What it does
Digital stores often have products that belong together, such as a main item and its add-ons or a basic tier and a more complete one. Shoppers may never find those connections on their own. This plugin works inside your Easy Digital Downloads store and uses customer behavior and purchase history to pick products to suggest to each visitor, which gives you a simple way to upsell and cross-sell.
You decide where recommendations appear using widgets, shortcodes or blocks, and you can adjust the layout and styling to suit your site's design. The plugin handles variable pricing and product variations, and it includes reporting so you can see how shoppers interact with the suggestions. Developers can use hooks and filters to extend it, and custom template files are supported for more control over the output.
