Spring is in full swing, and at Code Black Belt, we’re focusing on clarity and control. This month, we’ve completely redesigned the core experience for our flagship recommendation apps. From a unified bird’s-eye view of your setup to interactive performance tracking, here is everything new this April.
A unified view: The redesigned Frequently Bought Together & Also Bought Dashboards
We’ve overhauled the Frequently Bought Together and Also Bought dashboards to make them more intuitive and informative. The new layout brings setup, recommendation logic, and performance data into a single, streamlined interface.
- Faster Setup Visibility: At the top of the dashboard, you can instantly see your App Status (enabled/disabled). Right below, the Overview section tracks algorithm progress, showing exactly how many orders have been processed and how many product relationships have been discovered.
- Bundle Strategy Made Clearer: In Frequently Bought Together, you can now review bundle configurations and active global discounts without leaving the main page.
- In Also Bought, the focus shifts to widget placement, confirming at a glance where your recommendations are live (product pages and cart page).
- Recommendation Sources: A new dedicated row shows the balance between manual, automatic, global, and random recommendations, including visibility into "Recently Viewed" products for Also Bought.
Highlights:
-
Review bundle or widget configurations in seconds.
-
Check recommendation sources from a single row.
-
Monitor global discounts and placement settings without extra clicks.
Performance at a Glance: Interactive Charts and Richer Data
Understanding your ROI is now easier than ever. The new dashboard features dynamic charts that adjust based on your store's data maturity, showing you the most relevant trend snapshot directly on the page.
The charts are now fully interactive: hover over any data point to see a tooltip with the exact date and value. This makes it simple to read peaks, spot movement, and understand how recommendations are driving your Average Order Value (AOV) and conversions over time.
Manual Bundles: Better Visibility and Faster Control
For merchants who prefer a hands-on strategy, the Manual Bundles section has been upgraded for speed. You can now see a clear count of how many manual bundles are active and how many use individual discounts.
The searchable list allows you to edit directly specific bundles from the dashboard, making it faster to refine offers for your priority products or tailored seasonal promotions.
Guidance and Support: "What’s New" and Integrated Help
We’ve integrated two practical support areas directly into the dashboard footer:
-
What’s New: Stay updated on feature releases, pro-tips, and important app news.
-
Help & Support: Get instant access to documentation or reach out to our team via AI assistance or technical support without leaving the app.
