We have just launched 2 new advanced features for our merchandising engine.

Custom Boost

You can now fully customize how much you want to boost any given set of products in a merchandising campaign. You can even boost negatively to bury products you want to display less.

Multiple Conditional Triggers

You can now choose if your campaign should be triggered by any of the triggers or only if all of the trigger conditions have been met.

This allows for more complex campaigns that only trigger when several conditions apply.

Custom API Orchestration

You can now trigger merchandising campaigns though Clerk.js or our API to build even more complex rules and conditions of your own without any limitations.

In these times it is more important than ever to be sure that your efforts pay off. That's why we have gone through our main dashboard and removed any nonsense metrics and the important facts are crystal clear.

Here are our improvements:

The most important thing first - are we making you money?

The first thing we show you is how much more we make your customers buy and how that grows your topline revenue. That's it - no other metrics - just this most important one.

Better attribution overview

We have compacted the revenue attribution section so it's more concise and can fit into one screen. Other than that its the same data and information that you have always known.

Easier to understand KPI impact

We have added some more explanation and better visuals to our KPI impacts section to make what we are measuring easier to understand.

Recommendations location impact and ROI

We updated the visuals for how the different recommendation logics impact your average order value and basket size. We have now also compared the individual location cost so you get a clear view of your ROI for each location.

Now you can preview and customize your styling of any design so it it pixel perfect on both desktops, mobile, and tablet.

When running an efficient e-commerce operation every single minute spend optimizing matters.

That's why we just made it much easier to add synonyms or pin products to your non-converting or empty search results.

We also made the user experience of editing pinned products and synonyms smoother and faster.

This is all to ensure that anyone that uses our e-commerce search always has the very best search experience for their customers.

We have just launched our advances search redirects feature for Clerk.io Search.

This feature allows you to send customers to tailor-made landing pages, campaign sites or categories when they search.

You can configure each redirect to be triggered by an unlimited amount of keywords and even set up both keywords that should be matched exactly or trigger the redirect if specific phrases are in a search term.

Merchandising have finally arrived in Clerk.io!

Clerk.io has always helped e-tailers by better giving their customers what they want. But sometimes the customer's best interests aren't what builds the best e-commerce business.

For a long time, we have wanted to help e-tailers get better deals from their suppliers and promote higher-margin products - without sacrificing the user experience of their customers.

We feel that we finally found the right balance giving e-tailers the perfect balance between powerful merchandising and ease of use that still puts your customers at the center of your business.

Below are the main features:

Scheduling

Run a merchandising campaign right now or at a specific time. This makes it easy to plan your merchandising effort in advance.

Multiple Triggers

A merchandising campaign can be applied everywhere or be triggered by several events such as searches, when a user sees a category or a specific set of products.

Multiple Action Rules

In a single merchandising campaign, you can apply multiple action rules to take effect. It can be to only show specific products while simultaneously giving high margin products a significant boost.

So much more to come…

Merchandising is currently in beta. This is not because the product is not rock solid but because we want to indicate that we have a lot of improvements coming up.

Here are some of the things we will be implementing:

• Smoother selection UI.
• More finely tuned boosting.
• Better previews of the consequences/impact of a campaign.
• Clear reporting on how the campaign impacts your sales.

When creating a new store in my.clerk.io you can now automatically copy all settings from an existing store. Simple and easy.
