Adobe Target Order Confirmation using WebSDK and influence Recommendations for "Bought this, bought that"

I’m trying to track conversions on a website using WebSDK, so that we can feed purchase behavior into the recommendation algorithms for “..bought this, bought that”, etc. I was reviewing the implementation guide here https://docs.mktossl.com/docs/target-dev/developer/recommendations.html?lang=en, specifically the Track conversion page here https://docs.mktossl.com/docs/target-dev/developer/client-side/at-js-implementation/deploy-at-js/implement-target-without-a-tag-manager.html?lang=en#track-conversions, but the code referenced is for at.js and not WebSDK.
 
I also checked this page WebSDK comparision to at.js - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/edge/personalization/adobe-target/web-sdk-atjs-comparison.html?lang=en#using-web-sdk-4, but it’s not clear in this documentation how this would function in the context of order confirmation? E.g.

 

 

alloy("sendEvent", { data: { __adobe: { target: { orderTotal: 123.45, orderId: "ABC6789", productPurchasedId: "123,234,SLKF-123", }, }, }, decisionScopes: ["orderConfirmation"] })

 

 

 
Questions:
  1. Can I assume that if I have the above code fire on the order confirmation page, and send the above WebSDK send event with the three values (orderTotal, orderId, productPruchasedId) and include a decisionScope, is that enough for the recommendation algorithm for “bought this, bought that”, etc., to learn from?
  2. Do I need to configure any additional activities within Adobe Target for Target to take this information and apply it? i.e. create an activity. Note: I’m not asking about setting up a goal for an activity, I’m just inquiring about how to send transactional events to Adobe Target to inform the “bought” algorithms.

Thanks

Yes, you're correct that those purchase parameters are sufficient; in case you haven't already seen it, this document gives a good overview of how you should send those 3 values as part of the XDM object. There are certain Target parameters, particularly relating to Recommendations, that do need to be sent via the data.__adobe.target object but this isn't necessary for standard purchase parameters
