Display WooCommerce Related Products by Current Category and Tags

If you're running an online store with WooCommerce, showcasing related products effectively can significantly enhance user experience and boost sales. By default, WooCommerce recommends products that are related based on categories and tags. However, you might want to take control over how these related products are displayed, specifically filtering them to show only items from the same category or with similar tags. In this post, we’ll dive into how to accomplish this, providing both a simple explanation and the code necessary to implement this functionality.

Understanding the Default Behavior of WooCommerce

WooCommerce is designed to automatically display related products based on the current product's categories and tags. So, if you're wondering why your related products don’t seem to match your expectations, it’s important to understand that they’re automatically fetched from the same terms—categories or tags—assigned to the product the customer is currently viewing.

Customizing Related Products

If you need more refining of how related products are displayed, you can customize this behavior by using certain filters available in WooCommerce. This will allow you to showcase products more relevant to your current selection.

Step-by-Step Guide to Customization

Here’s how to tailor the related products to show only items that match the current product's category and tags:

1. Create a Custom Function

You can start by creating a custom function to fetch related products based on the current product's category and tags.

These filters return the current IDs of product categories and tags, providing you more control and specificity over which related products are displayed.

Conclusion

When it comes to optimizing your WooCommerce site, having control over what related products to display can greatly affect your sales performance. By using the method outlined above, you can ensure that customers are receiving recommendations that are not only relevant but also tailored to their current selections. Remember to test your code in a staging environment before going live to ensure everything runs smoothly.
