What Types of Products Can I Suggest Using Cross Selling PRO?
Cross Selling Pro empowers online store owners with 14 types of automated product suggestions to engage customers and enhance sales. These recommendations help customers discover relevant items, driving higher conversions and improving their shopping experience. To make things even clearer, let’s explore how each suggestion type could work for an online women's fashion store named Camellia Studio.
The 14 types of product suggestions
Here’s a list of all the product suggestion types supported by Cross Selling PRO, along with configuration tips to help you get the most out of them:
| Suggestion type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Trending products | Products that have the highest sales during a specific period. Configuration tip: set the “Trending period” in the setting popup to define the time frame for trending products. For example, you can choose to show trending products form the past 7 days or 30 days. | At Camellia Studio, if dresses like “Floral Maxi Dress” and “Velvet Evening Gown” are top sellers this month, they will appear in the "Trending Products" block. |
| Most viewed products | Products that are frequently viewed by visitors. Use case: Highlights items that attract the most attention to increase conversions. | The “Classic White Blouse” and “Denim A-Line Skirt” received the most page views last week, so they are highlighted as "Most Viewed Products". |
| Top-rated products | Products with the highest customer ratings are prioritized. Configuration tip: Ensure your products have reviews enabled so customers can rate them. | Items like the “Woolen Scarf” with 4.9 stars and “Lace Cocktail Dress” with 4.8 stars make it into the "Top-Rated Products" block. |
| You might also like | Suggestions based on a customer's activity, such as products in their cart or viewed recently.
| If a customer is browsing “Leather Handbags”, they might see related items like “Gold Chain Necklace” or “Block Heel Sandals”. |
| Popular products | Items frequently purchased or trending among customers. | At Camellia Studio, “High-Waisted Trousers” and “Ankle Boots” are crowd favorites, appearing in the "Popular Products" block. |
| Featured products | Handpicked products promoted by the store owner. Configuration tip: Choose featured products in the module settings or PrestaShop’s featured product configuration. | The store highlights “Limited Edition Spring Collection” as featured products to boost visibility. |
| Viewed products | Products recently viewed by the same customer. Use case: Allows customers to revisit products they might have forgotten to add to their cart. | If a customer viewed “Polka Dot Midi Dress” and “Suede Pumps”, these items appear in their "Viewed Products" block. |
| Best-selling products | Products with the highest total sales. Use case: Encourages customers to purchase items that others frequently buy. | At Camellia Studio, “Oversized Knit Sweater” and “Chiffon Blouse” lead the charts as best-sellers. |

| Special products | Products on sale or with discounts. Use case: Highlight limited-time offers to create urgency. | Discounted items like “Summer Sandals - 20% OFF” and “Boho Maxi Dress - Buy 1 Get 1 Free” are displayed here. |
| Frequently purchased together products | Bundles of products that are often bought together. Configuration tip: Use this feature to promote cross-selling bundles, such as a phone and its accessories. | Customers buying “Formal Blazer” often pair it with “Tailored Pants” or “Silk Tie”, making them ideal for this block. |
