What Is WPC Custom Related Products for WooCommerce?
WPC Custom Related Products for WooCommerce is developed by WPClever and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for online shop optimization. While WooCommerce typically identifies related items by shared tags or categories, this plugin allows for manual selection and complex rule sets.
It solves the limitation of automated algorithms that often suggest irrelevant items to customers. It is built for store owners who want to create a custom list and modify product recommendations on a large scale across their entire catalog.
WPC Custom Related Products for WooCommerce Features
The feature set is built around providing flexible data sources and display rules for product recommendations.
Comprehensive Product Sources
The plugin supports over 10 different sources for selecting related items, including tags, categories, product types, brands, and collections. Users can also filter by attributes, visibility, and shipping classes. This variety ensures that recommendations remain relevant to the specific ecommerce strategy of the store.
Smart Related Rules and Logic
In the Smart Related tab, users configure rules that apply globally or to specific product sets. The plugin checks rules from the top down, prioritizing the first matching condition. This hierarchical logic allows for complex setups where specific brands or high-margin items are promoted over generic category-based suggestions.
Integration with WPC Ecosystem
Custom Related Products works with WPC Smart Linked Products, Frequently Bought Together, and Fly Cart. It can display recommendations directly within the Fly Cart popup or as default items in the Bought Together section. This cross-plugin compatibility makes it a core component of the WPClever library.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the premium version varies based on the number of site licenses required. WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
