With a configurable product, you might not want to recommend its variants. For example, if your store treats sizes and colours as variants, these might result in poor product recommendations. Instead, it’s more effective to recommend the configurable parent. To do this, our ecommerce connectors use the parent ID of your variants to identify the configurable parent for your recommendations.

To use this functionality, make sure you update to the latest version of our connectors.
