You can target your content using custom types provided by e-commerce plugins after your developer has set one up. For example, you can:

  • Display an announcement bar with a coupon code when customers have a specific item in their cart.
  • Set up calls-to-action that display when viewing products from certain collections.
  • Make recommendations based on the item your customer is currently viewing.

You can start by selecting Targeting from Visual Editor's top toolbar.

In the Targeting window, select +TARGET to add a new target.

Select the drop-down box next to WHERE to add a new targeting condition.

Notice that in addition to the default Device and Url path, the e-commerce plugin also adds three new targeting condition types: Item in cart, Collection handle, and Product handle.

👉 Tip: The example below displays targeting condition types specific to the Shopify plugin. The types that you see may differ based on which plugin you use.

Let's select Item in cart for our example.

After selecting a condition type, you can select a resource to match your new targeting condition.

Selecting Choose product in the example below displays a searchable list of products from our connected Shopify store, where we can choose a product to target.

In this example, we select Short sleeve t-shirt from the example list below to target the product handle associated with the product.

Having set up the targeting condition, the content now appears whenever a Short sleeve t-shirt is in the user's cart.

Passing data to Builder for e-commerce targeting

for developers

After creating targeting conditions for your content, you must configure your site to pass the appropriate data to Builder.

Your targeting won't work until completing this step because Builder can't automatically infer when an e-commerce targeting condition—for instance, when a user has added a particular item to their cart—has been met.

This step involves your developer. See Setting up e-commerce targeting for more information.
