The Hot Products Plugin in WooCommerce is a valuable tool that tracks the number of times a product page has been viewed on your website. This feature provides insights into product popularity, which can guide marketing and sales strategies. By displaying the view count on product pages, in product listings, and within the admin area, store owners can quickly identify which products are attracting the most attention.
This data can be particularly useful for recognising which products might need more visibility or additional marketing efforts. It can also help determine which items may need to be restocked or are overstocked. Additionally, store owners can leverage this information to enhance cross-selling and upselling opportunities.
Moreover, the Hot Products Plugin allows store owners to evaluate the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns. If a product’s view count increases following a specific campaign, it indicates the campaign successfully drove traffic to that product.
In summary, the Hot Products Plugin is a practical tool that offers valuable data to help store owners make informed decisions about product management and marketing strategies.
Please Note: This plugin requires WooCommerce Plugin to work.

Meta for WooCommerce

Latest version as of writing, 2.6.26, causes the WooCommerce settings page to throw a fatal error. Past releases have created similar fatal errors as well, exhibiting poor development and testing prior to release.

Poor development causing crashes on WooCommerce

Ones set and forget :)
I only miss some stats.

For me good enough


I knew for a long time that this plugin is horrible and to my amaze, got out of a call with a facebook representative, they guided our specialist in installing another plugin for pixel and capi integrations! This says a lot about the quality of the plugin!



They should just scrape it and rebuild it from ground up.


even facebook staff does not use this!


You can use this plugin to serve the Data Feed but you have to build your own consent tool to add the tracker script only after the user consent.


NOT GDPR compliant!


Like many others, I've excluded certain categories but the plugin doesn't like this so they will block you from updating or creating a product in these categories.



This should be banned from the WP plugin repo.



The only two options are (1) disabling the plugin while editing the product, or (2) remove the category from exclusion while editing the product.



This makes no sense at all.



EDIT: After posting this review (originally 1-star) review, the team was very fast to address the issue that I was complaining about and changed the implementation. I now like the plugin and recommend it.


Excluding a Category Becomes a Pain


Since recently I started noticing how my entire site, especially checkout page is slow. I upgraded my hosting plan to as high as possible, but still I got the same problem. Finally, I found when debugging this single plugin is responsible for the whole site to slow down. I strongly recommend to not install this plugin as it causes your entire site to be slow even if you are on a premium hosting plan. 


It causes the checkout page to slow down

WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram help you reach more customers and drive sales with the official Meta for WooCommerce plugin.
