Adaptive Carousels

Adaptive Carousels reorder product or content carousels on your site so that each visitor sees the most relevant items first, based on their affinities, predictions, and real-time behavior.

Overview

The Adaptive Carousels page lets you create and manage carousel personalizations. Instead of displaying a static product order for every visitor, an adaptive carousel dynamically re-sorts items to match each individual's preferences.

The page has two tabs:

  • Ongoing Adaptive Carousels — Carousel configurations currently live on your site.

  • Archived Adaptive Carousels — Previously active configurations stored for reference.

You can filter by Device Type, Operating System, and Channel.

Adaptive Carousels work with your existing carousel components: they change only the item order, not the visual design. No front-end code changes are required.
