Product Recommendations for New Users
Updated April 23, 2026
Automatic product recommendations help new customers discover the right products on your shop
When new customers visit your product catalog, Fourthwall can show a short recommendation quiz to help them find products that match their preferences. This feature runs automatically and requires no setup on your part.
How the recommendation quiz works
The recommendation quiz asks customers two quick questions, then shows five curated products based on their answers. Here's the flow:
Step 1: The customer opens the recommendation personalizer on your product catalog.
Step 2: They choose a quality preference:
- Premium quality materials: Highest quality fabrics, materials, and finishes
- Good quality at a good price: A mix of premium materials and affordable prices
Step 3: They choose a fit preference:
- Classic fit: Your classic t-shirt fit
- Slim fit: A tighter fit around the torso
- Boxy fit: A loose, oversized fit
Step 4: Fourthwall displays five product recommendations based on their selections.
What customers see
The recommendation personalizer appears as an interactive guide within your product catalog. Customers tap or click through two screens, each with clear visual options and short descriptions. After answering both questions, they see a curated set of five products that match their stated preferences.
The recommendations pull from products you've published in your shop. Only active, in-stock products appear in the results.
How recommendations are selected
Fourthwall matches customer preferences against product attributes in the catalog. Each product has internal quality and style tags that determine which recommendation results it appears in.
- Quality tags sort products into "Premium" and standard tiers based on fabric and print quality
- Style tags classify products by fit type: Classic, Slim, or Boxy
When a customer selects "Premium quality materials" and "Slim fit," the system returns five products tagged with both premium quality and slim fit attributes. If fewer than five products match exactly, the system fills remaining slots with close matches.
You don't need to tag or configure products for recommendations. Fourthwall assigns quality and style attributes automatically based on the product catalog data.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to enable product recommendations?
No. The recommendation personalizer is an automatic feature that appears for new customers on all shops. No setup is required.
Can I control which products appear in recommendations?
Not directly. Recommendations are based on product attributes assigned automatically by Fourthwall. Publishing a wider range of products in different quality tiers and fit styles gives your customers more relevant results.
Does this feature work for all product types?
The recommendation quiz focuses on apparel and similar products where quality and fit preferences apply. Non-apparel products like accessories, drinkware, and digital items are not included in the recommendation results.
Where does the recommendation quiz appear?
The quiz appears within the product catalog for new customers. Returning customers who have already completed the quiz may see their previous preferences remembered.
