About this plugin
ShapedRecommend is a complete WooCommerce product recommendations plugin that shows the right product at every step of the shopping journey — upsells, cross-sells, related products, Frequently Bought Together, bestsellers, on-sale and featured products — on your product, shop, category and cart pages.
Product recommendations are one of the simplest ways to increase average order value (AOV) in WooCommerce. Instead of the same fixed related products on every page, ShapedRecommend lets you decide exactly where a recommendation shows, which products it picks, how they are ranked, how the block looks and when it is allowed to appear — and preview it on desktop and mobile before it goes live.
Why ShapedRecommend?
- One plugin for every recommendation type — related products, “You May Also Like”, upsells, cross-sells, Frequently Bought Together, “Customers Also Bought”, “Complete Your Order”, cart upsells, best sellers, popular products, featured products, on-sale products and more.
- Never recommends what shoppers can’t buy. In-stock, on-sale and price filters keep sold-out or off-brand products out of every block.
- Set it once, it adapts to every product. Each recommendation reads the product being viewed or the items in the cart, so one rule automatically shows relevant picks on every product page — no product-by-product setup.
- Recommendation Manager — no repeated products, block limits and session limits so offers never stack.
- Built-in analytics — views, clicks, conversions and revenue for every recommendation.
- Fast and modern-store ready. Scripts load only where a recommendation shows. Compatible with HPOS and WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks.
Show On — Choose Where Recommendations Run
Show On sets the page type a recommendation belongs to. The recommendation always reasons from that page: the product being viewed, the category being browsed or the products in the cart.
- Product — recommend anything that fits the product being viewed: similar items, premium alternatives, add-ons, items customers buy together or your own hand-picked products.
- Category — showcase any mix of products on category and tag pages: popular, on-sale, featured, in-stock or your own curated picks.
- Cart — suggest whatever completes the order: add-ons, accessories, better alternatives or best sellers that pair with what is already in the cart.
Start faster with ready-made recommendations — Related Products, Up-sells (You May Also Like), Cross-sells and Frequently Bought Together. Pick one and edit every field afterwards.
Position On Page — Place Recommendations Exactly Where They Convert
Drop each recommendation into the exact spot it converts, with no theme editing. Placements use native WooCommerce hooks, so they work with most themes.
- Product page — before product tabs, after product tabs, after the product summary.
- Category / tag archives — before products, after products.
- Shop page — before products, after products.
- Cart page — before the cart table, after cart totals, on the empty cart page.
- Shortcode — [shapedrecommend id="…"] anywhere in posts, pages or widgets.
How Products Are Chosen — Rules
Set your own Rules — category, tags, price, stock and more — and ShapedRecommend automatically fetches the products that match them. Or pick products manually.
Filters — Control Exactly Which Products Appear
Narrow every recommendation with filters. Combine as many as you need.
- Category and Tag — include or exclude.
- On sale, In stock and Featured products.
- Price — under, over or between two prices.
- AND groups — every rule in a group must match.
Sorting — Rank the Best Products First
Sort rules decide which products appear first. Add more than one rule to break ties.
- Frequently bought together strength.
- Popularity — best sellers over a time window: 7, 14, 30 or 90 days, 6 or 12 months, or all time.
- Price — low to high or high to low.
Pinned Products — Always Show Your Hero Items
Pin your own products to fixed positions — a new launch, a hero product or a high-margin item — and let the rules and sorting fill the rest of the block automatically.
Analytics — See the Revenue Each Recommendation Earns
- KPI tiles — gross sales, net sales, items sold and orders.
- Sales chart with comparison to the previous period.
- Per-recommendation table — views, click-through rate, conversions and revenue.
Recommendation Manager — No Stacked or Repeated Offers
When several recommendations can show on the same page, the Recommendation Manager keeps your store clean and fast.
- No repeated products — a product never appears in two blocks on one page.
- Limit blocks per page and products per block.
- Limit recommendations per session — avoid recommendation fatigue.
Display Styles & Device Targeting — Grid and List
- Grid — product cards in rows.
- List — compact rows, perfect for the cart.
- Per-device columns — set columns for desktop, tablet and mobile separately.
- Device display rule — turn on Display Conditions to show a recommendation only on desktop, tablet or mobile.
Perfect For
- Fashion and apparel stores — “Complete the look” cross-sells and size-ready upsells.
- Electronics and gadget stores — accessories, chargers and cases as Frequently Bought Together.
- Beauty and cosmetics — routines and refills that customers buy together.
- Grocery and food stores — basket fillers and best sellers in the cart.
- Home, furniture and decor — matching items and premium alternatives.
- Any WooCommerce store that wants a higher average order value without more ad spend.
