Distinguish between Related Products, Upsells & Cross-sells

Related products are displayed on the single product page where, in most cases, written “Related products” to promote products that share the same tags or categories with the main item that is being viewed.

Upsells are products that come in a higher, better version than the one being viewed. Upsells are often considered the “upgraded” version of the current one with better quality and a higher price. When people choose an upsell item, the better version will replace the current one so customers might end up comparing and choosing to buy a more expensive item.

Cross-sells are complementary products that are often bought with or can go well with the main item. Customers can choose to purchase a combo of items to enjoy the discount or get better suggestions of what will come in handy when they purchase more items. Cross-sell products are displayed on the mini-cart and cart page to remind buyers of what they might have forgotten to get.

If you use the WPC Custom Related Products plugin, you can find the Related products tab on the single product page to customize the item list. Linked products can be found on the Linked products tab. The global rules can be configured from under the WPClever menu.

Which to use?

When you need to automatically create related products from items that share the same tags or categories or define a hand-picked list of choices, you can use the WPC Custom Related Products plugin.

When you need to take it to a higher level by suggesting more discounts when people purchase the related products alongside the main one, you can use the WPC Frequently Bought Together plugin and make related products the default products for Bought Together deal.

When you need to create a custom list of up-sells or cross-sells and attach to different products at the same time in bulk, you can use this WPC Smart Linked Products plugin to deal with that.

Combined Source (Premium)

There are 10 sources available in both versions: free and Premium. The Combined source is only accessible in the Premium version of this plugin. It’s the most advanced source type at user’s proposals.

• All products – storewide
• Products: selected products
• Types: for example “simple”, “variable”, “woosb” etc.
• Brands (using WPC Brands for WooCommerce plugin)
• Collections (using WPC Smart Product Collections for WooCommerce plugin)
• Tags
• Categories
• Product visibility
• Product shipping classes
• Product attributes

Normally, users can only choose one type of source to pull products and link them to the main ones. In the Premium version, users can set up a combination of sources to define the main product and the linked products in the most complicated & efficient way. Both main products and linked products can be specially described in this source.

Some cases of combined sources:

• Add all products under the two categories “2023’s Spring Collection” & “New arrivals” as upsells to smart bundles in the 2023 collection.
• Add all products with the tag “Combo” to be the cross-sells of all items under the “Hot Deals” category that are smart grouped products.
• All simple products in the store will have a custom version from brands A & B as up-sells, which is put under the tag “Custom”
• All products that have red, blue, and green colors in the collection “Editor’s Choice” are linked to one another as cross-sells, except out of stock and excluded from search items.
