About
Static Product Recommendations enable merchants to suggest specific items to their shoppers either during checkout or when customers view an order tracking page. This can be set up through the Bolt Merchant Dashboard.
Increase average order value by offering shoppers additional products. This is a quick way to get started with upselling as part of the checkout experience. You’ll select up to 3 products from your catalog that will display as add-ons to all customers checking out.
Some examples of products that work well as Add-Ons:
- Product samples
- Popular accessories
- Trending items
INFO
Static recommendations are not inventory-aware and must be manually renewed if sold out. Likewise, they are also not price-aware and must be updated when your pricing structures change.
Cart-Based Product Recommendations may surface more relevant products to your shoppers than Bolt’s Static Product Recommendations feature.
