This unique module automatically suggests products customers might be interested in, providing a "customers who bought this also bought" type of functionality. It analyzes a product, or even an entire basket, and, based on previous purchases containing the same items and relevancy options, calculates the top X most related products.
Related products may be displayed on the product, basket, and/or first checkout pages. All the familiar display options for line-item vs expanded display, optional fields, etc., as well as additional display options, are configurable separately for each page.
Recent versions of the module now add a new Template Formatting feature. This works similar to our Page Template modules, allowing you to have complete control over the formatting of the related products. A separate template may be configured for each of the three pages.
How it works: When first installed the module queries any existing orders on your server and builds a related products index. This index is updated as new orders are placed, making the module continually "smarter" at suggesting products over time. By default, it prioritizes based on count. The more times customers have ordered a product in combination with another product, the higher the priority on the related products list. You can change the priority to price, ascending or descending, so higher or lower priced items are pushed first. The sorting options may be adjusted for each page independently. The real power of the module lies in the ability to apply this logic to an entire basket, determining the most likely products a customer will also purchase. If using Merchant's inventory tracking feature, you can also filter products so that only those with a quantity greater than X are displayed.
