A product recommendation block is a front end visual display of a set of products, linked to a back end AI-powered recommendation model that derives the actual products to display. Using blocks we enable multiple use of each model and you can run different recommendations, with different designs and various settings.
When a merchant deploys product recommendations from Engage, they first create a block that holds the configuration of the recommendations they want to use. The configuration controls:
What type of recommendation to use
The recommendation block design
When to display the recommendation block
What rules, logic and filters to apply

The recommendation block design can be fully customized to your needs. In most cases the available design settings within the block is enough to create a visually compelling set of recommendations. The following design settings are available:
