📖 In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up Hand-picked Boost AI Search & Discovery Recommendation widgets to enhance your storefront's appeal and functionality.
⚠️ This feature only works with Boost AI Search & Discovery V3 and above. To find out which version of our app you are using, please follow this article.
Understanding Hand-picked product recommendation
Manual settings help you pick or modify the recommended products in a recommendation widget.
It can be applied to this type of recommendation:
Hand-picked products: Manually select up to 15 recommended products and set up their orders in this widget.
Create hand-picked product recommendation
To create a hand-picked product widget in the app’s dashboard:
1. Go to Recommendation > Recommendation widgets.
2. Click Add new widget.

To pick the list of products included in the widget, click Search products in the Consequences section and repeat the same step.
⚠️
Each product can only have one rule (list of recommendations) applied at the time. When you can't find a product here, please check if it already has an existing rule.
There are a maximum of 15 recommended products for one main product.
Main products with the same Consequences should be added to the same rule group. For each widget, you can set up to 150 rule groups.
