Recommended products not showing (or showing irrelevant items)

Product recommendations are typically generated from shopping behavior and/or product relationships. If they're empty or weird, it's usually because there's not enough signal yet.

Why recommendations may be empty

• New store with limited traffic/order history
• Too few products in the catalogue
• Most products are out of stock or unavailable to Online Store
• The section is disabled on the template you're viewing

Why recommendations can feel irrelevant

• Product types/tags are inconsistent
• The catalogue has lots of similar "generic" titles
• Items are grouped in ways that don't match how customers shop

How to improve recommendation quality

• Standardise product type and vendor fields
• Ensure key collections and product relationships are clean
• Keep inventory availability accurate

Merchant-friendly fallback

If your store is new, use a curated section until recommendations improve:

• "Customers also like"
• "Complete the look"
• "Popular right now" (manually curated)
