How to create a recommendation slider

Overview

Creating a recommendation slider is a great way to increase your average order value by encouraging customers to buy related products together.

Example of a recommendation slider:
– Frequently bought together: Product X and Product Y suggested by AI based on customer behavior.

Recommendation features are designed to enhance the shopping experience by suggesting products that customers are likely to purchase based on their browsing and purchasing behavior. These recommendations help increase engagement, average order value, and overall sales.
