Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Shopping Cart Suggestions

Using shopping cart suggestions you can offer your customers the products which they might be interested to buy. Customers are often loyal to a particular brand or some products which they frequently buy, thus it's a good idea to build suggestions based on the customer's shopping behavior. As all customer's sales data is stored in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central you can easily recommend certain products to a customer based on the customer's order history. Dynamics 365 Business Central uses specific rules to single out product suggestions for a customer.

For more information about how to enable shopping cart suggestions for the Sana webshop, see "Shopping Cart Suggestions".

In Dynamics 365 Business Central shopping cart suggestions can be configured in the Webshop Card window, on the Ordering FastTab. To open the webshop card, in the top right corner, choose the Search for Page or Report icon and enter Webshops.

The table below provides description of the shopping cart suggestions fields.

Example:

Current date: 02.15.2016
Sorting Option: Counts
Lookback Years: 2
Day Range: 10

In this example Dynamics 365 Business Central will look for the most frequently bought products within last 2 years, in our case from 2014 up to 2016, and within 10 days range - 10 days before the current date and after.

Thus, the customer's order history within the time period below will be checked in Dynamics 365 Business Central, and based on this information, product suggestions will be shown to a customer in the webshop:

February 5 - 15, 2016, February 5 - 25, 2015, and February 5 - 25, 2014
