How It Works?

Smart Related Products captures customer interest and boosts conversions by recommending products that align with each user’s browsing and purchasing behavior. This strategic approach enhances upsells and cross-sells—especially among your loyal customers.

🧠 Intelligent Product Filtering

The plugin uses a combination of smart techniques to suggest products that are more likely to convert:

🍪 Recently Viewed Products

Using browser cookies, the plugin stores up to 30 recently visited products for each visitor. It then recommends similar or related items based on this history—without requiring a login.

🛒 Cart-Based Recommendations

As shoppers add products to their cart, the plugin identifies complementary items that align with their current selections. These suggestions increase average order value before checkout.

🧾 Purchase History Matching (For Logged-In Users)

If a customer is logged in, the plugin reviews their previous orders and displays products that match their interests or complement past purchases. This makes the experience feel more personalized and relevant.

🤝 Collaborative Filtering (Pro Version)

For even smarter recommendations, the Pro version includes item-based collaborative filtering. By analyzing co-purchase behavior—products often bought together—the plugin recommends items with a higher likelihood of interest and conversion.
