WooCommerce gives you three built-in ways to suggest products. They look alike, but each one has a different job.
Related products
Related products help a shopper keep browsing. They are best for similar items from the same category, so a visitor who isn’t sure can compare.
Up-sells
Up-sells suggest a better or bigger version of the product being viewed. They work on the product page, before the shopper has decided.
Cross-sells
Cross-sells suggest extras that go with what is already in the cart. They belong on the cart page, when the shopper is ready to buy.
- Related: help shoppers explore.
- Up-sells: help shoppers choose the better option.
- Cross-sells: help shoppers complete the order.
Once you know the job of each one, it gets much easier to decide where it should appear.
