The WooCommerce Force Sells extension is a tool that allows you to create product relationships in your online store. Specifically, it enables you to link products together, ensuring that they are added to the customer’s cart simultaneously. This functionality is particularly useful for scenarios where certain products or services are required or recommended alongside another product.
Key features of the WooCommerce Force Sells extension include:
- Linking Products: You can establish relationships between products, ensuring that when a customer adds one product to their cart, the linked products (force sells) are automatically included as well.
- Two Types of Force Sells:
- Normal Force Sells: These products are added to the cart along with the main product, in the same quantity selected for the main product. Customers can remove normal force sell products or adjust their quantities in the cart.
- Synced Force Sells: Similar to normal force sells, synced force sell products are added to the cart with the main product. However, customers cannot remove synced force sell products or change their quantities. If the main product is removed, synced force sell products are also removed. Similarly, changes in the quantity of the main product affect the synced force sell products.
- Use Cases: The extension is particularly handy for scenarios where specific products or services are complementary or necessary for the main product. For example, if you are selling a service such as iPad glass repair, you can force-sell a new glass window as an additional required product.
- Enhanced Cart Management: Customers have control over normal force sell products in the cart, allowing them to remove or adjust quantities. Synced force sell products, on the other hand, are tied to the main product’s presence and quantity changes.
By utilizing the WooCommerce Force Sells extension, you can improve your online store’s user experience, guide customers to relevant products, and potentially increase sales by offering complementary items.
