Product Configuration feature – Quicklizard

What is the Product Configuration feature?

The Product Configuration Feature in our platform allows users to create editable fields to customize the attributes of a product. Using the product configuration does not change the recommended price that was generated for a product, but it allows you to add additional attributes to the product after the price was generated. If you want to change the recommended price, please check out this article about 'dynamic attributes'.

This article describes how you can setup and use the Product Configuration feature. Make sure to read the end of the article, which describes how you can apply the Product Configuration in bulk mode.

What Can I Use it For?

The Product Configuration Feature can be used to achieve outcomes such as:

Leaving a comment on a specific attribute
Defining a specific margin to override a general margin on a product level
To mark a product as "Read"

Setup

To define this feature, you will need to be a "setting manager".

Insert all of the required fields under Product Configuration Template" in JSON format.

Click on the question mark to get an example of all optional fields.

Required field

To block the option of a user saving field without content, add "required" param:

{
    "field": "numeric_variable",
    "kind": "number",
    "placeholder": "1.5",
    "required": true
  },

Dependency Between Fields

If you have a field you need to fill in only once another one is edited, set it as "dependent".

  {
    "field": "numeric_variable",
    "kind": "number",
    "placeholder": "1.5",
    "depends_on": [{"field": "text_variable", "values": ["opt a", "opt b"]}],
  },

Each field can be dependent on one other field.

The Product Config TTL feature allows you to temporarily save product configurations directly on the product page. These configurations will remain active for a set period, defined by the TTL (Time to Live). Once the TTL expires, the product configurations will be automatically removed from the pricing system

How to use it?

Product configuration is available both on the product page, and all recommendations.

Product Page

You should see a tab next to "Attributes" that displays the configured product.

Recommendations View

There are two ways to use product configuration variables in the recommendations view:

1. View the product configuration variable as you would any attribute by selecting them as a column.
Keep in mind that if you defined multiple product configuration variables, you need to select all the variable that you want to see in the Recommendations table view.

2. Add the product configuration to your view as an editable field by selecting "Product Configuration".
Adding the editable field is separate from adding the individual product configuration variables as viewable columns.
