Overview

Nosto is an alternative product recommendation engine used by over 2,500 merchants that can be used for your Automatic Upsells. AfterSell is able to connect to your Nosto and use their algorithm to get product recommendations.

We recommend visiting their site if you have any questions about the product recommendation algorithm they use!

Setting Up the Integration

If you're interested, you'll need to follow the steps below to get setup with Nosto through AfterSell.

We also have a video below that will go over the steps, which is great for visual learners!

Step 1: Install Nosto

Visit Nosto's store page on the Shopify App Store and install the app.

Step 2: Get An API Token

After installing the app, go to the "Settings" section of the app, and then click on "Authentication Tokens"

If you're not seeing any API tokens, you'll need to contact Nosto Support to get one before continuing!

Once you have an API token, you'll want to click the blue "Decrypt" button.

This should show you a window with the API key. Keep this private!

Make sure to click "Copy to Clipboard" to copy the API key.

Step 3: Give AfterSell the API Token

Now that you have the API key, go back to AfterSell and go to the "Settings" tab on the left side, in the app's navigation section.

Then go to the Automatic Upsells section!

Then make sure you have "Nosto" selected as your Product recommendations app and that you've pasted the API token from earlier in the Nosto API key field.

Nosto is now connected, so we'll now need to set up some Automatic Upsells that it can use!

Step 4: Setup Automatic Upsells

Head over to the funnel editor and create an Automatic Upsell.

You can either create a single Automatic Upsell, or multiple! It doesn't matter how many you make.

Step 5: Test the Integration

If you just installed Nosto, we recommend waiting a few hours to ensure Nosto's product recommendation algorithm has time to live on your store. Otherwise it may not have a recommendation for your customers yet.

If you're ready to test it out, then make sure the funnel with your Automatic Upsells is active. Once active, place an order on your store that meets the funnel's trigger requirements. This will allow you to test if product recommendations are coming through or not!
