What Is WPC Smart Linked Products?
WPC Smart Linked Products is developed by WPClever and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional online store management.
This plugin solves the manual labor involved in assigning linked products to individual items by using a rule-based engine. It is designed for WooCommerce store owners who want to scale their sales strategies without editing every product page individually.
WPC Smart Linked Products Features
The feature set is built around providing granular control over how products are associated with one another in the WooCommerce ecosystem.
Rule-Based Product Linking
Smart Linked Products enables the creation of global rules that automatically generate upsells and cross-sells for bulk items. Users can define sources based on all products, specific brands, collections, types, or tags. These rules can be prioritized, ensuring that the most relevant products appear first to the customer during their ecommerce journey.
Advanced Filtering and Sources
The plugin provides ten distinct source types, including categories, attributes, and shipping classes. In the premium version, the Combined Source feature allows users to filter products by price levels or mix multiple criteria, such as linking all products under a specific brand to a specific category. This versatility ensures that suggestions are highly targeted and logically sound.
Display and Sorting Controls
Store owners can limit the number of linked products shown to prevent cluttering the interface. Sorting options allow products to be ordered by specific filters, such as newest or highest price. Because Smart Linked Products is compatible with WPC Custom Related Products, users can manage all three types of product relationships—related, upsells, and cross-sells—from a unified interface.
