Featured productsSelect a collection to populate the carousel.
Editorial product editBuild an editorial composition with explicit product selections.

Configure and test#

  1. Add the appropriate section to the relevant template.
  2. Connect the product, collection or recommendation configuration.
  3. Preview a real product, then another product that should have different recommendations.
  4. Check the empty state when no recommendation is returned.

Recommendation availability and ordering can depend on Shopify’s service and Search & Discovery configuration. An empty response is not a request to duplicate unrelated products or insert invented recommendations.
