# Manual Recommendations
Manual Recommendations let you fully control which products are shown together.\
Instead of automatic rules, you manually define relationships between products, collections, product types, or tags.
This is best when you want exact, curated recommendations.
***
### ℹ️ When should I use Manual Recommendations?
Use **Manual Recommendations** when you want to:
* Recommend specific products together (e.g. accessories)
* Create custom bundles or upsells
* Override automatic or Shopify recommendations
* Control recommendations for important products
***
### ⚙️ How Manual Recommendations work
Manual Recommendations let you **decide exactly which products appear together**, instead of letting the app choose automatically.
1. You choose **Manual Recommendations** in the widget
2. You select a **recommendation condition**:
* **Product**
* **Collection**
* **Product Type**
* **Tag**
3. You manually assign which items should be recommended
4. The widget shows only the relationships you defined.
In this example, we are using **Manual Product** recommendations.
#### What is configured
* **Main product:**\
Ally Ring
* **Recommended products:**
* Ally Ring
* Anatole Ring
* April Ring
* Beautiful Black Yellow White Diamond White Gold 18K Ring For Her
#### How this works on your store
* When a customer visits the **Ally Ring** product page
* The widget will show only the products listed in **Related Products**
* No other products will appear, even if:
* They are in the same collection
* They share the same tag
* They are from the same vendor
✅ The recommendations are 100% controlled by you
