Functions

When using Dynamic Texts it's often useful to wrap your variables in functions and format the output accordingly. Below is a list of currently supported functions and a few examples.

• Limit
• Price
• Number

LIMIT

This function is used to truncate texts into a maximum number of characters. If the maximum amount of allowed characters is reached a string is appended like '...'.

Syntax: @LIMIT(VARIABLE Limit Append)@

• VARIABLE: Variable to limit
• Limit: Number of allowed characters - Default of 50
• Append: Append to the end of truncated text - Default of ...

Dynamic Text	Output
@LIMIT($DESCRIPTION$ 11)@	Black Feedr...
@LIMIT($DESCRIPTION$ 20 ......)@	Black Feedr T-shirt
@LIMIT($DESCRIPTION$)@	Black Feedr T-shirt

PRICE

This function is used to format prices in a readable format instead of the lowest possible unit like cents, øre, etc. by dividing by 100.

Syntax: @PRICE(VARIABLE Decimals DecimalSeperator ThousandSeperator)@

• VARIABLE: Variable to format (in cents, øre, etc.)
• Decimals: Number of decimals - Defaults to 0
• DecimalSeperator: Decimal seperator - Default to , (comma)
• ThousandSeperator: Thousand seperator - Default to . (period)

Dynamic Text	Output
@PRICE($PRICE$)@	15
@PRICE($PRICE$ 2)@	15,00
@PRICE($PRICE$ 2 .)@	15.00
@PRICE(100000 2 . ,)@	1,000.00

NUMBER

This function is used to format a readable format much like @PRICE@ but without dividing by 100.

Syntax: @NUMBER(VARIABLE Decimals DecimalSeperator ThousandSeperator)@

• VARIABLE: Variable to format
• Decimals: Number of decimals - Defaults to 0
• DecimalSeperator: Decimal seperator - Default to , (comma)
• ThousandSeperator: Thousand seperator - Default to . (period)

Dynamic Text	Output
@NUMBER($PRICE$)@	1,500
@NUMBER($PRICE$ 2)@	1.500,00
@NUMBER($PRICE$ 2 .)@	1.500.00
@NUMBER(100000 2 . ,)@	1,000.00

Conditions

Conditions are a key part of Dynamic Texts. Conditions lets you show one text in one scenario and another text in a different scenario (e.g only show "on sale" if the product is on sale). This is possible using conditions - also referred to as statements. Statements are also functions by definition, but due to the wide range of possibilities, we've made a dedicated section to explore the topic in detail.

Let's start off with the syntax and explain each statement later.

Statement types	Explanation
@IF(CONDITION) CONTENT @ENDIF	This might be the most simple statement possible. This statement checks if the CONDITION in parenthesis is true. The CONTENT will only show if CONDITION is meet.
@IF(CONDITION) CONTENT *@ELSE ALTERNATIVE @ENDIF	If CONDITION is true the CONTENT will show otherwise the ALTERNATIVE will show.
@IF(CONDITION1 && CONDITION2) CONTENT @ENDIF	CONTENT will only show if both conditions are true
@IF(CONDITION1 || CONDITION2) CONTENT @ENDIF	CONTENT will show if either CONDITION1 or CONDITION2 is true
@IF(CONDITION1 || CONDITION2 && CONDITION3) CONTENT @ENDIF	CONTENT will show if CONDITION1 is true or if both CONDITION2 and CONDITION3 is true

Please note that all statements must be closed with @ENDIF@.

Operators

A CONDITION contains three parts. A VARIABLE, OPERATOR, and VALUE to check against. Below is a list of different supported operators.

Operator	Description	Example	Output
=	Check if the VARIABLE equals	@IF($BRAND$ = Feedr) Product from Feedr @ENDIF	Product from Feedr
<	Check if the VARIABLE is smaller than	@IF($PRICE$ < 10000) Costs less than $100 @ENDIF	Costs less than $100
>	Check if the VARIABLE is larger than	@IF($PRICE$ > 100) Costs more than $1 @ENDIF	Costs more than $1
STARTSWITH	Check if the VARIABLE starts with	@IF($TITLE$ STARTSWITH Black) It starts with Black @ENDIF	It starts with black
ENDSWITH	Check if the VARIABLE ends with	@IF($TITLE$ ENDSWITH T-shirt) It ends with T-shirt @ENDIF	It ends with T-shirt
CONTAINS	Check if the VARIABLE contains	@IF($TITLE$ CONTAINS T-shirt) This is a t-shirt @ENDIF	This is a t-shirt
NOCONTAINS	Check if the VARIABLE does not contain	@IF($TITLE$ NOCONTAINS Shoe) This is not a shoe @ENDIF	This is not a shoe

Examples

Now let's setup a few examples for each type of statement and see how it actually works.

Example	Output
@IF($PRICE$ > 1000) The product costs more than $10 @ENDIF	The product costs more than $10
@IF($ONSALE$ = false) The product is not on sale @ELSE The product is on sale @ENDIF	The product is on sale
@IF($ONSALE$ = true && $PRICE$ > 1000) The product is on sale and the shipping is free @ENDIF	The product is on sale and the shipping is free
@IF($ONSALE$ = true || $QUANTITY$ < 10) Buy it now before it's too late @ENDIF	Buy it now before it's too late
@IF($REGULARPRICE$ < 2000 || $ONSALE$ = true && $SALEPRICE$ < 2000) This product is one of our cheap ones @ENDIF	This product is one of our cheap ones
