Product recommendations section
The Product Recommendations section helps increase product discovery and conversions by showcasing either Related Products or Recently Viewed Products (or both) in a tabbed or standalone layout. This section is highly customizable in terms of layout, typography, and padding, and is responsive across desktop and mobile devices.
It supports two content blocks:
Related products - This block automatically displays products that are related to the currently viewed product, based on Shopify’s product recommendation algorithm.
Recently viewed products - This block tracks and displays products the current visitor has previously viewed during their session.
These blocks can be displayed in tabs (if enabled) or as separate sections.
