AI Product Recommendations for WooCommerce – Upsell & Cross-Sell

AI Product Recommendations for WooCommerce is an AI-powered product recommendation engine that helps WooCommerce stores increase average order value (AOV), boost conversions, and deliver a personalized shopping experience — all without a single external API call, cloud subscription, or third-party dependency. The built-in AI runs entirely on your WordPress server using your own WooCommerce order history. Smarter recommendations. Zero privacy risk. No monthly fees. 🚀 Boost AOV with Frequently Bought Together, Cart Cross-Sells, Post-Purchase Upsells, and AI-Ranked Related Products — all in one plugin. 📖 Documentation Why Choose This WooCommerce Recommendation Plugin? Most recommendation plugins depend on expensive cloud AI services or are limited to simple category-based suggestions. AI Product Recommendations for WooCommerce is different:

• ✅ True on-site AI — co-purchase frequency matrix built from your real order data
• ✅ No API key required — works out of the box, zero configuration to get started
• ✅ No external data sharing — 100% GDPR-friendly, all data stays in your database
• ✅ Works on day one — taxonomy-based fallback for new stores with no order history
• ✅ Performance-first — transient caching, sessionStorage tracking, page-specific asset loading
• ✅ Works with any theme — uses WooCommerce hooks and filters, no template overrides

Core Features 🛍️ Frequently Bought Together Show Amazon-style "Customers who bought this also bought" bundles on single product pages. Powered by a real co-purchase frequency matrix built from your WooCommerce order history. Supports configurable bundle discounts — percentage or fixed — to incentivize multi-product purchases and increase cart value instantly. 🤖 Related Products AI Replace WooCommerce's generic default related products with AI-ranked, intent-driven suggestions. Choose from three scoring modes:

• Co-purchase mode — products frequently bought together rank highest
• Taxonomy mode — scoring based on shared categories and tags
• Hybrid mode (default) — blends both signals (70% co-purchase / 30% taxonomy) for the best results at any store maturity level

Overrides WooCommerce output via the official woocommerce_related_products filter — no template files modified, zero theme conflict risk. 🛒 Cart Recommendations & Mini-Cart Cross-Sells Display smart product suggestions on the cart page and inside the mini-cart sidebar — exactly when purchase intent is highest. Products are scored in real time based on current cart contents and automatically exclude items already in the cart. 🎉 Post-Purchase Recommendations Show a "Complete your purchase" widget on the WooCommerce order-received (thank-you) page. Seeds recommendations from the highest-value item in the completed order and automatically excludes already-purchased products. Catches customers at peak satisfaction — their most likely moment to buy again. 👁️ Recently Viewed Products Session-based browsing history widget — fully GDPR-compliant with zero database queries. Uses browser sessionStorage (not cookies), data is never sent to the server, and clears automatically when the tab closes. Appears on product pages, the cart page, and anywhere via the [sprwoo_recently_viewed] shortcode. ⭐ Social Proof Badges Automatically display trust signals on all recommendation cards — no manual setup needed:

• Sales velocity — "12 sold this month"
• Rating summary — "★ 4.8 · 240 reviews"
• Total purchase count — "1,240 people bought this"

All data sourced directly from WooCommerce. Fully configurable minimum thresholds so new stores never show misleading social proof. 🔥 Low Stock Urgency Badges Trigger purchase urgency with automatic "Only 3 left!" stock badges on recommendation cards. Works with simple and variable products. Two display styles: quantity count ("Only X left!") or simplified ("Low stock"). Configurable stock threshold. Appears across all recommendation surfaces — FBT, related products, cart, post-purchase, recently viewed, Gutenberg block, and Elementor widget. 📊 Built-in Analytics Dashboard Track recommendation performance directly inside WP Admin. Monitor impressions, clicks, and add-to-cart events for every recommendation widget. Filter by 7, 30, or 90-day windows. See exactly which products your AI is driving to cart — no third-party analytics tool required. 🧱 Gutenberg Block Native WordPress block with server-side rendering. Place the recommendations widget on any page or post from the block editor. Configure recommendation type, column count, max products, title text, and toggle price, rating, and add-to-cart button visibility — all from the block sidebar. ⚡ Elementor Widget Drop the Smart Recommendations widget into any Elementor layout with live canvas preview. Built-in style controls for title color and spacing. No shortcodes needed. How the AI Engine Works

1. Every time a WooCommerce order is completed, the co-purchase frequency matrix updates automatically.
2. Products purchased together more often receive higher recommendation scores.
3. On new stores with no order history, a taxonomy-based fallback uses shared categories and tags to generate relevant suggestions immediately — no cold-start dead zone.
4. The default hybrid mode blends co-purchase data and taxonomy signals (70/30 weighting) for optimal accuracy at every stage of store growth.
5. All scores are cached as WordPress transients (1-hour TTL) — the scoring query runs at most once per hour per product.
