{{ recommendations.products_count }} always 0 on product page

[twilson90]

Trying to implement a recommendations section for my store, I just can't get the recommendations object to populate with products.

Tried installing the 'Search & Discovery' app, I can see it auto generates 10 recommendations for each product in my store in the admin, but on the front-end I cannot get it to work.

Any ideas?

Hi @twilson90 ,

I think you can try using the code lowercase key work 

recommendations.products_count

Hope my solution works perfectly for you!

What I wrote was originally lowercase but Shopify community for some reason capitalizes post titles.

Can you share the source code so I can try it?

There's nothing besides what's in the title. On the product page I just put:

{{ recommendations.products_count }} 

And it's always 0, and the recommendations.products property is always empty.

This isn't a liquid issue, but something in my shopify setup that for some reason denies the usage of the recommendations object.

because this object isn’t populated when the section is initially rendered, so you need to use JavaScript to retrieve the populated section content through the section response of the Product Recommendations API.
