# Product Recommendation Analytics

We’ve introduced new ways to track performance on your Product Recommendation campaigns — giving you more control and accuracy when measuring conversions.

### **💡 What’s New?**

You can now choose how Because tracks purchases for each Product Recommendation campaign. Whether you want precise attribution or a broader view of influence, we’ve got you covered.

***

### **🔍 Why This Matters**

Historically, analytics for Product Recommendation campaigns tracked **all purchases made after a campaign was viewed** — even if the shopper didn’t purchase the recommended product. This was especially helpful for A/B tests to measure engagement and general conversion lift.

Now, we’ve introduced a more **granular tracking option**:

* **Track Purchases of Recommended Product Only**

This gives you clearer insight into how often the product you’re recommending actually gets purchased.

### **⚙️ Analytics Options**

When setting up a Product Recommendation campaign, you’ll now see an **Analytics Option toggle** in the Editor. Here’s what each option means:

#### **1. Track Purchases of Recommended Product (Default for new campaigns)**

* Tracks only the orders that include the specific product you recommended.
* Shopper must add the item to their cart via the campaign and complete the purchase.
* Revenue tracked includes **only** the recommended product.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Best for:** Precise performance tracking of the product you’re promoting
{% endhint %}

***

#### **2. Track All Subsequent Purchases After Campaign View**

* Tracks **all** purchases made after the campaign is viewed — even if the recommended product isn’t purchased.
* Offers a broader attribution model.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Best for:** Looser attribution and general influence tracking.
{% endhint %}

***

### **🕒 Default Settings**

* **New campaigns** (created after **June 12, 2025**) will default to **Track Purchases of Recommended Product Only**.
* **Existing campaigns** (created before **June 12, 2025**) will continue using the original setting: **Track All Purchases After Campaign View**.
  * These cannot be changed to preserve consistency in attribution models.

***

### **✅ How to Update Analytics Settings**

1. Open the campaign in the **Editor**.
2. Scroll to the **Analytics Options** section.
3. Select the tracking method that best fits your campaign goals.
4. **Save and publish** your changes.
