Product Recommendations

Our theme comes with two collections on the product page.

  1. One is the ‘Frequently bought together’ collection. It’s also known as complementary products. You have total control over this collection and what products will go into this collection for each product.

  2. The other is the ‘Similar products’ collection. It’s also known as related products. You can control what products will go into this collection. And if you don’t manually set the products for this collection, Shopify automatically generates products in this collection to show in the product page.

Search & Discovery App

It’s an app created and maintained by Shopify.

  1. Go to https://apps.shopify.com/search-and-discovery and install the app.
