Overview #

The Related Product Plugin for WooCommerce adds a “Related Products” section in your store’s single product pages. It gives store owners full control over how and which products are displayed in this section.

Using this plugin, you can:

• Change the number of related products per page;
• Specify the number of columns of products per page;
• Sort related products by date, title, meta value, meta value (numeric), or randomly;
• Show related products with the same category, tag, or attribute as the product;
• Disable related products for the whole store;
• Disable related products by category, tag, or product name.

Why Enable WooCommerce Related Products for Your Online Store?

Showing related products can increase upsell and revenue for your store, as buyers will find similar or related-utility products in one place. It will also increase your store’s browning and shopping experience.

How to Display Manually Chosen Products in the “Related Products” Section? #

As per the storewide setting options of this plugin, you can enable related products by product category, tag, or attribute. However, you might need to add products in this section that are not connected by these categorizations.

For example, “car seat cover” may be fully distinct from “napkins,” “air fresher,” and “fancy water bottles” like categories, but there surely are higher chances of upselling. For such cases, you can enable the Relate Manually option in the WooCommerce Related Products plugin.

To showcase custom-selected products in the Related Products section on the single product page, you need to open the desired product in Edit Mode. It will enable an additional metabox titled Booster: Related Products section in your product (edit) pages.

1. Select the Enable option’s value as “yes”.
2. Select the products to be displayed in the “Related Products” section for the current product the next.

Please note that the WooCommerce Related Product plugin will render the related products as per the  Related Products Number value. So, if its value is 3 and you enter 5 product names in the Related Products section manually, only 3 products (sorted as per the plugin settings) will be visible to your buyers in the store.
