About this plugin
Increase your WooCommerce average order value with cross-sell and upsell offers and automatic discounts. Cross-Sell with Discounts for WooCommerce recommends related products in the mini-cart, cart and checkout — exactly when customers are ready to buy. Create category-based product recommendations, add an optional automatic discount and let customers add items with one click — no coupon codes and no page reloads.
Show a matching offer at the perfect moment
Example: A customer adds a suitcase to the cart. The plugin automatically recommends a matching luggage strap or travel organizer at 15% off. The offer appears in the mini-cart, cart or checkout and is added with one click — the discount applies automatically as long as the suitcase stays in the cart.
Key features
- Category-based product recommendations – show relevant add-ons based on what is already in the cart.
- Automatic cross-sell discounts – an optional percentage discount, no coupon codes needed.
- Discount quantity limit – optionally discount only a set number of items per order; extra items are charged at the regular price.
- Coupon control – let coupons combine with cross-sell discounts or keep them off already discounted items.
- Mini-cart, cart and checkout placement – offers at the moments that matter (classic and block checkout).
- One-click AJAX add to cart – add suggestions without leaving or reloading the page.
- Global limit and smart sorting – cap the number of suggestions and sort by priority, popularity, price or newest.
- List, slider or grid layouts – with image formats (4:3, 1:1, 3:4), overlay styles and full card styling (colours, border, badge).
- Replace WooCommerce’s native output – optionally hide WooCommerce’s own cross-sells and “Related products”, so only your curated offers show.
- Custom product presentation – heading, description, image, link, button label/icon and discount badge.
- Flexible display rules – locations, per-product priority and how many recommendations appear.
- Shortcode [wccs_cross_sell] to place suggestions anywhere.
Where offers appear
Offers are shown in the mini-cart drawer, on the cart page and during checkout — including the WooCommerce block checkout. You decide where each location is active.
How it works in three steps
- Open a product, go to the Cross-Selling tab and tick “Use as cross-sell”.
- Choose the trigger categories and, optionally, an automatic discount in percent — limited to a number of items per order if you like.
- As soon as a customer has a product from one of those categories in the cart, your product is suggested — with its discount.
Keep your margins under control
Cross-sell discounts should win extra sales, not give your margin away.
- Discount quantity limit – give the discount to a fixed number of items per order (for example one discounted drink per order); any further items are charged at the regular price. The cart shows both parts separately, so every amount adds up exactly.
- Coupon control – decide whether WooCommerce coupons combine with the cross-sell discount or skip items that are already discounted.
- Transparent orders – every order line records the applied cross-sell discount (e.g. “Cross-sell discount: -10% on 2 of 4”), visible in the order admin, order emails and the customer account.
Why use this instead of standard WooCommerce cross-sells?
WooCommerce’s built-in cross-sells must be assigned manually per product, offer no discount and only appear on the cart page. This plugin adds category-based triggers (no per-product linking), an automatic discount, placement in the mini-cart, cart and checkout, one-click adding and multiple layouts — and can even hide WooCommerce’s own cross-sells and related products so only your offers show.
