Transfer to Storefront
After you have successfully created your Recommendation, we will now show you how to place it within the storefront and present it to your customers. Recommendations can be added to the product and cart page within the storefront. For this purpose, four widgets are available which can be placed through the Shopify Theme Editor:
- Pop-up (Product page)
- Pop-up (Cart page)
- Frequently Bought Together (Product page)
- Recommendation Slider (Cart Page)
Pop-up (Product page)
Activate and setup the pop-up
To activate the pop-up for the product page, you do not have to select the product template in the Theme Editor as you do for Bundles, for example. With Shopify's app embeds, you can activate and set the pop-up higher-level within the Theme Editor. This activates the pop-up globally for all product pages.
1. Open the app embeds
Open the app embeds within the Theme Editor.
2. Activate the pop-up
Click the toggle button to activate the pop-up.
3. Widget settings
Here you can fill the pop-up with data or products. To activate the corresponding product Recommendations in the pop-up, you must first always activate the Show Recommendations checkbox. Now you can use the three checkboxes Show General, Show Accessories and Show Frequently Bought Together to determine which Recommendations for the main product should be displayed in the pop-up. We have already assigned them in the previous chapter. In this case we want to show accessories for the camera. Since the pop-up can display Upgrades in addition to the Recommendations, there is also an option Show Upgrades at the top, but this is explained in another chapter (Upgrades). Additionally, products and Recommendations can be displayed in two different layouts: List and Grid.

Now you have successfully added the pop-up to the storefront. Now it is ready to be presented to your customers. To see the result open the corresponding product page in the storefront. Now the pop-up with the corresponding Recommendations will be displayed when you click the Add-To-Cart Button. Customers can additionally add the Recommendations within the pop-up and will be redirected to the shopping cart page.
Congratulations you have successfully added your first Recommendations via the pop-up widget to the product page.
Pop-up (Cart page)
Activate and setup the pop-up
To activate the pop-up for the cart page, you do not have to select the cart template in the Theme Editor as you do for Bundles, for example. With Shopify's app embeds, you can activate and set the pop-up higher-level within the Theme Editor. This activates the pop-up globally for the cart page. Thus, the setting is similar to the pop-up on the Product Page, but this time for the Cart Page.
1. Open the app embeds
Open the app embeds within the Theme Editor.
2. Activate the pop-up

Now you can use the three checkboxes Show General, Show Accessories and Show Frequently Bought Together to determine which Recommendations for the main product should be displayed in the pop-up. We have already assigned them in the previous chapter. In this case we want to show Recommendations tagged by accessories and frequently bought together for the camera. Additionally, products and Recommendations can be displayed in two different layouts: List and Grid.

Now you have successfully added the pop-up to the storefront. Now it is ready to be presented to your customers. To see the result open the cart page in the storefront. Now, when the corresponding main product is inside the shopping cart and you click on the Checkout Button to go to the checkout process, the pop-up opens and displays the corresponding Recommendations. If multiple Recommendations have been created for different main products, they will all be listed within the pop-up.
Congratulations you have successfully added your first Recommendations via the pop-up widget to the cart page.
