Implementing Recommend on your Magento store is a 3 step process:
- Collect conversion and click events ( you can skip this step for the Looking Similar Model)
- Train Recommend models
- Enable the models in Magento Admin to implement them on your front-end
1. Collect conversion and click events
To generate Algolia's recommendations, click events need to be sent from the frontend to Algolia. This guide here explains how to enable those events via your Magento Admin Panel. The events included in the Personalization configuration of the Magento extension can also be used for Recommend.
2. Train Recommend models
Once you have enough events, you can start training the Recommend models as described here. These are the available models you can train.
- Frequently Bought Together
- Related Products
- Trending Items and Trending facet values
- Looking Similar (This model can be set up in a few minutes as it doesn’t require any events.)
3. Implement the Recommend UI on your front-end
Once your Recommend models are successfully trained, navigate to Stores > Configuration > Algolia Search > Recommend Products Settings via your Magento Admin Panel to implement the Recommend UI on your front-end. You can refer to the detailed guide here for more details.
