# Slider recommendations

## Block limitations

This is a private block and can only be used within specific parent blocks. It is designed to work exclusively within the [Slider](/slab/content/blocks/layout/slider.md) block.

## Overview

A dynamic product recommendations block that displays recommended products in a horizontal slider layout with scroll snap behavior. This block uses Alpine.js to asynchronously load product recommendations from Shopify's recommendation engine based on a source product. Products are displayed as horizontally scrollable cards with configurable widths and support for filtering by tags, cart status, and responsive visibility options.

## Common use cases

* Set a source product in block settings before adding to ensure relevant recommendations
* Adjust item count (default: 5) based on your slider layout and desired scroll behavior
* Configure width\_mobile (default: 80vw) and width\_desktop (default: 40vw) to control how many items are visible at once
* 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
* The block works best when placed on product pages, cart pages, or thank you pages
* Best suited for contexts where horizontal scrolling is preferred over a static grid layout
