Studies show that product recommendations can bring in up to 31% of your online store\u2019s income.The best places to show these personalized recommendations are:Product Page \u2013 When customers are actively researching items, it\u2019s the perfect time to show frequently bought together products and product recommendations that complement their main interest.Shopping Cart Page \u2013 Customers reviewing their carts are already committed to buying, making them more open to cross-selling suggestions. The bought together model works especially well here.Checkout Page \u2013 This is your final opportunity to increase the average order value.

They can target customers based on their browsing behavior and cart contents.Now, keep reading to learn how to show these recommendations in WooCommerce!How to Show Frequently Bought Together Products in WooCommerceWooCommerce gives you several ways to set up the frequently bought together model. So, you might be wondering which one is best for your needs. Here\u2019s what you should know.The simplest approach is using WooCommerce\u2019s built-in linked product feature, which won\u2019t cost you anything extra or require any new plugins.Want more options? FunnelKit\u2019s Funnel Builder might be just what you\u2019re looking for. It lets you create a custom checkout page and\/or add a sliding cart that shows frequently bought together products in a way that appeals to customers.On the other hand, if you like WooCommerce\u2019s linked product feature but want your product suggestions to look better, then you can try the free YITH WooCommerce Frequently Bought Together plugin.Want to grab attention with popups? OptinMonster is perfect for displaying product recommendations at just the right time. It even lets you target suggestions based on customer reviews and shopping behavior.Now, ready to learn how to set these up? We\u2019ll show you each method step by step. Use these quick links to jump to the one you want to try:Method 1: Use WooCommerce\u2019s Linked Products Feature (Free + Simple)Let\u2019s start by heading to Products \u00bb Add new product in your WordPress dashboard to create a new product. Or, you can edit one you already have to set up your frequently bought together products.If you need help with adding a new product, then just read our WooCommerce made simple guide.Now, scroll down and look for the \u2018Product data\u2019 section. Then, click on the \u2018Linked Products\u2019 tab on the left.This is where you can create your product recommendations.You have two ways to show related products. The \u2018Upsells\u2019 section lets you display frequently bought together bundles right on your product page.If enabled, you will see a \u2018You may also like\u2026\u2019 section below your main product information. The \u2018Cross-sells\u2019 section is different. This is where you can suggest complementary items when customers are reviewing their shopping carts.The products will appear in a \u2018You may be interested in\u2026\u2019 section below your list of orders.For both sections, just type in the name of any product you want to suggest and pick from the search results that pop up.At this stage, you can continue setting up your WooCommerce product. For example, you can:When you\u2019re happy with your WooCommerce frequently bought together setup, just hit \u2018Publish\u2019 or \u2018Update\u2019 at the top of the page to save everything.Method 2: Use FunnelKit Funnel Builder (Custom Carts & Checkouts)FunnelKit is a powerful sales builder that lets you create custom shopping experiences in WooCommerce. We\u2019ve used it many times in our own tutorials, like when showing how to create custom thank-you pages.We love recommending FunnelKit to our readers because it gives you more control over how and where you show product suggestions. You can read our detailed FunnelKit Funnel Builder review to see why the pro version is our pick for creating high-converting shopping experiences.That said, there are two smart ways to show product suggestions with FunnelKit. The first is a sliding cart that follows your customers as they browse your store.When someone adds an item to their cart, the sliding shopping cart appears with carefully chosen related products. It\u2019s just like a helpful store assistant making personalized suggestions.The second method catches customers at checkout using order bumps. This is perfect for last-minute suggestions, similar to those tempting items near a physical store\u2019s checkout counter. The difference is that you can show items that specifically complement what\u2019s already in the customer\u2019s cart.You can use both methods together or just implement one of them to increase WooCommerce sales. So, let\u2019s look at each method one by one.But first things first, there are three WordPress plugins you need to install and activate:The first two options are free, while