CM Context Related Product Recommendations Plugin for WordPress

Our WordPress Product Recommendations plugin helps you add recommended products to your posts based on custom keywords and defined terms.

    WordPress Product Recommendations Plugin Description

    The Contextual Product Recommendations Plugin lets you add a related products widget to any post on your WordPress site. This related products WordPress plugin makes it easy to recommend products and refer blog readers to them from your store.

    Recommendations Widget

    This product recommendations plugin lets users show products and related items on any page or post within WordPress. The product recommendations can act as a cross sell products widget and create a database of related products for users to see.    		 Recommended Products Showing at the Bottom of the Post

    The Product Recommendations plugin also lets you create categories and filter products shown in the product widget based on the selected category.

    Product Recommendation Plugin Appearance

    Product recommendations can show up below your post, or anywhere within the post content by using a simple shortcode. The product recommendation is shown in three ways:

    1. Recommendations Widget – A widget which includes several related product images. The product images are linked to the product page on your WordPress site or an external site. See an example here.
    2. Linked Terms – Each term associated with the product within the post can be linked to a product page or an external site link. Each product can have an unlimited number of terms and synonyms associated with it. Once a term is defined, the recommendation for the product is shown in the post, when the term appears in the post.
    3. Affiliate Code – You can also include an affiliate code in the product URL to earn commission on external sites.

    Contextual Terms for Product Recommendations

    Product Term Definition

    Contextual terms for product recommendations are defined using a primary term and synonyms. You can define an unlimited number of synonyms per product and one primary product term.

    When the primary or synonymous terms are found within your content, the product will be shown in the widget.

    If there are too many relevant products which can appear in the widget of a specific post, the plugin will randomly pick the amount of products that can fit into the widget based on user settings while giving priority to products with higher weight.

    You can filter the product recommendations by using categories. When limiting the products shown in a specific post to a category, only certain products which belong to that category will appear in the post.
