Step 1 — Install the App
Install Iconic Frequently Bought Together from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, the app opens in your Shopify admin under Apps > Frequently Bought Together.Step 2 — Enable the Theme App Embed
The widget requires a one-time activation in your theme settings.- In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes
- Click Customize on your active theme
- In the theme editor, click App embeds (the puzzle-piece icon in the left sidebar)
- Find Iconic Frequently Bought Together and toggle it on

If you skip this step, the widget will not appear on any product pages, even if recommendations are fully configured.
Step 3 — Choose Your Recommendation Algorithm

- Set the Number of recommendations (how many products to display alongside the main item)
- Click Save
Step 4 — Enable at Least One Recommendation Type
Still on the Bundle setup page, scroll down to Types of recommendations and enable at least one:- Custom bundles — lets you hand-pick recommendations per product (configure in the Custom Bundles section)
- Storewide recommendations — shows a fixed set of products on every page (configure via the Configure button)
- Random Picks — auto-fills recommendations from your catalogue (configure via the Configure button)
You can enable multiple types at once. The app will show the best available recommendations from all enabled types.
Step 5 — Add Your First Recommendations
Option A — Custom Bundle (per product)
