Show Cross-Sells First in WooCommerce: Customize Your Related Products Section

When crafting an effective e-commerce website using WooCommerce, enhancing the shopping experience for your customers is crucial. One area that can substantially impact user engagement and sales is the related products section. While WooCommerce typically shows related products randomly or based on tags, there are scenarios where you might want to showcase certain products first—specifically, your cross-sell products. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to modify the related products section in WooCommerce so that:

If a product has cross-sell products, those will be displayed first.

If a product has no cross-sell products, it gracefully falls back to showing products from the same category, filling out to a total of four products.

Understanding the Customization Needs

Before we dive into the code, let’s understand a couple of problems you might be facing:

Displaying Only Cross-Sells: If you have cross-sell products set, you only see those without filling in the empty slots with category products.

Correct Order of Display: You want cross-sells to display first and then fill in category products. However, WooCommerce seems to have its own randomization elsewhere in the process.

The Solution: Custom Code Implementation

With these requirements in mind, we can create a custom function to modify the related products. Below, we’ll break down the necessary code step by step.

Step 1: Fetching the Cross-Sell Products

First, we need to check if the product has cross-sell products and then fetch those product IDs:

Step 2: Ensuring Correct Order of Display

Next, we need to ensure the display order is appropriate by sorting the related products correctly. We can set the sorting parameters to ensure that WooCommerce lists them in a predictable order:

Conclusion

By implementing the above code snippets, you can enhance the related products section on your WooCommerce site, providing a better shopping experience by showing relevant cross-sell products first. This tweak not only helps in making the shopping experience seamless but also boosts the chances of additional sales through cross-selling.

Now, your WooCommerce store is more capable of guiding customers towards products they are more likely to purchase, making shopping easier and more enjoyable!
