End-user guides:: Predict product categories

End-user guides:: Predict product categories

This document covers how to export valid category data to the Recommender Service.

Sending valid and matching category paths in the product catalog and Category commands are prerequisites for advanced recommendations like CATEGORY and HOME.

Note: There is no limit to the number of category hierarchies in Predict, but Smart Insight, which also uses the product catalog, accepts only the top five and ignores the rest.

Category path

Products belong to a specific node in a category hierarchy. An online bicycle retailer might have the following category hierarchy, for example:

Bikes
   Road Bikes
   Mountain Bikes
 Parts
   Road
     Tyres
     Chains
   MTB
     Tyres
     Chains

A category path denotes a single node in the category hierarchy. It is a >-separated list of subcategories, starting with the top level category.

Bikes and Bikes > Road Bikes are valid category paths, while Road Bikes is not, since it is not a top level category. Redundant (starting and trailing) white spaces are automatically removed, so  Bikes  > Road Bikes is the same as Bikes > Road Bikes.

For example, bike1 (being an awesome road bike) belongs to the broad category of Bikes and to the specific subcategory Bikes > Road Bikes. Our friendly neighborhood bike shop exports this relationship in their Product Catalog.

 item, title, category,...
 bike1, Awesome Road Bike, Bikes > Road Bikes, ...

They also send the correct category path on their category pages. They have the following Javascript snippet on their “Road bikes” page.

ScarabQueue.push(['category', 'Bikes > Road Bikes']);

Products in multiple categories

Sometimes a product can belong to multiple categories. Our bike shop sells pedal1, a universal hybrid pedal which works on road bikes and mountain bikes. It belongs to both Parts > Road > Pedals and Parts > MTB > Pedals, so pedal1 belongs to a list of categories. Lists are |-separated, e.g.:

item, title, category, ...
pedal1, Universal Hybrid Pedal, Parts > Road > Pedals | Parts > MTB > Pedals,...

Getting recommendations for specific categories

Our bike shop can restrict the scope of personalized recommendations using category recommenders. This works great on category pages and thematic newsletters.

On the website

Here’s the Javascript snippet from our merchant’s “parts for road bikes” category page.

 ScarabQueue.push(['category', 'Parts > Road']);
 ScarabQueue.push(['recommend', {
   logic: 'CATEGORY'
 }]);

This returns products from Parts > Road, including all its subcategories.

In emails

Our bike shop has an event coming up called Tyre Friday, with huge discounts on all tyres. They create an email campaign with a Category recommendation logic and they set the category to the following category list.

Parts > Road > Tyres | Parts > MTB > Tyres
