The Nosto Recommendation Extensions on Shopify inherits your store’s styling but also includes appearance settings you can customize. These allow you to better control how product recommendations look during checkout.

You’ll find all options directly in the Shopify Theme Editor, under the Checkout template in the Nosto Extension block.

Choosing a Layout Mode

There are two layout modes available for how product recommendations are displayed:

  • Default Design

    Applied by default. Clean layout using your theme’s style.

  • Advanced Design

    Offers a more modern layout and unlocks additional visual options (e.g. showing product descriptions or using strike-through pricing).

    • This layout is automatically used on mobile and optional on desktop

You can switch between the two in the Theme Editor under the “Recommendation Design” setting.


Customization Options by Layout

Available in Both Layouts (Default & Advanced)

Image Ratio

Control how square or rectangular the product images are shown:

Options: 1, 1.5, 0.75

Image Fit

Adjust how images are scaled in their containers:

Options: cover, contain, fill

Product Title Size

Set the font size of product titles:

Options: small, medium, large


Available Only in Advanced Layout

Product Description

Choose whether to show or hide a short product description under the title.

Options: true (show), false (hide)

Strike-Through Price

If a recommended product is discounted, you can display the original price with a line-through.

Options: true (show), false (hide)

Button Style

Adjust the styling of the “Add” or CTA button to better match your theme:

Options:

  • base-primary

  • monochrome-primary

  • base-secondary

  • critical-secondary

  • monochrome-secondary


How to Configure

The configuration of the Extensions happens completely in your Shopify Theme Editor. Simply navigate to your Checkout editor view, select the Nosto Extension and find the settings opened automatically.
