Customize Related Product Recommendations

Store Design
1

Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I am trying to set up the related products section. I would like the products shown to relate either by metafields or product tags so that only relevant products are shown. I tried to follow this page - https://www.shopify.in/partners/blog/related-products - but I don’t seem to get it. Hoping someone can guide me in the right direction. Store - www.ArtBrown.com


{%- style -%}
  .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
    padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
    .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
      padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
      padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
    }
  }
{%- endstyle -%}

        if (!entries[0].isIntersecting) return;
        observer.unobserve(this);

        fetch(this.dataset.url)
          .then(response => response.text())
          .then(text => {
            const html = document.createElement('div');
            html.innerHTML = text;
            const recommendations = html.querySelector('product-recommendations');

            if (recommendations && recommendations.innerHTML.trim().length) {

. This current code was preset with the theme. What adjustments do I need to make?

Hey there - Shopify actually just invested in Crossing Minds, which is a smart AI recommender that can do this kind of related product customization (and all the future customization you’ll need). Could save you a bunch of headaches :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you! I will look into this.
