Choosing recommended products
This step decides which products appear inside your widget.
👉 If targeting answers “Where does the widget show?”, then recommendations answer “What products do customers see?”
✅ How product recommendations work
Each widget can recommend products in one main way:
Manual – you pick the products
Automatic – the app selects products based on rules
You can change this at any time.
🛠️ Step 1: Open recommendation settings
Go to the app > click Widgets
Open the widget you want to edit
Scroll to Choose Recommended Products.
⚙️ Option 1: Specific products (manual)
You manually choose exactly which products to show.
How it works
Select Specific products
Click Browse
Choose one or more products
Save.
✅ Best for:
High-priority products
Custom bundles
Marketing campaigns
Example For a camera product, manually select:
Camera bag
Tripod
Memory card
⚙️ Option 2: Specific product variants
Similar to manual products, but lets you recommend specific variants.
Best for:
Size or color-based upsells
Variant-specific recommendations
⚙️ Option 3: Manual Recommendations
Manual Recommendations let you decide exactly which products appear together, instead of letting the app choose automatically.
manually select target products
manually select recommended products
⚙️ Option 4: Automatic recommendations (rules-based)
Let the app choose products automatically using rules.
Same collection
Shows products from the same collection as the current product.
Best for:
Category-based recommendations
Example All products from the Silver collection.
Same tag
Shows products that share at least one tag.
Best for:
Seasonal or themed products
Example
Products tagged with winter.
Same vendor
Shows products from the same vendor/brand.
Best for:
Brand-focused stores
Same product type
Shows products with the same product type.
Best for:
Structured catalogs
Most relevant products (automated)
This option lets Tipo automatically choose products to recommend. You don’t need to select products manually.
The app decides what to show based on the current product and the recommendation intent you choose.
Best for:
Large catalogs
Hands-off setup
When a customer views a product:
Tipo looks at the current product
It finds other products that are most relevant
It shows them based on your selected recommendation intent
You only need to choose one intent.
🎯 Recommendation intents explained
1) Related products
Shows products that are similar to the current product.
Tipo uses product data such as:
Collection
Product type
Tags
Vendor
Best for:
“You may also like”
Browsing and discovery
Example Customer is viewing a blue shirt → Widget shows other shirts from the same collection.
2) Complementary products
Shows products that are usually bought together with the current product.
Tipo focuses on upsells and cross-sells.
Best for:
Accessories
Add-ons
Bundles
Example Customer is viewing a camera → Widget shows memory card, tripod, camera bag.
🛠️ Step 2: Set display order & random option
Display order
Display order controls the priority of widgets when multiple widgets appear in the same location (same page and position).
Widgets with a higher number are shown first
Widgets with a lower number are shown later
If there is only one widget, display order does not matter
Example
You have 2 widgets on the Product page, both showing below the product form.
Widget A
Name: Related products
Display order: 10
Widget B
Name: Frequently Bought Together
Display order: 5
✅ Result on the store
Related products (10) → shown first
Frequently Bought Together (5) → shown below
Random display (optional)
Randomizes product order each time the page loads
Best for:
Showing variety
Avoiding repetitive recommendations
⚠️ Important notes
Recommendation rules control what is shown, not where
If no products appear:
Check product availability
Check collection/tag rules
Sold-out products follow your Product display settings
👉 What’s next?
After choosing recommended products, you can:
Adjust Display order & priority
Customize Design & appearance
Set the widget Active
