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

1. Go to the app > click Widgets

2. Open the widget you want to edit

3. Scroll to Choose Recommended Products.

---

⚙️ Option 1: Specific products (manual)

You manually choose exactly which products to show.

How it works

1. Select Specific products

2. Click Browse

3. Choose one or more products

4. 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:

1. Tipo looks at the current product

2. It finds other products that are most relevant

3. 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

1. Related products (10) → shown first

2. 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
