详情介绍:
Plogins Pair adds automatic product recommendations to your WooCommerce store, with no manual setup. It helps shoppers discover more of your catalog while they browse and check out, which lifts average order value and keeps people moving toward the cart.
Out of the box you get three blocks:
- "You may also like" after the product summary, so a shopper always has a next step.
- Cross-sell suggestions on the cart, based on what is already in it, to grow the order before checkout.
- Recently viewed products, so returning shoppers pick up where they left off.
- Same category (by popularity) - the default; other products from the same categories, ordered by total sales.
- Shared tags - products that share the item's tags.
- Best sellers - your top sellers, optionally within the same categories.
- Newest products - your most recent additions.
- Recently viewed by the shopper - the products this visitor looked at.
- Rendered with the active theme's product cards, so it looks native.
- No front-end JavaScript; recently viewed is stored in a first-party cookie (product IDs only, nothing sent anywhere).
- Queries are bounded by the number of products you choose.
- A clean, sectioned settings screen with inline help.
- Fully translatable, accessible headings and labels.

- Automatic "You may also like" block after the single product summary, optionally replacing WooCommerce's own related products so the page shows one grid.
- Automatic cross-sell suggestions under the cart, based on its contents, on both the classic cart and the WooCommerce Cart block.
- Recently viewed products block, on product pages and/or the cart.
- Five selectable strategies per block (category, tags, best sellers, newest, recently viewed) with a recent-products fallback.
- Configurable number of products (1 to 12) and columns (1 to 6).
- Optional "in stock only" filter.
- Editable headings for every block.
- [pair_recommendations] and [pair_recently_viewed] shortcodes to place blocks anywhere, plus matching Elementor widgets when Elementor is active.
- Theme-styled product cards, no custom front-end JavaScript, no layout shift.
[pair_recommendations strategy="related" count="4" columns="4"]- a recommendation block. On a product page it uses that product; elsewhere it uses the cart.strategyis optional (related, tags, bestsellers, newest, recently).[pair_recently_viewed count="4" columns="4"]- the shopper's recently viewed products.
安装:
- Install and activate WooCommerce.
- Install Plogins Pair and activate it.
- Open WooCommerce -> Pair recommendations. Sensible defaults are set on activation; turn blocks on or off, pick a strategy, and set headings.

常见问题:
Does this require WooCommerce?
Yes. The plugin works with WooCommerce products and shows nothing until WooCommerce is active.
How are recommendations chosen?
You pick a strategy per block: same category by popularity (default), shared tags, best sellers, newest, or the shopper's recently viewed products. If there are not enough matches, the block is topped up with recent products so it is never empty.
Is this different from WooCommerce upsells and cross-sells?
Yes. WooCommerce upsells and cross-sells are chosen manually for each product. Pair generates recommendations automatically from your catalog, so you do not have to curate them product by product.
How does "recently viewed" work, and is it GDPR friendly?
When a visitor opens a product, Pair stores that product's ID in a first-party cookie on their own device. It keeps only product IDs, holds no personal data, and never sends anything to an external service. The block simply shows those products again.
Will it slow down my store or shift the layout?
No. Blocks render with your theme's product-card markup and a small stylesheet, with no front-end JavaScript. Queries are bounded by your chosen product count.
Can I control where the blocks appear?
Yes. Turn the product-page, cart and recently-viewed blocks on or off independently, and use the shortcodes to place a block anywhere.
Does the cart block work with the WooCommerce Cart block?
Yes. On a cart page built with the Cart block, the cross-sell and recently viewed placements appear right after the block, the same as under the classic cart. If you already added [pair_recommendations] or [pair_recently_viewed] to that page yourself, Pair skips the automatic copy of that placement so it does not show twice. The suggestions are worked out when the page loads, so they do not change while the shopper edits the cart until the page is reloaded.
Will the product page show two "related" grids?
No. "Replace WooCommerce related products" on the settings screen hides WooCommerce's own related products while Pair's product-page block is on. It is on by default for new installs. Stores that installed Pair before 1.2.0 keep WooCommerce's related products until they tick the box.
Does this plugin work on WordPress Multisite?
Yes. This plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite. Network activate it or activate it on individual sites; each site keeps its own settings and data.
更新日志:
1.2.4
- Fixed: deleting the plugin on a multisite network now removes its settings from every site, not only the main one.
- The Upgrade to PRO links open the pricing page in the admin's language where plogins.com has one, and tell plogins.com which plugin the visit came from (utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign in the link). Nothing is sent from your site.
- Readme: the PRO section lists what the free plugin includes and what the paid edition adds as two lists, which WordPress.org can display (it does not display tables).
