The Algolia AI Search & Discovery app for Shopify includes an app block built with Algolia Recommend that you can add to your store’s pages to show product recommendations. Screenshot of a 'Looking Similar' section displaying five snowboard products with titles, prices, and 'Sale' badges.

Before you begin

Before you can show recommendations in your store, check that you’ve set up Recommend:

Enable Recommend

  1. To add the Algolia Recommend app block to your theme, open your theme editor, click Add section, go to the Apps tab, and select Algolia Recommend. Screenshot of a drop-down menu showing app options, with 'Algolia Recommend' listed under the 'Apps' tab.
  2. Select the Recommend model for the app block, complete the settings, save your changes. Screenshot of the 'Model Settings' section showing a drop-down menu labeled 'Related Products' with explanatory text below.
After the model training is complete and meets the criteria set for the app block, the recommendations app block is shown on your store’s page.

Available models

Only the Trending items model is available outside the product page. The other Recommend models require a variant ID.
