# Add-on widgets – Design
Add-on layouts help you show extra products (upsells) in different places, such as product pages, search results, collections, or the cart.\
This guide explains how to choose and design **Add-on** layouts.
### **💡** What are Add-on layouts?
Add-on layouts are recommendation widgets used to encourage customers to add more items before checkout.
Common use cases:
* “You may also like”
* “Add this item”
* Upsells on product, cart, or search pages
You can design each Add-on layout separately.
***
### 🛠️ Where to find the setting
Open the app > click **Settings** > **Design** > click on **Related** tab
You’ll see:
* Design settings on the left
* A live **Preview** on the right
Changes are shown instantly in the preview.
***
### 1) Choose where the Add-on appears
Click **More views** to choose the **Add-on** location.
Available **Add-on** views include:
* **Homepage Add on** – show Add-ons on the homepage
* **Search Add on** – show Add-ons on search result pages
* **Collection Add on** – show Add-ons on collection pages
* **Cart Add on** – show Add-ons inside the cart
* **Cart Inline Offer** – inline offers inside cart items
* **Thank you offers** – offers after checkout
* **Cart Recently viewed products** – based on browsing history
Each view has its own design settings.
***
### 2) Choose a layout (Template)
Select how Add-on products are displayed.
Available templates:
* **Carousel** – horizontal scrolling products (recommended)
* **Bundle** – products grouped together (great for upsells)
* **Table** – compact list view
* **List** – simple vertical list
* **Vertical** – stacked cards
* **Slider** – large sliding cards
**Tip:**\
Start with **Carousel** if you’re not sure, it works well in most cases.
***
### 3) Adjust general layout settings
#### Maximum width
* Controls how wide the Add-on widget is
* Example: `1170` fits most desktop layouts
#### Number of products
* Sets how many Add-on products are shown
* Example: `10` → show up to 10 products
#### Position
* Choose where the widget appears, such as:
* Use app block in theme editor
* Before / after HTML elements
***
### 4) Choose visible elements
You can turn elements on or off:
* Variant selector
* Sale label
* Price
* Add to cart button
Disable elements to keep the layout clean and simple.
***
### 5) Customize colors
Control the look of the Add-on widget:
* **Heading color**
* **Subheading color**
* **Product title color**
* **Price & old price color**
* **Sale label background**
* **Button text & background**
***
### 6) Preview your design
Use the **Preview panel** on the right:
* See changes instantly
* Test different templates and colors
* Make sure it fits your store’s design
***
### ✅ Best practices
* Use **Carousel** or **Bundle** for upsells
* Keep Add-on widgets simple and visible
* Match colors with your theme
* Limit product count to avoid clutter

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-related-products/design-and-appearance/add-on-widgets-design.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
