Offer Conditional, Category Based Cross-Sells

This guide shows you how to use WooCommerce Product Recommendations to offer conditional, category-based recommendations in your store’s Cart page. As an example, we will create a Summer Essentials block of product recommendations that:

• contains products from the Summer Accessories and Suncare categories that cost below 50€; and
• is displayed when the cart contains products from the Swimwear category.

• WooCommerce
• WooCommerce Product Recommendations
• Storefront

1. Create an Engine
   • Go to WooCommerce > Recommendations > Engines and click Create new.
   • Under Title, enter “Summer Essentials”.
   • Choose the Generic Engine Type.
2. Add Filters
   • Locate the Filters section in the Engine Configuration panel.
   • Add a Category Filter.
   • Select in.
   • Add the Summer Accessories and Suncare categories in the last field.
   • Add a Price Filter.
   • Select <= and enter 50 to recommend products cheaper than 50€.
3. Add Amplifiers
   • Go to the Amplifiers section.
   • Add a Popularity Amplifier.
   • In the first dropdown, select high to low.
   • In the second one, choose a time interval, for example last 30 days, to favor top-selling products ordered in this period.
   • Add a Rating Amplifier.
   • Select high to low to favor products with higher ratings.
   • Add a Price Amplifier.
   • Select low to high to favor cheaper products.
   Use the +/- buttons to increase/decrease the relative weight of the Amplifiers you just added.
4. Save the EngineClick the Create button to save the Engine you just configured.

   • Click the Deploy button.
2. Configure Display Settings
   • In the Title field, enter “Summer Essentials”. This will be displayed above the recommended products.
   • Select a number of Product columns and Product rows for the product recommendations. Here we selected 3 columns and 2 rows.
3. Choose LocationSelect the Location where you’d like the recommendations to appear. To display the recommendations in the cart collaterals area, choose Cart > Cart Collaterals.
4. Add Visibility ConditionsTo display the “Summer Essentials” recommendations when products from the Swimwear category exist in the cart, add a Visibility Condition:
   • Go to the Visibility Conditions section.
   • Add a Category condition.
   • Select in cart.
   • Add one or more categories in the last field. Here, we added the Swimwear category.
   • Add a Cart item value condition.
   • Select max item price >=.
   • Enter a value in the last field, for example 50. This ensures that the recommendations will be displayed only if the cart contains at least one item priced higher than $50.
