Introduction


The Popular Today section in the Mini Account Drawer is designed to highlight products most relevant to a customer, based on their recent activity boosting engagement and encouraging conversions by surfacing items they’re most likely to purchase.

How This Section Works

The Popular Today section show products using the customer’s latest activity. It dynamically updates based on one or more of the following:

  • Recently viewed products

  • Recently wishlisted items

  • Recently purchased or added-to-cart items

If none of these activities are available for a customer, no product will be shown in the Popular Today section. This ensures that only relevant recommendations are displayed, keeping the drawer focused and meaningful.

Prefer Consistent Product Suggestions?

If you want this section to always show products, regardless of a customer’s behaviour, you can choose from the following fallback options:

Option 1: Add Manual (Static) Trending Products

  • Go to Flits Admin Panel → Mini Account Drawer → Popular Today settings.

  • Select up to 9 products to feature as static recommendations.

  • These selected products will always appear in the section for all users.

  • You can update or remove these products anytime from the same screen.

Option 2: Use Shopify Search & Discovery App

Use Shopify’s Search & Discovery app to define recommended products for specific items. Learn more here.

Tips

  • Combine dynamic activity-based and static recommendations for higher consistency.

  • Use Static suggestion or Shopify’s Search & Discovery app to fine-tune recommendations per product.

  • Keep product visuals clean and use engaging titles for the section.

Need Help?

If the section doesn’t display as expected or no products appear, double-check:

  • The customer’s activity history.

  • Whether fallback recommendations are added.

  • Whether the section is toggled on in the Flits panel.
