Follow these steps to create a new AI-powered recommendation widget in Experro:
1

Open the Recommendations Tab

  • In the left navigation panel, click Discovery → Recommendations.
  • The menu has three further options: Home, Analytics, and Widgets.
  • Select Widgets to see your existing widgets and then click on the Add Widget button to create a new widget.
2

Launch the Add Widget Flow

  • Click Add Widget.
  • A full-screen panel appears listing all available recommendation algorithms (RFY, Frequently Bought Together, Similar Products, etc.).
3

Choose Your Algorithm

  • Find and click the algorithm that fits your goal (e.g. “Recommended For You” for personalized picks).
  • Each algorithm tile includes a brief use case description.
4

Name & Describe

  • In the modal that appears, fill out:
    • Widget Name: A descriptive title (e.g. “Homepage RFY Carousel”).
    • Description (optional): Notes for your team about placement, audience, or context.
  • Click Save to create your widget.
5

Configure Your Default (Global) Rule

  • You’re taken to the widget’s Rules screen.
  • A Global rule is selected by default—any merchandising or fallback settings configured here apply wherever this widget is rendered (homepage, PDP, cart).
  • Global rule is mandatory; you cannot remove it.
6

Add Page-Level Overrides (Optional)

  • To customize behavior on specific pages, click Add Rule and provide the following details :
    • Rule Name: A descriptive title.
    • Description: Notes for your team.
    • Rule Type: Select Homepage, Product, or Cart based on the context you want to target.
  • Each page-level rule overrides the Global rule for that context, whether Homepage, Product, or Cart page.
    You may only have one rule active for each context in a given time window.
7

Edit a Rule

  • Click the Edit Rule option against the global rule or the Edit option under Actions next to custom created widget rules.
  • Toggle Merchandising on/off and configure boost/pin/slot/sort/include/exclude rules.
  • Toggle Fallback Algorithm on/off and select your backup recommendation engine.
  • Click Save within the rule editor to apply.
8

Activate & Publish

  • Once all rules and settings are configured, toggle your widget Active if it is not already active.
  • Navigate to Content Library to map the widget you created to the storefront.
  • Read about Publishing Widgets on Storefront to publish the widget on your storefront.
Key Concepts
  • Global Rule: Applies everywhere the widget appears.
  • Page-Level Rule: Overrides Global on homepage, product, or cart.
  • Only one rule per page type may be active at any given time.
  • Merchandising + Fallback toggles live inside each rule’s editor.
Now that your widget and rules are in place, explore Recommendation Algorithms to learn more about each algorithm.
