How Do I Change Related Products in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 15, 2023 @ 10:56 am

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you’ve probably noticed that the related products section is a great way to upsell your customers on products that complement what they’re already buying. But what if you want to change what products are being displayed in this section?

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Custom Related Products plugin. Once you’ve done that, head over to the ‘Related Products’ tab in your WooCommerce settings.

From here, you can choose to display related products by:

  • Default – this will show products that are related by tags and categories
  • Up-sells – these are products that you’ve specifically chosen to upsell
  • Cross-sells – these are products that complement the product your customer is buying
  • Manual selection – this allows you to handpick which products are displayed as related

If you want more control over which products are being displayed, then choosing the ‘manual selection’ option is probably your best bet. You can then select which products are shown on a per-product basis.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when changing related products in WooCommerce, you could break your site. Make sure to back up your site before making any changes.

And that’s all there is to it! By default, WooCommerce will show related products that are determined by tags and categories.

But if you want more control over what’s being displayed, then using a plugin like “WooCommerce Custom Related Products” is a great way to do that.
