Offer-based Strategies

A product has an "offer" if it has an attribute (and optional value for that attribute) specified in the  catalog feed . Exactly which attributes are used to determine offers is controlled by the site configuration 'best offer attributes'. In order to leverage these strategies, the site configuration must be populated, and merchant's catalog feed must include corresponding attributes that tells Omnichannel Personalization that a product has an offer. The presence of both the site configuration and products containing offer attributes will cause offer models to be built for the site to feed offer-based strategies.

The site configuration "best offer attributes" is specified as a comma separated list of attributes. If the value of a given attribute should be examined to determine the presence of an offer, that value is specified with a colon. For example, "on_sale, clearance_price:true". Multiple values for a single attribute are not supported.
