What it does
Some products only make sense with something else attached. A repair service may need a specific part, a device may call for a warranty, and a subscription may come with a mandatory add-on. Relying on shoppers to remember these items leads to incomplete orders. This plugin lets you set those dependencies on the product itself, so the companion items are placed in the cart at the same moment as the main product, using the normal WooCommerce add-to-cart flow.
You choose between two link types. Normal force sells are added in matching quantities, and the customer can still remove or change them in the cart. Synced force sells are tied to the main product: their quantity follows any change to the main item, they cannot be removed on their own, and they are labeled as linked in the cart. Synced items also appear in the main product's added-to-cart message instead of separate notices. The extension requires WooCommerce and works with High Performance Order Storage.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling products with required parts
- Shops pairing devices with accessories or warranties
- Service or subscription stores with mandatory add-ons
Features
Automatic product linking
Connect related or required products to a main item so they are added to the cart together whenever a shopper adds that product.
Normal force sells
Linked products are added in matching quantities, while customers keep the option to remove them or change their quantities in the cart.
Synced force sells
Lock linked products to the main item so they cannot be removed or changed separately, which suits required parts, warranties and mandatory add-ons.
Quantity synchronization
When a customer changes the quantity of the main product, the quantity of its synced force sell items updates automatically to match.
Linked labels in the cart
Synced force sells are marked as linked in the cart, so shoppers can see why those items are there and how they relate.
Combined cart notices
Synced items are listed in the main product's added-to-cart message, and a filter called wc_force_sell_show_item_notices restores per-item notices if you prefer them.
HPOS compatibility
The extension works with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage, so it fits stores that have switched to that order storage system.

Questions about WooCommerce Force Sells
What is the difference between normal and synced force sells?
Normal force sells add linked products in matching quantities, but customers can remove or adjust them in the cart. Synced force sells are locked to the main product, so their quantity follows the main item and they cannot be removed separately.
Can customers take a linked product out of their cart?
It depends on the link type you choose. Items set as normal force sells can be removed or changed by the customer. Items set as synced force sells stay attached to the main product and are labeled as linked in the cart.
Does this plugin need WooCommerce?
Yes. It is a WooCommerce extension and requires WooCommerce to run. It works within the standard WooCommerce cart and add-to-cart flow and is compatible with High Performance Order Storage.
Will shoppers see a separate notice for every linked item?
By default, synced force sells are included in the main product's added-to-cart message instead of showing one notice per item. Developers can use the wc_force_sell_show_item_notices filter to bring back individual notices.
