What does “full bundle” mean?
A full bundle is the current product plus all the recommendations the app is set to show for it. In other words, it is the complete bundle as displayed on the product page, with no product missing.
How many recommendations that means depends on how the product’s bundle is configured:
| Situation | A full bundle is… |
|---|---|
| Default (automatic or manual recommendations) | The current product + the number set in Number of recommendations |
| Exclusive manual bundles, product has a manual bundle | The current product + all the manual recommendations configured for it |
| Exclusive manual bundles, product has no manual bundle | The current product + the number set in Number of recommendations |
Default behavior
The size of the bundle is set by Number of recommendations, in the Bundle tuning section:
For example, with Number of recommendations set to 2, a full bundle has 3 products: the current product and 2 recommendations.
It doesn’t matter where the recommendations come from. A full bundle can be made of automatic recommendations:
Or of manual recommendations:
Note: If you configure more manual recommendations than the value of Number of recommendations, the app only shows that number. In the example above, 3 manual recommendations are configured but only 2 are displayed, so the full bundle is the current product + 2 recommendations.
With the “Exclusive manual bundles” algorithm
When you use the Exclusive manual bundles algorithm, you can set the app to display all the manual recommendations configured for a product, regardless of the Number of recommendations setting:
In this case, what counts as a full bundle depends on the product:
- Products with a manual bundle: the full bundle is the current product + every manual recommendation configured for it. In other words, the complete manual bundle.
- Products without a manual bundle: the default behavior applies. The full bundle is the current product + the number set in Number of recommendations.
