What's newin Layers

A new beta block strategy serves "shop the look" sets built from the companion garments detected in your own product photography, no manual curation required.

Shopify combined-listing colorways can now be grouped into a product family automatically, and interaction-based block recommendations treat each family as one product.

Blocks can now serve the products a merchant authored in a Shopify reference metafield on the anchor product, like "wear it with" or "refills for this" — no duplicate curation required.

Similar Products recommendations now build from the exact variant a shopper is viewing, not just the overall product, for more relevant matches on color- and size-specific pages.

Collection-sourced blocks can now opt in to the collection’s merchandising rule pins and banners instead of always returning raw collection order.

New block strategies that recommend products from each shopper’s own session, cart, and order history, plus smarter cold-start personalization for new visitors.

Variant breakouts can now target block recommendations, expanding products into variant tiles there too — with a per-block safeguard to opt out.

Limit how many products from the same family can appear near the top of a recommendation block, and fix family exclusion on collection-anchored similar-products blocks.

Add more recommendation strategies for search, collection, cart, and landing pages.
