What are product recommendations?
What are product recommendations and how does it help you increase your average order?
Product recommendations are, in short, carousels with various products that are showcased to your customers. The products shown are based on AI technology and are intended to help customers quickly find relevant products. You choose which types of product widgets to display, as well as which rules should apply to each view.
Product recommendations help customers find relevant products, whether they're on the front page, category page, brand page, or error page (404), to name a few. This leads to an increased exposure of your product range, which in turn increases the chance of additional sales of relevant and other products. It also helps to keep customers in-store, which in turn increases sales.
The service is especially good for online stores with more than 100 products, but due to the possibility of having relevant products on the product page, in the shopping cart and the possibility to use product widgets in blogs, it will be a good option for online stores with fewer products.
Management

How to manage your product recommendations in Personalized Shopping
Before you can add your product recommendations to your online store, you need to decide on your setup in the Personalized Shopping dashboard. The product recommendations manage via widgets. A widget is a small module that displays the information you want, where you want it. To manage the various widgets, go to Product recommendations > Components in the Personalized Shopping dashboard.
By default, you have several different widgets available that can be used immediately. These allow you to easily display related products, your customer's most recently visited products, etc.
Tap the icon on the right side of the widget to see what the widget does. Here you can also give the widget a descriptive name.
NB! The widgets already have a smart layout, and unless you have specific changes you want to make, you won't need to make changes to achieve results

Which widgets are connected to the dashboard in your Mystore control panel?
It may seem somewhat complicated to know which widget in Personalized Shopping is linked to the Mystore dashboard, especially where it just says "Standard". However, if you look at the names, this is pretty self-explanatory.
