This feature is valuable for boosting conversions. Additionally, you can customize the text that will appear on these "Add to Cart" buttons to better suit your needs.
Selectors
If you have a customized theme, you may need to utilize the advanced selectors within the quick view settings to ensure the search bar triggers and displays properly. Rebuy provides default selectors that are configured to work seamlessly with default Shopify themes, so you might not require these advanced selectors. However, if needed, here are the definitions.
We advise previewing Smart Search before making any adjustments to these settings. In most cases, default themes will function properly with the default elements we have configured for you. These selectors should only be necessary if Smart Search is not behaving as expected.
Trigger Element
A Trigger Element refers to an element or component that initiates a specific action or behavior when interacted with by a user. In this case we would expect your trigger element to be the search icon.
Embedded Element
An Embedded Element refers to content, such as multimedia or interactive components, that is integrated directly into a web page. This is where we embed the search display to.
Suggested Search Terms
Configure keyword suggestions that shoppers will encounter before they commence typing within these settings. Suggested Search Terms has two default rules built by Rebuy that you can enable and/or you can create your own custom search terms.
Previous Search History: These are recent search terms recorded by session ID, tied to the user session, and based on all-time searches.
Trending Search Terms: These are search terms that have been trending in the past 24 hours across the merchant site.
Custom (Add New): New search terms refer to custom terms that you can create according to your preferences to be suggested in the search bar.
As you configure the layout of the suggested search terms, you can adjust their priority within the settings by clicking and dragging them to modify. Search terms are prioritized in a top-down approach.
Suggested Products
Configure product suggestions that shoppers will encounter before they start typing. You have two default settings to choose from: user history (search and view) and trending products. Additionally, you can opt to display custom products, or combine both options.
User History (Search and View): This feature displays recently viewed products, which are tied to the user session and based on all-time activity. It is generated from cookie tracking; however, unless users are signed in, 100% of the data remains anonymous. We do not track or sell cookie data. We can only associate events that are anonymized across the same browser unless users sign in and voluntarily provide us with customer information.
Trending Products: These are the products that have been trending within the past 30 days, indicating the most purchased items across the merchant site during that period.
Custom (Add New): This option allows you to add custom products that will be suggested each time someone uses the search bar.
As you configure the layout of the product suggestion, you can adjust their priority within the settings by clicking and dragging them to modify. These product suggestions are prioritized in a top-down approach.
Suggested Collections
Configure collection suggestions that shoppers will encounter before they start typing. The default setting is trending collections, which showcases collections that are currently popular. Additionally, you have the option to display custom collections, or you can combine both options for a tailored browsing experience.
Trending Collections: These are collections that have been trending within the past 24 hours, indicating their popularity and relevance to recent shopper interests.
Custom (Add New): This option enables you to include custom collections that will be suggested each time someone utilizes the search bar.
As you configure the layout of the collection suggestions, you can adjust their priority within the settings by clicking and dragging them to modify. These collection suggestions are prioritized in a top-down approach.
