Results show the wrong products
Fix results that show the wrong products, the same products for everyone, or a product that never appears.

A quiz recommends the products whose tags match the answers a shopper picked. When the results look wrong, the tags or the products the quiz chooses from almost always explain it.
Check the tags match
- Open the quiz, select an answer's question, and note the answer's Tags.
- In your Shopify admin, open the products you expect and check they carry the same tags. Case doesn't matter, but spelling does: dry-skin and dry skin are different tags.
- Add the missing tags to your products, or change the answers' tags, then save.
The more tags a product shares with a shopper's answers, the higher it ranks. See Set up answers and tags.
Everyone gets the same products
- Nothing matches, so every shopper sees your fallback products. Check the tags as above. See Set fallback products.
- There are no fallback products either, so shoppers see the first products the quiz chooses from. Pick two or three fallbacks.
- Answers have no tags, so they can't make any product rank higher.
A product never shows
Check the product against each of these:
- It's Active and available on your Online Store sales channel.
- It's in stock, or the quiz has Recommend sold-out products too on.
- It's among the products the quiz chooses from: under Results, Recommend from may be set to collections or picks that leave it out.
- It isn't under Never recommend.
- With All products, the quiz reads your first 1,000 products. For a bigger catalog, recommend from collections instead.
See Choose which products it recommends.
A set has the wrong product in a step
Each step takes the best match among products that carry one of the step's Product tags. With Also match products to steps by name on, a product whose name contains the step's name can fill it too. Check the step's tags and the product's. See Build a step-by-step set.
The preview shows different products
