What are AI Recommendation Frames?
AI Recommendation Frames are dynamic product blocks displayed on store pages that show customers tailored products based on user behavior, store data, and AI logic.
Their purpose is to support the shopping process, guide customers toward higher conversion rates, and increase the average order value.
Why are Recommendation Frames important in e-commerce?
Today’s customers expect personalized shopping experiences. AI Recommendation Frames are now considered the standard in e-commerce because:
✔ they boost conversion rate-suggesting products customers are more likely to buy,
✔ they increase AOV (average order value)-customers are more likely to add recommended products to their cart,
✔ they monetize existing traffic-instead of increasing marketing budgets, the store earns more from the visitors it already has,
✔ they support personalized shopping-the customer sees content tailored to their needs and behavior.

How do I add AI Recommendation Frames to my store?
You'll create a recommendation frame step by step, with no coding required - and you'll see the result live in the preview on the left side of the screen.
1. Choose where the frame will be displayed.
First, you decide where the frame will appear in your store. Keep in mind that the layout on desktop and on mobile often looks different, which is why you set the location separately for each device - this way the customer sees the recommendations exactly where it makes sense.
Click the large yellow "Add AI recommendation frame" button.
After clicking it, a page will appear that lets you quickly position your recommendation frame - separately for the desktop and mobile versions.
Next, clicking the "Choose location" button will open a new page where you'll position the frame on any page of your store using a pointer that highlights the available spots for placing the feature.
In the preview of your store page you can "walk around" it to place the frame, for example on a product page.
Once you've indicated the location, the status will change to "Configured". Remember - setting up the mobile version additionally helps increase conversion among customers browsing your store on their phones:
2. Choose which products will be displayed.
Next, you define the product source for the frame by selecting one of the available categories (including Smart Recommendations, Bestsellers, New Arrivals, Manual selection, Promotions, or Recently viewed).
If you add the frame on a product page, an option will appear allowing you to choose whether it should be displayed on every product page or only on that specific page.
Importantly - you can manually pin selected products to the front of the frame so that they always appear in the first positions, regardless of how the algorithm works. This is a great way to promote specific items, new arrivals, or products included in a current promotion. 📌
This option is not available for the "Manual selection" and "Recently viewed" product sources.
3. Adjust the frame's appearance to match your store.
Finally, you have full freedom to personalize the frame thanks to extensive settings divided into sections, which you'll find under the "Edit appearance" button in the top right corner:
Frame header – you'll set the text, its alignment, size, and color.
General settings – you'll choose the frame's background color and adjust the spacing: the distance between products, the inner padding, and the corner rounding.
Product card – you'll change the background color of an individual card, its corner rounding, and the inner spacing.
Product image – you'll set the image height, how it fits (Fit or Fill), the background color, and the image's corner rounding.
Product title – you'll adjust the typography of the product name: font size and weight, text color, and the maximum number of lines (from 1 to 4) the title can span.
Price – you'll set the price typography (font size, weight, and color), and separately the appearance of the old price, so that promotional discounts are clearly visible.
Button – you'll give it custom text (or leave the automatic one), as well as adjust the typography (font size and weight), the text and background colors, and the border (rounding and thickness).
Remember that you adjust the frame's appearance separately for the desktop version and separately for the mobile version - changes made in one view do not carry over automatically to the other. That's why, after adjusting the frame on desktop, switch the preview to the mobile view and fine-tune its appearance there as well, so that it looks the way you want on both devices.
All changes are visible immediately in the preview, which you can switch between the desktop and mobile views. Once the frame is ready, simply click "Publish" to launch it in your store. 🚀
Reports for AI Recommendation Frames
You can analyze AI Recommendation Frames on an ongoing basis in dedicated reports for each frame.
In it you'll find four key metrics that show how the frames actually work to drive your sales:
Recommendation frame views – how many times the recommendation frame was displayed in the user's view.
Product views – how many times a product from the recommendation frame was displayed.
Orders – the number of orders containing products from this recommendation frame.
Assisted revenue – the total revenue from orders that include products from the recommendation frame.
How much do AI Recommendation Frames cost and how is billing calculated?
You're billed for AI Recommendation Frames based on their impressions - you only pay when your customers actually see the recommendations. To get started, you get a free trial period, and you keep all costs under control in the panel.
🎁 30 days free to start
By publishing your first frame, you activate a free, 30-day trial period - during which you pay nothing (when activating, you'll see an amount of PLN 0.00 due today).
Before the first payment occurs, we'll remind you that the trial is about to end.
Even before you confirm, you'll see the date of the first payment as well as the estimated maximum charge for that single frame - if there are fewer impressions, you'll pay less.
💳 How the fee is calculated
You pay for the number of frame impressions, at a per-impression rate.
Impressions are counted hourly.
One subscription covers all frames on your account - you don't pay separately for each one.
The PLN 0.00 amount shown at activation applies only to "today" and does not mean the service is free in subsequent periods.
📊 Where to check your costs
On the "Payments and usage" page (and in the frame list) you can see at any time: the service status (Inactive / Trial period / Active), the current billing period, the number of impressions, the current cost, and the per-impression rate.
🔄 Cancellation - two different scenarios
Ending the trial period → the frames turn off immediately.
Cancelling a paid subscription → the frames keep working until the end of the paid billing period (with no charge for the next period), and the status changes to "Active until the end of the billing period." After that date, the frames will turn off.
In both cases you can come back later - republishing a frame requires activating a paid subscription (a second free trial is no longer available).
