Product recommedations

A guide to display and customize the recommended products list on the current product page

A Product recommendations section displays an automatically-generated list of product recommendations. Displaying recommended products to customers makes it easier for them to discover new products, and can help to increase online store sales.

To learn more about the Recommendation logic and algorithm criteria, see Shopify Dev Docs.

How to customize product recommendations

Track recommendations

The url property for each product in the products response contains URL parameters that builds a conversion funnel that can be tracked by using reports in Shopify. Similarly, the Liquid url property returned for product recommendations contains this tracking information as well.

After you've implemented product recommendations section, you can track how effective they are directly from the Analytics page in your Shopify admin. To learn more about product recommendation reports, refer to Product recommendation conversion over time.

If you want to remove the param tracking in the recommended product URL, you can find a setting from Minimog version 5.0.0 and above (see our Changelog).

If your Minimog version is 4.1.0 and older, kindly contact our support team, we will help you remove the params 💃.
