Magento 2 Automatic Related Products Extension

Default Magento shows related and up-sell products on the product page and cross-sell products in the shopping cart. You fill all three by hand in each product's settings.

With this extension, the same blocks fill themselves by rules, and you can add more blocks on category pages, in the customer account, in blog posts and in custom positions.

Related products raise the average order value. Shoppers often forget an item they meant to buy or don't know which accessories fit, and a short list of relevant products helps them find it.

The analytics then show which blocks bring orders, so you can drop the ones that don't.

Magento Open Source has no automatic option: related, up-sell and cross-sell products are linked by hand for each product. Adobe Commerce includes Related Product Rules, which link products by catalog conditions.

This extension adds what neither does out of the box: products picked from real orders and views (bought together, also bought, viewed together, recently viewed), extra positions on category, account and blog pages, and revenue analytics for each block.

Each block uses a rule you set up. The rule takes products from a source (bought together in one order, bought by the same customers, viewed together, recently viewed, or the whole catalog) and narrows them with conditions, for example the same category or attribute value as the current product, or a price range.

There is no machine learning involved. Behavior-based sources rank products by how often they were bought or viewed together, so the result is predictable and you can always see why a product appears. See the selection rules guide for details.

When a shopper places an order, it is credited to the last related products block they clicked. The block gets the value of only those ordered items it showed (row total with tax, minus discounts), without shipping and without the other items in the cart.

The report also shows impressions, clicks and orders for each block. There is no A/B testing: you compare blocks by these numbers.

It uses the orders and product views your store already has. By default, it looks at the last 365 days, and you can change the period in the settings. Run the reindex once after installation, and the behavior-based blocks are filled straight away. The data is updated each time the index is rebuilt, so schedule a regular reindex, for example nightly.

In a new store without history, start with catalog rules (the same category or a similar price) until enough orders come in.

Blocks are rendered on the server from a prebuilt index, so a page doesn't recalculate order history on every view, and pages with blocks work with full page cache. Click and impression tracking runs as separate lightweight requests and can be turned off for each store view.

Yes. GraphQL support comes as a separate package, mirasvit/module-related-graph-ql, which you install with Composer next to the main extension. It lets a headless storefront request the blocks and their products and send click and impression tracking.

Yes. In a Follow Up Email trigger, choose any active related products block as the source of recommended products. The email then shows the products that block would pick for the items in the order or cart.

Yes. The extension has a REST API for blocks, selection rules and block analytics, so you can create and update them from your own tools. See the extension manual for the endpoints.

Yes, they work independently. Layered Navigation filters the products in the category listing, while a related products block on a category page picks its products by its own rule. The block doesn't change when a shopper applies filters.

Yes, with the related products widget. On a page without a current product, such as the home page, the block can show products from a catalog rule or recently viewed products (a store-wide list for guests and cached pages). Sources based on the current product (bought together, also bought, viewed together) need a product page, category page or cart.

Yes. Add a condition to the rule that compares an attribute with the current product, for example the same brand, collection or category. The block then shows only products that share that value with the product on the page.

By default, blocks show only products that are in stock and available for sale. If your store displays out-of-stock products in the catalog, each block has its own Exclude out of stock option, which also applies to the native related, up-sell and cross-sell products shown in that block.

Yes, in most positions. The block with the higher priority (the lower number) goes first. Turn on Ignore subsequent blocks if you want the next block to appear only when the first one has nothing to show.

Inside a native Magento block (related, up-sell or cross-sell), only one extension block is displayed. To show several blocks, use another position, for example Product Page | Content Bottom. See it on the demo.

Yes. Link those products to the main product as native related, up-sell or cross-sell products, and turn on the option to show assigned products first in the block. The block shows them at the top and fills the remaining places by its rule.

Yes, in two ways.

You can edit the template and style files of the extension (default and "bulletproof" templates) in your theme. Back up your changes before updating the extension.

You can also add styles in the admin panel without editing files: go to Stores > Configuration > Mirasvit Extensions > Developer > CSS Settings > Additional CSS Styles. These styles apply to all blocks at once; a separate style for each block isn't possible there.

Flush the Magento cache after each change.

Yes. Besides English, the extension includes translations into 15 languages: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
