What is Related Products?
We’ve all been there. You land on a product page, convinced you've found exactly what you need. But then, you scroll down and a carousel of intriguing alternatives catches your eye.
Ever stop to think about what's actually going on there?
It's just a gallery of other products but that little box is one of the most powerful tools on your entire website.

Too many store owners see this as just a decorative row of pictures. Big mistake. That little section is your 24/7 sales associate, and it's brilliant at its job. When a customer is hesitant, it can show them a similar item that might be the perfect fit, saving a sale you were about to lose.
And for the customer who's ready to buy, it can suggest the perfect accessory or complementary item, effortlessly increasing the value of their order.
That's why we create the Related Product features to turn that simple product gallery into a powerful sales-boosting machine. Let's get started.