the last one requires a premium license. You can\u2019t leave this plugin out because it will enable the features you need to display frequently bought together products.If you\u2019re not familiar with adding plugins to your site, then check out our beginner\u2019s guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.Once you have installed and activated all three plugins, you can head to the\u00a0FunnelKit \u00bb Settings\u00a0page from the admin area. Then, switch to the \u2018License\u2019 tab in the left column.Now, just insert your license key and click the \u2018Activate\u2019 and \u2018Save Changes\u2019 button. You can get this information from your account on the FunnelKit website.Option 1: Display Frequently Bought Together Products in the Sliding CartFirst, go to FunnelKit \u00bb Cart and turn on the \u2018Enable Cart\u2019 switch.Next, customize how your sliding cart works. You can adjust where the icon sits, whether to show coupons, or tweak your checkout settings.Want the full details? Check out our guide on setting up a sliding cart in WooCommerce.Now, click the \u2018Upsells\u2019 tab in your left-hand menu and flip the \u2018Enable Cart Upsells\u2019 switch to \u2018On.\u2019You\u2019ll see some new options for arranging your product recommendations. You can take a peek at the preview in the top right to see how each layout looks.Now, next to \u2018Product Recommendation Type,\u2019 just choose whether you want to show cross-sells, upsells, or both. You can also add a catchy heading at the top and pick the maximum number of products you\u2019d like to display.At this stage, you can scroll down to find all your store\u2019s products listed under \u2018Upsells and Cross-Sells.\u2019Click on any product and hit either \u2018Add Upsell\u2019 or \u2018Add Cross Sell\u2019 to set up your recommendations.\ud83d\udca1 Expert Note: Upsells are the fancy versions of what\u2019s already in someone\u2019s shopping cart (think regular coffee vs. premium beans). Meanwhile, cross-sells are related items that go well together (like coffee filters with that coffee).When you click either button, a window pops up where you can search for and pick the products you want to recommend.Go ahead and do this for as many products as you\u2019d like.Finally, hit \u2018Save\u2019 at the top when you\u2019re done, and you\u2019re all set!Head over to your WordPress website to see your sliding cart with your product recommendations in action.Option 2: Display Frequently Bought Together Products in the Checkout ProcessIf you want to show frequently bought together items during the checkout process, then you need to go to FunnelKit \u00bb Store Checkout.Then, switch to the \u2018Store Checkout\u2019 tab and click on the \u2018Create Store Checkout\u2019 button.FunnelKit offers several checkout templates you can customize using the block editor or popular page builder plugins like Divi or Bricks. You can choose your preferred editing platform at the top of the page.If you want more information on how to modify this template, you can check out our guide on how to customize the WooCommerce checkout page.After that, click \u2018Preview\u2019 on the checkout template you\u2019re interested in.Most FunnelKit templates include a checkout page, plus upsell and thank you pages to maximize your cross-sell opportunities. For this tutorial, we will add an order bump to the checkout page and a product offer on the upsell page.If you\u2019re happy with how the template looks, you can click on the \u2018Import This Funnel\u2019 button.Next, you\u2019ll be asked to give your checkout a name. This helps you track different checkout funnels if you create multiple personalized product recommendation paths.Then, click \u2018Done.\u2019You can now start adding frequently bought together bundles to your checkout process.To add the frequently bought together bundle to the checkout page, you can click on the \u2018Add Order Bump\u2019 button in the \u2018Checkout\u2019 section.Now, give your order bump a name.We recommend using something straightforward like \u2018Frequently Bought Together Order Bump.\u2019After you\u2019ve chosen a name, click the \u2018Add\u2019 button.FunnelKit will now show you several design options for your product recommendations. You can pick one that matches your eCommerce store\u2019s style. After that, click \u2018Import.\u2019In the product selection popup, add the items you want to display as frequently bought together. You can also include product variants to give customers more choices.When you\u2019re done, simply click \u2018Add.