How Product Recommendations Feature Works

Modern Cart for WooCommerce includes a built-in product recommendation feature designed to help increase your Average Order Value (AOV). This feature automatically suggests additional products to customers as they interact with their cart, helping them discover more while boosting potential sales.

This documentation explains how the “Increase AOV with Product Recommendations” feature works and how to configure it using WooCommerce’s built-in upsell and cross-sell settings.

How the Feature Works

The Increase AOV with Product Recommendations setting allows you to control how suggested products are displayed in the cart tray.

You can access this setting by navigating to: WooCommerce > Modern Cart > General Settings

This option includes three available modes:

  1. Disable – Turns off the product recommendation feature.
  2. From Upsell – Displays upsell products configured in WooCommerce for the item added to the cart.
  3. From Cross Sells – Displays cross-sell products configured in WooCommerce for the item added to the cart.

Backend view – General Settings panel

If a product added to the cart has no upsell or cross-sell items configured, Modern Cart will automatically display random simple products instead.

Note: This feature only works with Simple Products.
