Manual pairings & exclusions
Last updated Jul 22, 2026
AI pairing doesn't mean giving up control. You can guide or override it whenever you want.
Hand-picked pairings
For products where you know exactly what belongs together, set the pairing yourself. A manual pairing takes precedence over the AI's suggestion for that product.
Exclusion lists
Add products to an exclusion list to keep them out of recommendations entirely — useful for out-of-stock items, low-margin products you don't want to push, or anything off-brand to recommend.

When to use each
- Use hand-picked pairings to guarantee a specific companion (a signature bundle, a required accessory).
- Use exclusions to remove noise so the AI's automatic pairings stay high quality.
Note: Manual pairings and exclusions work alongside AI pairing — the AI fills the gaps you haven't set by hand.
