Dynamic Faceting
Google Cloud's Retail API dynamic faceting returns smart filters that learn from shopper behavior.
For a large store with thousands of items:
- Dynamic faceting learns from shopper clicks, searches, category views, and filter selections.
- Instead of listing every attribute for every item, Google Cloud returns the most relevant facet options for the current query or collection page.
- Dynamic facets work best when the storefront sends accurate search, browse, category, and filter interaction data.
Retail Cloud Connect collects this data and helps merchants return AI-powered dynamic facets on the storefront.
