Welcome to the October edition of our Code Black Belt update series
This month’s updates are all about simplicity and insight, from smarter recommendations in Also Bought to preconfigured setups for Shopify’s new Horizons themes and new analytics dashboards that make it easier to measure performance at a glance.
New recently viewed recommendations in Also Bought
We’ve introduced a new type of recommendation in Also Bought: Recently Viewed Products.
These recommendations appear after global ones and before random ones, helping merchants showcase products that customers have just interacted with.
It’s a simple but effective way to personalize the shopping experience and highlight what’s top of mind for your visitors.
Want to try it out?
Check our documentation on how to display Recently Viewed products as recommendations.
Easier translation management in Also Bought
Making your store multilingual just got easier.
You can now add and manage widget text translations directly from the advanced preferences section in the app.
This update allows you to handle translations without leaving the app’s preferences pages - a faster, cleaner approach that works with all existing translation methods.
📝 Note: Merchants who installed the app earlier may need to update permissions before adding translations through preferences.
For details, see our article on managing widget translations from preferences.
New statistics in Add to Cart Anywhere & Keep & Share Your Cart
Understanding performance should not be a guessing game.
That’s why we’ve added new statistics dashboards in two of our apps:
-
📊 Tracks: Rendered, Viewed, Added to Cart, Purchased, and Converted value
- 🧠 Helps you see exactly how your widget influences customer actions
- 📈 Tracks: Number of shared carts and how many times those carts are viewed
These insights make it easier to measure engagement and understand your apps’ impact on sales.
For full details, see our guides on how Keep & Share Your Cart and Add to Cart Anywhere stats work.
