Steps

  1. Generate a Customer Account UI Extension using the Shopify CLI and select the customer-account.order-index.block.render or a profile-related target appropriate for recommendations
  2. Use the useApi hook from @shopify/ui-extensions-react/customer-account to access the customer's order history or session token if fetching personalized recommendations from an external endpoint
  3. Call an external recommendations endpoint using the extension's network access capability (declared in the TOML configuration) and pass relevant customer context such as recent product IDs
  4. Render the recommendations using allowed UI component primitives (Grid, ProductThumbnail, Link, Text) within the extension render function
  5. Configure the extension's allowed network domains in the TOML so requests to the recommendations API are permitted at runtime
  6. Deploy and install the extension, then verify it appears on the correct page within the customer account portal on a development store
