. |
| Recently viewed | This algorithm returns products recently viewed by the user that they haven’t added to their cart. If the block is displayed on a product page, the product currently displayed is excluded from the selection. The calculation period is 14 days. |
| Products usually purchased with the same shopping cart | This algorithm is similar to “Products usually purchased with this product”, but it applies to all the products in the cart. The calculation period is one month for traffic extending 300,000 visits per months and three months for traffic below 300,000 visitors per month. |
| Product usually purchased after this search query | This algorithm analyzes search queries and results, considering what products users purchased who made the same search. This type of block is usually displayed on the search results page, but we recommend visually separating it from the search result itself. The calculation period is one week for traffic above 500,000 visits per month and two weeks for traffic below 500,000 visits per month. |
| Regular purchase | This algorithm calculates an item's frequency of purchase and forecasts the ideal time to display it to visitors. |
| New arrivals | This algorithm returns products marked as “new” in the product feed. |
| Exact products | This algorithm lets you select and display specific products. |
| Store recommendations | This algorithm displays products with a specific tag in the feed, for example, “recommended”, “accessories”. Only works on product detail pages. |
| Partially similar products | Similar to “Similar products”, this algorithm returns products with at least one common category/characteristic. |
| Previously added to cart | This algorithm returns products that the visitor previously added to their cart. The calculation period is 30 days. |
| Products usually viewed with this product | This algorithm returns products other users viewed after the current product. The calculation period is one day. Only works if there are items in the cart. |
| Next best product | This algorithm returns the best product to purchase after the current product. |
You can select an algorithm, set a quantity of product returned by the algorithm, and add filters.
note
If you set a limit of ten products, but the limit of products in the block is six, the block will display six products.

Algorithms at work
Below is a list of algorithms that only work under certain conditions. If the conditions are not met, the algorithm will not work.
Only works on the product page
- Similar products algorithm (works as soon as product ID is available to use)
- Products usually purchased with this item algorithm
- Store recommendations algorithm
Only works if there are items in the cart
- Products usually viewed with this product algorithm.