\u2019Now, in the \u2018Design\u2019 tab, you can change the order bump\u2019s text and the style.To change the call-to-action text and the order bump product description, you can switch to the \u2018Content\u2019 menu under it. If you switch to the \u2018Style\u2019 menu, you can customize the order bump\u2019s colors, position, layout, and more.Make sure the design stands out but doesn\u2019t look out of place in your online store.Once you\u2019re happy with the text and style, you can switch to the \u2018Products\u2019 section. This is where you can fine-tune your WooCommerce frequently bought together offerings. You can add multiple products, set discount percentages, and adjust quantities to create irresistible product bundles.Also, make sure to enable \u2018Add Order Bumps to Cart Items\u2019 so customers can easily add your suggestions to their purchases.Now, switch to the \u2018Rules\u2019 tab. This is where you can get strategic with your related popular products.Go ahead and click \u2018Add Rules\u2019 to begin.There are various kinds of conditional logic rules you can apply. But since we\u2019re focusing on frequently bought together products, we\u2019ll select \u2018Cart Item(s).\u2019 This lets you show specific product recommendations based on what customers already have in their carts.For the next dropdown, you have a few options.If you choose \u2018contains exactly,\u2019 your suggestions appear only when customers have that specific item in their cart. This makes your recommendations more relevant and likely to convert.However, you can also choose \u2018contains at least\u2019 if you want your suggestions to appear even when customers have additional items in their cart. For example, if someone has a camera plus other items in their cart, and your order bump is for a camera case, then they\u2019ll still see that order bump at checkout.Then, in the \u2018Products\u2019 field, you can choose which items go together with the order bump. You can also increase the quantity of the products.Don\u2019t forget to click \u2018Save\u2019 to store your changes.Now, go back to the previous page. Here, scroll down a bit and click \u2018No Products\u2019 in the \u2018Upsells\u2019 section. This is where you can add an offer that will appear right after the customer completes their checkout information. On the next page, the plugin will bring you to the \u2018Products\u2019 tab.Here, just click \u2018Add Product.\u2019At this stage, you can type in the name of the product that you want to add as an offer. Feel free to add as many products as you like.Then, once you\u2019re done, just click \u2018Add.\u2019Next, you can make your offers more tempting. You can do this by adjusting the discount percentage, choosing how the discount works, setting up flat shipping rates, and controlling product quantities. These settings help you create attractive deals that customers can\u2019t resist.When you scroll down, you\u2019ll find some smart settings to prevent awkward situations. We recommend enabling the \u2018Skip this offer if product(s) exist in parent order\u2019 setting to avoid suggesting items customers are already buying. You can also skip showing offers for products they\u2019ve bought before or let them choose their own quantities.To change the look of the offer page, go ahead and switch to the \u2018Design\u2019 tab.Here, you will see a button directing you to the block editor or the page builder of your choice. Simply click on the \u2018Edit \u2026 Template\u2019 button to open it.Now, feel free to customize the offer page just as you would when editing any page with the editing platform of your choice. For example, you can briefly mention the benefits of claiming the offer or change the call-to-action button text to better capture attention.The page also includes smart tags that automatically replace placeholder text with information like the customer\u2019s first name and the product name. We recommend keeping these tags to make sure the message feels personal and clear to your customers.If you use the block editor and need some pointers, then you can read our guide on how to use the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg tutorial). Once done, just save your changes, and click on the button that says \u2018Back to Funnel Edit Page.\u2019Lastly, head to the \u2018Settings\u2019 tab for some advanced options.Here, you can set up \u2018Dynamic Shipping,\u2019 which lets you charge separate shipping costs for these additional items. This is helpful when your frequently bought together items have different shipping requirements.Consider enabling the \u2018Ask Confirmation\u2019 setting too. This adds a simple confirmation step when customers accept your offer, preventing accidental clicks and ensuring they really want the additional items.\ud83d\udd0d Want to increase sales and boost customer satisfaction?

They can easily add these complementary items to their order with a single click, making the buying process smooth and convenient.Method 3: Use YITH WooCommerce Frequently Bought Together (Free + Bundle Pricing)This method builds on WooCommerce\u2019s basic linked products tool but adds more engaging features to your product page.
