The Recommendations Module allows you to showcase suggested products when a customer's cart is empty. This is a valuable opportunity to re-engage shoppers and guide them toward key collections or bestsellers. You can access this feature by going to Cart Editor > Recommendations in your UpCart dashboard.

The module includes several optional elements you can enable to tailor the customer experience and drive more engagement.

This sets the main heading or intro message that appears above the recommendations area. You can use this to encourage customers to browse your store. For example, a message like “Your cart is empty, check out these top picks” can prompt them to continue shopping.

When toggled on, this adds a prominent call-to-action button beneath the header text. It offers customers a quick link to start browsing products. Use this if you want to actively guide users toward a specific section of your store.

This field controls the label shown on the ‘Shop Now’ button. You might use phrases like “Start Shopping” or “View All Products” depending on your store’s tone.

Here you define where the button leads. Most stores link this to a collection page, such as /collections or /collections/bestsellers. Use a full relative path so the button routes correctly.

This sets the title that appears just above the list of recommended products. Common choices include “You may also like” or “Recommended for you.”

Unlike the Upsells module, these manual picks are always visible and don’t depend on trigger products. They will appear any time the cart is empty.

Use this to limit how many products appear. If you select five products but set the display limit to three, only the first three will be shown. This helps you keep the layout focused and clean.

Choose how your recommended products are laid out:

Select the layout that best fits your brand’s design and the space available in your cart drawer.
