About
Cart-Based Product Recommendations present add-ons within the Bolt Checkout Modal by leveraging the relationships set up in your platform’s product catalog. Shoppers can select and add these up-sells to their cart.
Cart-Based Product Recommendations may surface more relevant products to your shoppers than Bolt’s Static Product Recommendations feature.
INFO
Please note that recommendations featuring variant selections such as size, color, and other attributes are not currently supported.

Set Up for Platforms
-
Ensure your ecommerce platform’s product catalog contains related products where relevant.
-
Reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Bolt’s Support Team to turn on the “Include Platform Product Recommendations in Add-Ons” feature flag for your division.
-
After the appropriate feature flags have been flipped on, Bolt will retrieve and display your recommended products at checkout.
Set Up for Custom Cart
Implement the cart.addons event handlers within your codebase. This will return the specific add-ons you would like to display within the Bolt modal.
You can find more information in the cart.addons endpoint of our Merchant Callback API.
