Show complementary products on Shopify product pages

“Pairs well with” recommendations on the product page, from the pairings you set in Shopify.

The problem

A shopper looking at a product often needs something with it — a case, a refill, a matching piece — and either leaves to find it or never thinks of it. Hard-coding those links per product doesn’t scale, and a recommendations app is one more subscription.

The solution

Cama has a complementary products block for the product page; Pops has a product recommendations block that shows complementary or related products. Both read Shopify’s recommendations, so pairings you set once in the Search & Discovery app appear on every page that needs them.

How it works

  1. Pair products in Search & Discovery

    In Shopify’s free Search & Discovery app, choose the complementary products for each product.

  2. Add the block to the product page

    In the theme editor, add the complementary products block (Cama) or the product recommendations block set to complementary (Pops).

  3. Set the number of products

    Choose how many products to show and the image ratio.

Questions merchants ask

  • Where do complementary products come from on Shopify?

    From the Search & Discovery app, where you pick them per product. Shopify only returns the complementary products you have set; related products, by contrast, are generated automatically.

  • Is an app required?

    Only Shopify’s free Search & Discovery app, to define the pairings. The display is part of the theme.
