Define the recommendation job
Start with the customer decision you want to make easier. A useful recommendation should fit the page, the available products and the commercial purpose without pretending to know personal intent.
- Open Product recommendations.Choose the supported recommendation type or starting route that matches the task.
- Name the customer moment.Decide whether the experience should support discovery, comparison, completion or another clear need.
- Review eligible products.Check availability, exclusions, product information and any commercial constraint shown in your setup.
- Review the reasoning.Make sure the product relationship is understandable and useful for the chosen context.
- Choose a safe fallback.Keep the experience useful when the preferred products or evidence are unavailable.
- Connect a placement.Preview the recommendation on the intended Shopify surface before publication.
Review before you make it visible
- The products are available and appropriate for the page.
- The title and explanation match what a shopper will actually see.
- The recommendation does not imply a benefit your evidence cannot support.
- The fallback, mobile layout and product links have been checked.
- The result will be read with an explicit attribution boundary.
