# Shopify Product Recommendations API

The related or complementary products a store shows beside one product.

`GET /v1/shopify/products/{handle}/recommendations?store=…` returns `data.products` as product summaries, plus `intent` set to `related` or `complementary`. Pass `intent=complementary` for cross-sell suggestions, or omit it for related items.

The list can be empty when the store has no recommendation configured for that product. A missing product handle returns `not_found` with an empty list.

## FAQ

### What is the difference between related and complementary?

Related products are alternatives or items from the same category. Complementary products are add-ons the store suggests with the product.

### Can the list be empty?

Yes. A store may have no recommendation for that product. The answer is still found.

### Do I get full product detail?

No. The list returns product summaries. Call the product route for variants, media and stock detail.

### How do I name the store?

The store is the domain, for example allbirds.com, www.allbirds.com or weareallbirds.myshopify.com. A full URL is reduced to its host.

### How is it billed?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.

### What does lookupStatus mean?

found means the lookup succeeded. not_found means the store or entity does not exist or is not a Shopify store. private means the storefront is password-protected. restricted means it is paused or frozen. HTTP 200 only means the request finished, so branch on lookupStatus.
