In the Recommendations tabs, there are some basic stats: Viewed: Number of times the item is being printed as a recommendation Also Purchased: Customers who purchased an item also purchased this item at some point. So if a customer buys a flashlight, and then later buys batteries, batteries and flashlights would be linked by this type of recommendation. Purchased Together: Items ordered at the same time. Similar to Amazon’s Purchased Together feature.
