1. Create CMS Block
Before we move to the conditions you need to create new CMS block. All the conditions and display settings will be under the block Content once you install dynamic blocks and pages.
2. Set Conditions
If you display content blocks using widgets, you can define what page and place on the page to display a block on. However, you can't choose to display a block only if a product is new, or if a person browsing products or categories has already added something to the cart.
That's what dynamic block conditions cover.
Based on product attributes
If you want to display CMS blocks only on on-sale products, items with certain size, colours, etc., you can do that with the product attributes. Simply specify an attribute or a combination of them to narrow down pages dynamic block should be displayed on.
e.g. You can display a personal discount offer only on items from certain categories or only new products. Additionally, you can display this banner with different discount amounts for different customer groups.
Based on cart attributes
With the cart attributes you can choose what state of the cart should define the display of a block. Especially if you display CMS blocks on a shopping cart.
e.g. You can display the free shipping offer only to one country and only for orders less than $200. The rest of the customers won't see it.
3. Fill out Display Settings
The dynamic blocks display settings cover how, when and to whom your block will be displayed. Besides, here you can define what blocks to display instead of the current once in case it's aimed only at certain customer groups.
Display mode and device
Since it's important to maintain a high loading speed on your store, pay attention to these settings. You can choose the Display Mode to lazy load CMS blocks and display them only on certain Devices.
Customer groups
Personalization is key to better conversions. That's why you need to target different customer groups with different blocks. Choose who to display dynamic blocks to in the Visible For Customer Groups section.
Date
You can't enable and disable certain CMS blocks every time you have a new offer coming. Just specify the Date From/To, Days of the Week and Time From/To to define when your block should be enabled. The extension will do the rest automatically.
Display another block
Finally, if you create a CMS block for certain customer groups, and display it on a product page, what do other see? You can leave the block space emply, of you can display another block there.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to target more people. Display multiple Magento dynamic blocks in the same place, but let different customers see different messages.
Don't forget to Save your dynamic block and test it on the fronted under different conditions.
The better the offer the more likely people are to convert. However, personalization makes it even more likely to happen.
Display Magento dynamic blocks under various conditions, but remember to enable dynamic CMS pages as well.
