How do I set up Recommended for you, setting by setting?

Every setting on the Recommended for you page, its default, and what it changes for your customer.

Written by Joseph Odera

This is the full reference for the Recommended for you page in Tacey. Every default below is what a new store starts with, so if you only set the one required field, this is how the tool behaves.

How to open the page

  1. In Tacey, open Editing Tools.

  2. On the Thank you page card, click Set up tools.

  3. Click Set up next to Recommended for you.

  4. Change what you need, then click Save.

If no rule matches, show this

Not set, required

What the customer sees when no rule applies, or when Shopify has no recommendation. Until you pick one, the tool stays on Needs setup and customers see nothing.

These rules override the default for a particular order. They are checked in this order, and the first one that matches wins.

Digits only. A percentage must be above 0 and below 100. A fixed amount must be less than the item's price.

Shipping

Setting

Default

What it does

Shipping on recommended items

Absorb the cost (free to the customer)

Absorb adds no extra shipping. Charge a flat amount adds the amount below each time a recommended item is added.

Shipping charge amount

Empty

The flat amount. Required when shipping is set to Charge.

Warnings you may see on this page

Tacey tells you when a setting is on but cannot do anything. For example:

  • "Charge is selected but there is no valid amount, so no shipping is charged."

  • "The discount is on but has no amount, so no discount is given."

  • "Order-total rule 2 will never apply: rule 1 above it already covers every order total it covers."

  • "You have no rules yet, so every customer is recommended your default product."

Fix the setting it names and the warning goes away after you save.

What this does NOT do

  • It has no setting to recommend products outside a customer's market. A product not published to the order's market is never shown, whatever you pick.
