## How statistics are calculated

User flow

When user clicks a product which is not included in the recommended items, the click is not counted in the statistics.
Additional value from recommendation engine, to show recommendation block, a reco call is sent.
When user clicks recommendation (recommended item), two events are sent:

- user's click
- user clicked recommended item.

If user adds clicked recommended item to cart and buys it within 60 minutes, this item goes to purchased recommended statistics section. If item was worth 10 Euro, the statistic increases both by +1 and +10 Euro.

Conversion rate is calculted based on the numberl of recommendation calls, a one reco call when the page is rendered, the number of reco calls from all users, divided into clicked recommendations ("click recommended event). Common statistics based on clicks.

You can select a timeframe for the diagrams from a list of presets, or define a custom date range.
