Related products

Some products complement each other well and it’s best to buy them together. Use the related products feature to display the You may also like section in your online store as well as to cross-sell products in the cart. This feature helps you promote certain products and encourages customers to buy more.

To add related products inside individual product pages:

  1. From your store admin, go to Catalog → Products.
  2. Open the product page where you wish to recommend related products.
  3. Open the Related Products tab:

Display specific related products

  1. Click + Add Products.
  2. In the popup, check the products you want to show as related.
  3. Check off the Link back selected items as related to this product option if you want to cross-link the product with its related products, so that it appears on their pages, too.

  5. Click Save.

Display random products from a category

  1. Click + Add Products.
  2. In the popup, check the 5 random products from catalog option.

“You May Also Like” is just a suggestion. You can use "Customers also bought" or any other phrase to fit the voice of your online store. Learn how to modify texts in your store →

You can remove the You may also like section from checkout if you don't need an order bump there. For that, choose "On product details page only" in Settings → General → Cart & Checkout → Related products.

You can also enable the "Order confirmation with related products" automated email to display related products in all customer order confirmation emails. For products that don't have related products assigned, your store will pick random related products.
