Description
Requires WooCommerce 9.1 or later. Tested with WooCommerce 11.2.1.
Frequently bought together, similar products, customers also bought, cart recommendations and browser-only recently viewed products. Recommendations are calculated locally. Supports WooCommerce HPOS, classic carts and Cart blocks.
Manual links, lift with minimum support, weighted attribute similarity and category bestsellers form a configurable fallback chain. Product cards use the theme’s WooCommerce loop. Shortcode: [inference_recommendations type=”similar” product=”123″].
Pro adds bundle discounts, recommendation rules, additional placements, revenue attribution, A/B tests and weekly reports. See plans and pricing; the “Pro” tab in the plugin links there too.
Privacy
The free version does not send any data outside your store. Recently viewed product IDs (up to 20) remain in browser localStorage, with no cookies or server-side profile. Statistics contain daily widget and strategy totals only. No customer data is stored in recommendation reports.
Licensed Pro optionally attributes recommendation clicks through the WooCommerce session and order item metadata. The optional 7-day first-party attribution cookie is off by default. Enabled A/B tests use a random first-party identifier for up to 30 days; experiment tables store its keyed hash, arm and conversion links. The optional weekly email is off by default and goes to the store administrator. Configure these features and your store privacy disclosures before enabling them. Cloud is not contacted.
External services
The physical Free package contains no external service client. The premium edition includes Freemius for license activation, subscriptions and updates. Freemius: https://freemius.com/terms/ and https://freemius.com/privacy/ . Cloud is not included or contacted in this version.

FAQ
-
Which order statuses are included?
-
The default follows WooCommerce paid statuses, including changes made by other plugins. Choose any registered statuses in Inference Works > Recommendations > Data. The same selection controls order pairs, revenue attribution and A/B conversions. Dry-run reports counts for every registered status, including excluded and zero-count statuses.
-
Is suggested privacy-policy text available?
-
Yes. The WordPress Privacy Policy Guide includes Polish and English text describing the exact browser-storage keys, purposes and retention periods. The language follows the administrator interface. Browser identifiers are pseudonymous; recommendation records contain no names, email addresses, delivery addresses or payment details.
-
Are variable products supported?
-
Variable products link to their product page. The multi-product add action includes only simple products that require no attribute choices.
-
Can a theme override templates?
-
Copy templates/widget.php to your-theme/inference-works-recommendations-for-woocommerce/widget.php. The previous inference-recommendations theme directory remains a fallback.
