Product Recommendation
The AfterShip product recommendation feature allows you to showcase the most relevant products to your customers by analyzing various behaviors and criteria. To use this feature, you need to import a minimum of order and product resources into AfterShip.
This documentation outlines typical scenarios for utilizing production recommendation with Commerce API, and provides detailed instructions on how to utilize the API effectively in each case. For additional scenarios and further information, please refer to the index page.
