The group_id is defined as a grouping of a particular product, in other words, a collection of variations of the same product.

Example: If you have a shirt in several colors - each color will have a unique SKU but all of them will have the same group_id.

There are two main purposes for the use of the group_id column:

1. The recommendation widgets should not display the same product, this is why it shows only one product from each group_id.
2. Social proof is meant to display the views/purchases of a product, it is logical to include all of the product's variations.

  This is really helpful, Majd.

  To confirm, any SKUs which share the same group_id will receive the same social proof performance number? It will be a sum of the performance for each SKU?

  Exactly @...
  Social proof aggregates the views and purchases of all the SKUs under the same groupID and you will see the same figure for these SKUs in the social proof

  What about, if I don't have several variations of a Product? groupID is a mandatory Field so we can't omit it. Shall I just duplicate the SKUs in the groupID-Field or what would you recommend? Cheers!

  Hi Tomasso, 

  group_id is a mandatory field in the product feed. If you don't have several variations of the same product in the product feed, you can duplicate the SKU in the group_id filed.

  Perfect Lee. Thanks for your reply. Do u have an Idea on this as well by any chance? https://support.dynamicyield.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4405144843281-How-does-DY-detect-Product-Views-
  We are getting started with Recommendation and I have to say, the documentation one can find about it is pretty poor. Have a nice one!
