Product Grouping
Predictive Merchandiser makes it easy to group products together so they can be presented to the user. This can be useful when you want to show a product in all of its color variants or the various versions of a product (basic or advanced, for example).
Product groups can be boosted or blocked. If you want to promote a product group that is on sale, for example, you can boost the group to the top of the results.
You can still apply rules individually to products within a group. This allows you to boost a product based on a specific user’s search behavior. If a user typically favors the color red, you can boost the red variant of the product to the top of the group.
