At Constructor, we always strive to provide digital merchandisers with rich tools to curate shopping experience. With the new Ranged Slotting rule and advanced conditions, we introduce unparalleled flexibility to keep product listing pages organized and visually appealing, while still benefiting from Constructor's AI ranking.

Previously, slotting rules allowed to place items with a selected attribute into individual positions — up to 5 at a time. Now, you can define ranges of up to 250 positions per page, while Constructor ranks and personalizes results within those.

This enables powerful visual curation of product listing pages:

• Keep most attractive new arrivals always in the first two rows of a collection page
• Push out-of-stock items to the bottom of results
• Ensure each row presents a curated mix of product categories or colors

On top of ranges, we are also bringing advanced conditions to flexibly define items for slotting. You can now combine multiple attribute conditions with AND/OR logic, having precise control over which products should fill a range of positions — without manually picking items one by one.

Ranged Slotting works across Search, Browse, and Campaigns, so you can maintain a consistent page structure anywhere your shoppers discover products.

What's New

• Position ranges: Define ranges, such as positions 1–20, instead of individual positions, with up to 50 positions per one rule and 250 positions per page in total
• Advanced conditions: Use AND/OR filter expressions to precisely target item groups
• AI ranking within ranges: Constructor's algorithms use ranking score to select the most attractive, personalized items defined by attribute-based conditions
• Graceful partial fill: If there are fewer items that match conditions than positions in the range (e.g., 15 blue items for a 20-position range), the matching items fill from the top and the remaining positions are filled automatically based on Constructor's AI ranking

How to Get Started

We will gradually release the new rule over the coming weeks. Please, reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you would like to ger early access.
