¶ AI Similar and Recommended Products
The "AI Similar Products" plugin in Fynode is an intelligent solution for automated cross-sell and up-sell in your e-shop. The system analyzes purchasing behavior and recommends relevant products that customers are most likely to purchase additionally. This functionality aims to increase the average order value and improve the customer experience.
Artificial intelligence automatically analyzes orders from the last six months in your e-shop. It tracks which products are bought together, how often they appear in the same order, as well as their shared categories or subcategories. Based on these relationships, AI updates every night the "most probable similar products" in your e-shop to match actual customer behavior.
¶ 2. Activation and Usage of the Plugin
- You can find the plugin in the AI Add-ons section.
- After activation, a "Settings" panel will appear, redirecting you to detailed plugin settings.
- Above the list of plugins, you also see the current AI credit and the option to top it up.
¶ 3. Demo and Testing
- In the settings, you can test the functionality on a random product from your e-shop.
- A list of AI-generated similar products will be displayed, which would be recommended to the customer for that product.
- Clicking on "Generate Again" allows you to test recommendations with another product.
¶ 4. Plugin Options and Settings
- Relationship – Choose how similar products are related to the main product (Related Products, Up-sell, Cross-sell); the option depends on your e-shop type and its API.
- Repetition – Set the frequency of automatic recommendation recalculations (every 7, 14, or 30 days).
- Categories – Optionally, select specific categories where the plugin should operate.
- Shared Categories – If this feature is active, AI recommends only products from the same category as the main product. If disabled, recommendations can span across categories.
- Require Shared Purchase – If active, AI will recommend only products from actual shared purchases; otherwise, recommendations are based on similarity.
- Maximum Limit – Specify how many similar products should be recommended per product (1–10, default 5).
¶ 5. Managing AI Credits and Costs
- The form shows the cost per product and the total number of products, as well as the final price which the system automatically deducts from your AI credit during each plugin run.
- The cost depends on the frequency and number of products processed and updated by AI.
- Compatible platforms working with "AI Similar Products":
- WooCommerce (Up-sell, Cross-sell products)
- Ecwid, Unas, Shoprenter, Webareal (Related products)
- Magento (Related products, Up-sell, Cross-sell products)
- Not all platforms support automatic AI integration (e.g., Shoptet, PrestaShop, and Shopify do not fully support AI similar products via API).
¶ 7. Updating and Manual Import of Orders
- If you lack enough orders in the system over the last 6 months for AI to evaluate shared purchases, you can import them manually in the Orders section.
¶ 8. Automation and Usage
- AI relationships are updated according to the set recurrence – the system informs you about credit consumption and schedule.
- Recommended products are automatically displayed on the product detail page in your e-shop (according to the platform type and shop template).
AI Similar Products are a highly effective tool for increasing conversion rates and the average order value with minimal effort on your part. Regular updates ensure your e-shop recommends to customers what they are most likely to purchase additionally based on real data.
