How to show smart product recommendations on your product pages, in the cart and on the home page with SmartSuggest: which blocks there are, where they show, how the products are picked and how to make them look like your store.
Every night the app compares all your products - names, descriptions, categories and prices - and looks at what your customers bought together. For each product it keeps the best matches. In stores with product descriptions it also uses AI to understand what a product is, so a "linen shirt" can match "summer trousers" even when they share no words.
On your store, each block asks for its ready list and loads the products after the page itself, so your pages open as fast as before. Products that are out of stock or switched off are skipped, and the next best match takes their place.
Right after you install the app, the first analysis of your products and orders starts by itself. A blue note at the top of the app says so, and disappears when the lists are ready - for most stores within a few minutes, longer for very big catalogs. You can close the page meanwhile. A new install starts with the Product page and Cart page blocks switched on.
The Recommendations tab lists the four blocks. Each has its own switch:
Click a block to open its settings:
The Preview on the right shows the block with your own products, as a product page, cart, home page or recently viewed list, on Desktop or Phone.
The Design tab is shared by every block. Fonts and text colors come from your store; you choose the rest:
Under Settings, What to recommend sets the order of the picks:
These apply with the next nightly analysis. To apply them within minutes, click Analyse now under Your product analysis. That box also shows the last run, how many products and orders were looked at, and whether AI matching is on or the app matched by words only.
Click Save at the top. The badge next to it shows how many blocks are live, and Disable / Enable turns all recommendations off or on at once. The Insights tab counts clicks on recommended products and "Add to cart" on their cards, per block and per day, for the last 30 days. Orders themselves are not tracked.
Keep the Product page block on with the Grid layout, 4 products, 4 per row on desktop and 2 on phones, placed Below the product details.
Switch on the Cart page block as a List with 3 products, below the cart items. Switch on Skip products already in the cart so shoppers don't see what they already have.
Switch on Home page as a Carousel with 8 products, above the footer. Returning shoppers see products that go with what they looked at; first-time visitors see your bestsellers.
Switch on Recently viewed and under Show on pick product pages and category pages. The Minimal card style keeps it small next to the main recommendations.
For stores where price matters most (furniture, jewelry), set Put first to Products at a similar price and click Analyse now.
From your catalog (names, descriptions, categories, prices) and what your customers bought together, worked out every night. In stores with descriptions, AI also matches products by what they are, not only by shared words.
No. The heavy work happens at night, and the products load after the page itself.
No. Out-of-stock and disabled products are skipped, and the next best match takes their place.
The order is worked out in the nightly analysis. Click Analyse now under Settings to apply it within minutes.
Yes. Settings has a Custom CSS field. Each block has its own class (.InApp_rec--product, --cart, --home, --recent) and every card is .InApp_rec-card.
