# Grid recommendations

## Overview

A dynamic product recommendations block that displays recommended products in a grid layout. This block uses Alpine.js to asynchronously load product recommendations from Shopify's recommendation engine based on a source product.

## Block limitations

This is a private block. It is intended for use only within specific parent blocks and should not be added directly to sections.

## Common use cases

* Set a source product in block settings before adding to ensure relevant recommendations
* Adjust item count (default: 5) based on your grid layout and available space
* Use tag filtering when you want to show only products from specific collections or categories
* Enable "show products in cart" for cross-sell scenarios, disable for upsell to avoid redundancy
* Configure the nested product card blocks to match your theme's design system
* Consider using responsive visibility options to show different recommendation counts on mobile vs desktop
* The block works best when placed on product pages, cart pages, or thank you pages

## Compatible blocks

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/content/blocks/all-pagination/products/grid-product-recommendations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
