Is there a way to customize product recommendations for specific products?

Store Design
1

I am running into an issue with product recommendations. My store has a custom product template for some non-standard products. And I have been able to adjust as needed either via the liquid code or theme template (Dawn) for how I’d like this product to work. But I have run into a roadblock with product recommendations. I’ve found a lot of documentation on how dynamic product recommendations work. However I am stuck on how to adjust them for just these products. Is there a way to specify a collection or tag to use instead of dynamic population? I have looked at product-recommendations.liquid and couldn’t figure out how to do this. I would like to try first trying via the theme template or liquid code before purchasing an app.

Thank you for the help!

Hey, @robyncraig . Happy to help.

We have some partner documentation that sheds some light on this. In particular, we have a guide here that covers how to build and customize a related products section. The particular paragraph you will want to look at is the “Creating a related products section based on grouping tags” which provides a way you can have manual control over which products appear as recommendations.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

@Dirk - thanks for the quick response. I added a “related-products-by-tag.liquid” and adjusted my product template to use that:

"product-recommendations": {
      "type": "related-products-by-tag",
      "settings": {
        "show_related_products": true,
        "related_title": "You may also like",
        "related_grid_num": "4",
        "related_grid_row": "1"
      }
    }

I was able to turn this on via the theme template however it’s just showing this now:
