    'orderby'    => 'count',

    echo '<div class="wpide-keep-shopping" style="margin-top:32px;"><p style="font-weight:600;">Keep shopping</p><p>';

    foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
        printf( '<a class="button" style="margin:0 8px 8px 0;" href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', esc_url( get_term_link( $term ) ), esc_html( $term->name ) );
