Carousels are rendered via lightweight AJAX so they never slow down your page load. ### Free Features * Hybrid recommendation engine (collaborative 80% + content-based 20%) * Product page carousel widget (configurable hook & priority) * Cart page carousel widget * View tracking (logged-in + guest users) * Purchase tracking via WooCommerce order hooks * Anonymous guest cookie session (30-day, httpOnly, SameSite) * Recommendation cache with configurable TTL and scheduled cleanup * `[smartrec_recommendations]` shortcode * Admin dashboard with live stats (views, purchases, cache entries) * One-click cache flush * Settings: title, limit, columns, hook, cache TTL ### Pro Features Upgrade at https://techlabindia.com/smartrec-ai/ for: * **AI Re-ranking** – GPT-4o-mini + Claude Haiku re-rank results for each user. * **A/B Testing** – 50/50 split between hybrid and content-based algorithms with statistical reporting. * **Advanced Analytics** – Impressions, clicks, CTR, and revenue attribution per recommendation widget. * **Email Blocks** – Inject personalised recommendation rows into WooCommerce order emails. * **REST API** – `GET /wp-json/smartrec/v1/recommendations/{product_id}` * **Checkout Widget** – Show relevant recommendations on the checkout page. * **Annual Licence System** – Activate your licence key inside WordPress. ## Installation 1. Upload the `smartrec-ai` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through **Plugins Installed Plugins**. 3. Go to **SmartRec AI Settings** to configure your widget title, limit, and grid columns. 4. The product-page and cart-page carousels are enabled automatically. 5. Optionally place `[smartrec_recommendations]` anywhere in your content. ## FAQ ### Does it work with no purchase/view history? Yes. When there is insufficient behavioural data the plugin automatically falls back to your top-selling products so the widget is never empty. ### Is it GDPR-compliant? Guest tracking uses an anonymous, httpOnly session cookie. No personal data (name, email, IP) is stored in the tracking tables. ### Can I place the carousel anywhere? Yes — use the shortcode `[smartrec_recommendations product_id="42" limit="8" title ="Customers Also Bought"]`. The `product_id` attribute is optional; it defaults to the current post. ### Which WordPress hooks are supported for the product widget? woocommerce_after_single_product_summary (default), `woocommerce_after_single_product`, and `woocommerce_before_single_product`. Selectable in Settings. ### How do I increase recommendation freshness? Lower the Cache TTL in Settings (minimum 60 seconds). The scheduled cleanup cron runs hourly. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “TechLabIndia Hybrid Recommender for WooCommerce” is open source software.