- Readme only: a PRO section with links to the paid edition.
- Fixed: "Replace WooCommerce related products" now also hides the Related products block in block themes such as Twenty Twenty-Five, not only the classic theme hook, so the product page shows one grid.
- Added: "Replace WooCommerce related products". With Pair's product-page block on, WooCommerce's own related products no longer render underneath it, so the page shows one recommendation grid instead of two. On by default for new installs; stores updating from an earlier version keep their current page until they tick the box.
- Added: cart cross-sells and the cart recently viewed block now appear on a cart page built with the WooCommerce Cart block, not only on the classic cart. A placement already added to the page by shortcode is not repeated.
- The stylesheet now loads only on product and cart pages, and on any page where a Pair shortcode, widget or block renders.
- Fixed: the "Recently viewed" block, its shortcode and its Elementor widget were topped up with the newest products, so a first-time visitor saw a "Recently viewed" row of products they had never opened. The block now lists only viewed products and stays hidden when there are none. Recommendation blocks keep their fallback.
- The upgrade notice's "Coming soon" and "Get notified" labels are English source strings for every language; Polish sites used to get their own Polish source text, which translators in other languages then saw untranslated.
- The sidebar upgrade promo now follows the same dismissal as the banner. Dismissing the banner used to leave a full-height advert on the settings screen for good, which is not what the WordPress.org guideline on upgrade prompts means by used with moderation.
- Fixed: the PRO upgrade promo kept selling to people who had already bought the paid edition. Only the banner could be dismissed, so the sidebar promo and the locked feature cards followed a paying customer around for good. The promo now checks whether the paid edition is active and steps aside when it is.
- Fixed: the settings screen offered "get notified" instead of a buy button. Pair PRO has been on sale at 29 EUR since early September; the generated upsell config still carried the coming-soon flag from before that, and so did the comment describing it.
- Fixed: deleting the plugin left the per-user "dismiss" flag from the PRO notice in the database. Uninstall now removes it for every user, not just the one who dismissed it.
- Fixed: the three storefront headings were frozen into the database in whichever language the admin happened to be using when the plugin was activated, and never changed again. They were translation calls inside a config file whose result is stored at activation, so a shop activated in English showed English headings to its customers however complete its language pack was, and switching the site language did nothing.
- The headings are now resolved when they are rendered and never written back to the option. A heading you typed yourself is still used exactly as typed, and the settings fields show the default as a placeholder.
- On update, a heading left byte for byte as the old English default is cleared so the translated one takes over. Anything you edited is matched exactly and kept.
- Added a "Plogins Pair PRO" section to this page, with a free-versus-PRO grid. Every row was checked against the add-on's source, not its marketing copy.
- The WordPress.org banner was redrawn. The old one was laid out taller than the 772x250 canvas it is cropped to, so the second feature line and the screenshot were sliced off at the edges.
- Added: Elementor widgets for the recommendations block and the recently-viewed row, so both can be placed anywhere in an Elementor layout instead of only at their hooked positions. Elementor is optional; nothing loads without it.
- Added: the
pair/recommendationsfilter, so an add-on can curate or reorder the picks before they render.
- Plugin Check: stop passing
excludeintowc_get_products(). Seed and cart products are still omitted; they are dropped after the query instead.
- Tested against WordPress 7.1. Verified by activating this build on a clean 7.1 install with WooCommerce 11.1, not by editing the header.
- Fixed the PRO promo on the settings screen quoting a price in PLN. PRO is priced and charged in EUR, so an admin on a Polish site was shown a zloty amount and then billed in euro, and the zloty figure was a fixed conversion that drifted from the real charge as the rate moved. The promo now shows the euro price that is actually taken.
- The settings screen now tells you when your cart page is built with the WooCommerce Cart block. The cart cross-sell and recently viewed placements need the classic cart, so instead of ticking a box and getting nothing on the front end, you see a note with the shortcode that does work on a block cart page.
- The PRO notice in the admin now lists what Pair PRO actually ships. It had been stuck on the first four features while PRO grew to nine, so it never mentioned the bundle discount, manual curation, category rules, A/B testing or the analytics screen.
- Translations: completed Polish, German and Spanish for the PRO upgrade panel.
- Added bundled Polish, German and Spanish translations for the plugin interface.
- First stable release.
- Initial release: automatic product-page, cart and recently-viewed blocks; five selectable strategies with a recent-products fallback; configurable count, columns, headings and in-stock filter; [pair_recommendations] and [pair_recently_viewed] shortcodes; sectioned settings screen with inline help.
