Get user & shop bias
Note: This feature needs to be enabled by Hello Retail, contact our support team.
It is possible to get the user- & shop-bias using the following JavaScript SDK function: get_bias().
The user-bias contains the preferred brand & hierarchies (categories) for the specific user, whereas the shop bias is the most popular brands & hierarchies (categories) throughout the webshop. This function can be used to create personalized categories on the front page, which update based on the users' preferences.
The get_bias() function should be wrapped in the event binder to ensure the function is available when called. You can read more about event binding here.
_awev=(window._awev||[]);_awev.push(["bind", "context_ready", function(){
ADDWISH_PARTNER_NS.api.tracking.get_bias(function(result){
console.log(result); // The result contains the shop & user bias
});
}]);
The response has two object types, shop and user. The shop bias contains the favourite brands and hierarchies (categories) throughout the webshop. The user contains the user-specific preferences.
If implementing a personalized category box for a user, then use the shop-based bias as a fallback, if the user object is null (if we don't recognize the user).
