Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recommendations | Choose recommendations when the system ranks a small set of likely useful items from behavior, context, similarity, popularity, rules, or model output. | Opening a recommendation navigates to that item or action and records the event according to the disclosed analytics and personalization rules. | Shopify documents related and complementary product recommendations, eligibility filtering, generated recommendations, manual recommendations, and hiding generated recommendations. |
| Recommended next action | Choose recommended next action when the system proposes a concrete action that is immediately relevant to the current work object and user role. | Accepting or reviewing the recommendation opens the proposed action with context preserved and does not silently commit high-impact changes. | Shopify recommendation guidance helps distinguish broad item recommendations from one contextual workflow action. |
