This guide describes how to set up the Related products section.
Use the section to display products related to the current product on a Product page. The section implements dynamic recommendations by using order and product information that can change and improve over time. Refer to Shopify help: Shopify Product Network recommendations.
The previous image shows an example store's Product page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Related products section menu is displayed. The menu's Maximum products to show option is set to 3. This option specifies the maximum number of related products to display in the section. For example, in the previous image, the "Other flavours" section displays 3 soda products that are related to the current soda product.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
