Post-purchase Recommendations

The moment right after a purchase is one of the highest-intent moments a store gets: the customer is engaged, trusts you, and just told you exactly what they like. Post-purchase recommendations put a recipe-ranked “Complete Your Order” row on the Thank you page (order confirmation) and the Order status page, seeded by the items in the order.

How it works

When a customer lands on the Thank you or Order status page, Dynasort looks at what they just bought and serves recommendations that pair with those items, ranked by the recipe you’ve bound to the placement. Items from the order itself are never recommended back.

These pages are rendered by Shopify’s checkout system, not your theme, so the cards automatically follow your checkout’s typography and styling. The row shows each product’s image, title, and price, with an optional sale badge, and clicks go to the product page.

Note

Because checkout renders these cards, theme-style options such as swatches and quick add-to-cart don’t apply here. The app only shows you the settings that actually work on this surface.

Setup

1. Bind a recipe on the Recommendations page: the Post-purchase placement works like any other, pick a recommendation recipe and enable it. Cart-oriented recipes tend to fit this placement well.

2. Add the block to your Thank you page: in Shopify admin, go to Settings → Checkout → Customize, switch the page picker to Thank you, and add the Dynasort Recommendations app block.

3. Add it to the Order status page the same way, via the customer accounts editor, so customers returning to check their order see it too.

Settings

The Post-purchase placement has a focused set of controls:

• Products shown: how many cards render (displayed as a single row that wraps on smaller screens).
• Minimum to show: below this count the block renders nothing rather than look sparse.
• Sale badge: on or off (checkout styles it; custom colors don’t apply on this surface).
• Out-of-stock items and max per brand: same behavior controls as other placements.
• Heading: the row title, translatable per language; it follows the language the customer checked out in.

Measuring results

Post-purchase serves and card clicks are tracked like every other surface: open the bound recipe to see serves, clicks, and CTR in its serving performance table.

Tips

• Bind a recipe with complementary-purchase logic (like your cart placement’s recipe) rather than a bestsellers list; the customer just bought, so “goes well with what you got” outperforms “here’s what’s popular”.
• Keep Products shown modest (3 or 4). This surface rewards a confident short row, not a grid.
• If the block doesn’t appear after adding it, check that the placement is enabled and has a recipe bound in the app; an unbound placement renders nothing by design.
