Widget Placement Options for Frequently Bought Together

The Frequently Bought Together section doesn’t have to sit in one fixed spot. You can choose where it appears on the product page, and you can choose a different spot for each product.

This guide covers the five available placements, how to change them, and how to pick the one that suits your store.

How It Works

Placement is a per-product setting. It lives alongside the rest of the Frequently Bought Together options, so you can position the section wherever it works best for that particular product.

• Five placements are available. Four add the section to a set spot on the single product page, and Shortcode lets you place it yourself.
• The setting applies to one product at a time.
• Changing it moves the section without changing anything about how it behaves.

Your theme controls how a product page is laid out, so the exact spot each option lands in follows your theme’s own structure.

Changing the Placement

Step 1. Go to Products and open the product you want to change.

Step 2. Scroll to the Product data box and click the Frequently Bought Together tab.

Step 3. Find Widget placement at the bottom of the panel and pick the spot you want.

Step 4. Click Update, then open the product page to see the result.

The Five Placements

Each option puts the section in a different part of the product page.

• After Add-to-Cart button – directly beneath the Add to Cart button. This is the default.
• Below title – high up in the product summary, right after the product name.
• Below price – in the product summary, after the price.
• Below summary – underneath the whole summary column, further down the page.
• Shortcode – wherever you add the [wcf_frequently_bought_together] shortcode, such as a page builder product template.

After Add-to-Cart button

The section sits immediately under the Add to Cart button, so shoppers meet it at the exact moment they’re deciding to buy. This is the default and the one most stores keep.

Below title and Below price

Both of these put the section up in the summary area, above the product description. Shoppers see the suggestions without scrolling, which suits products where the add-ons matter as much as the main item.

The trade-off is that the section pushes the Add to Cart button further down the page.

Below summary

The section moves out of the summary column and sits lower down the page, near the description. Shoppers reach it after they’ve read through the product details, so it feels less like an interruption.

Shortcode

Choose Shortcode when your product pages are built with a page builder template, such as Elementor, Bricks, Divi or the Block Editor. CartFlows then stops adding the section automatically, and it appears only where you place the shortcode.

Step 1. Set Widget placement to Shortcode and click Update. The panel shows the shortcode to use.

Step 2. Open your single product template in your page builder.

Step 3. Add a Shortcode element where you want the section, and paste [wcf_frequently_bought_together].

Step 4. Save the template and open a product page to check the result.

The shortcode picks up the product being viewed, so one template works for all your products. To show a specific product’s section somewhere else, such as a landing page, add its ID: [wcf_frequently_bought_together product_id="123"].

How Your Theme Affects the Result

Themes build product pages in different ways, so the same option can land in slightly different spots from one theme to the next.

Two things are worth knowing:

• On some themes, Below title and Below price land in the same place, because the theme shows the title and price together as one block.
• On themes that arrange the summary their own way, CartFlows adjusts to match, so the section still lands where the option describes rather than at the bottom of everything.

The reliable approach is to pick an option, save, and view the product page. Switching to a different option takes only a moment if the first one isn’t right.

If your page builder template doesn’t show the section in the spot you want, use Shortcode to place it yourself.

Choosing the Right Spot

There’s no single best answer, so it’s worth thinking about the product.

• Pick After Add-to-Cart button when the add-ons are a natural extra at the point of purchase, such as accessories or refills.
• Pick Below title or Below price when the companions are part of the decision itself, such as a starter kit or a matching set.
• Pick Below summary for higher-priced products where shoppers read the details first and you’d rather not crowd the Add to Cart button.
• Pick Shortcode when your product pages use a page builder template, or when you want the section in a spot the other options don’t reach.

You can mix these across your catalog. Nothing forces the whole store to use the same spot.
