Yes — and it's one of the highest-value placements for book cross-sells because you're reaching a customer who is actively engaged with the exact product category the book relates to. Here are three practical methods, from simplest to most sophisticated.
Method 1: Shopify Native "Complementary Products" (No App Required)
Shopify's Online Store 2.0 themes include a "Complementary products" section that can appear on product pages. To use it:
1. Go to Shopify admin → Online Store → Customize → select a product template
2. Add the "Complementary products" section (available in most 2.0 themes like Dawn)
3. In the product editor for your yoga mat (or any product), use the "Complementary products" field to manually assign specific books you've published via BooksCloud
This requires manual assignment per product — but for your top 10 to 20 products, it takes about 20 minutes and delivers a permanently visible, on-brand book recommendation without any app cost.
Method 2: PickyStory "Frequently Bought Together" Widget
PickyStory lets you create a "frequently bought together" widget that appears on a product page with a direct "Add all to cart" button. This is slightly higher-converting than the Shopify native widget because it includes the option to add all recommended products with one click.
Setup: In PickyStory, create a new "Frequently bought together" deal, set the yoga mat as the anchor product, and add your BooksCloud yoga books as companions. Place the widget below the add-to-cart button.
Method 3: LimeSpot, Rebuy, or Similar Recommendation Engine
For stores with larger catalogs where manual assignment isn't scalable, recommendation engines like Rebuy or LimeSpot can automate book suggestions based on product tags and collection membership.
Tag your BooksCloud books with relevant keywords (e.g., "yoga," "fitness," "mindfulness"). Tag your yoga mat with the same keywords. Configure the recommendation engine to suggest products sharing tags with the viewed product. The engine will automatically surface relevant books without manual product-by-product assignment.
Whichever Method You Use
The placement should appear below the add-to-cart button but above the product description fold — or immediately below the description. Visibility at point-of-decision is what drives conversion. A book recommendation buried at the bottom of a long product page will be seen by a small fraction of shoppers; one positioned near the add-to-cart button will be seen by nearly all of them.
