### 🔗 Open related products in a new tab

**What this does**\
Controls how product links behave when customers click a recommended product.

**When enabled**

* Product opens in a new browser tab
* Original page stays open

**When disabled**

* Product opens in the same tab

#### Example

* Enable this to let customers compare products
* Disable this for a clean, mobile-friendly flow

**Best for:**

* Jewelry, fashion, or comparison-heavy stores

***

### 🖼 Product image ratio

What this does\
Defines the aspect ratio used for product images inside recommendation widgets.

**Format**

```
Width : Height
```

**Example**

```
400 : 500
```

This creates a portrait-style image, commonly used for fashion and jewelry.

#### Common ratios

* `1:1` → Square images
* `4:5` (400:500) → Fashion / jewelry
* `16:9` → Wide images (not recommended for products)

**Tip:**\
Use the same ratio as your product images to avoid cropping or empty space.

***

### 🧪 Example

In the example shown:

* Customer views a product page
* Related products appear below
* Clicking **Add to cart**:
  * Redirects to cart (enabled)
* Clicking a product image:
  * Opens in a new tab (enabled)
* Product images:
  * Display consistently using the `400:500` ratio

✅ Result: A smooth, predictable shopping experience
