<h2>How Chained Products work</h2>
<ul>
<li>Store owners “link” (add) multiple products — even in different quantities — to any existing or new product, called the “main” product.</li>
<li>When a customer buys the main product, they pay its price and automatically receive all the chained items.</li>
<li>The linked products appear in the cart and order summary.</li>
<p>For example, if a laptop is the main product, you can chain a flexible USB LED light, and laptop bag to it — all delivered together as one powerful offer.</p>

<h2>Top choice for thousands for its simplicity and flexibility</h2>
<p>Packaged deals and discounted combo products are usually the top-selling items for any WooCommerce store. When you sell related products together at a value-packed price, customers love it — and your revenue grows while slow-moving inventory clears out.</p>
<p>Chained Products for WooCommerce plugin makes it easy for you with these awesome benefits: </p>
<h3>Pre-set product bundles — no customer confusion</h3>
<p>Chained Products lets you link products together as fixed bundles. Customers can’t pick variations or customize the bundle — they either buy it as is or not at all. This removes decision fatigue and shifts their focus to price vs value — leading to faster checkouts and higher conversions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5060596" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nick-kolenda-reduce-the-pain-of-paying.png" alt="Reduce the pain of paying with bundles..." width="722" height="210" /></p>
<h3>Works with all WooCommerce product types</h3>
<p>Simple, variable, subscriptions, virtual & downloadable… the plugin works seamlessly with all product types and also with custom product types. </p>
<p>Physical products, digital downloads, memberships… sell them all, in any combination you like.</p>
<p>Pro tip: Create chained products with “related” products or “frequently bought together” items in WooCommerce – and show them as upsells / cross-sells.</p>
<h3>Flexible bundling with pricing control</h3>
<p>Link any number of products — including variations and custom quantities — to create powerful bundles.</p>
<p>You can either set a single price for the entire bundle or price each item individually, giving you full control over how your offer is structured and displayed in the cart.</p>
<p>When a customer adds the main product to the cart, all linked items appear automatically with the prices you’ve configured — either as part of the bundle or with their own individual prices</p>
<p><img class="size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Configure-Chained-Products-Simple-Products.png" alt="Setting up chained products" width="919" height="344" /></p>
<h3>Show individual chained product prices</h3>
<p>Set the main product price to zero and let the total bundle price reflect the sum of each chained item.</p>
<p>Example: In a shaving kit bundle, customers see exactly the price of each item – cream, brush, razor, and blade — no hidden costs. It also eliminates browsing multiple product pages.</p>
<p>This transparency boosts trust and increases the perceived value of the bundle, especially for comparison shoppers.</p>
<p><img class="size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cp-priced-individually-backend.png" alt="Priced individually" width="693" height="260" /></p>
<h3>Automatic inventory sync at item level</h3>
<p>Inventory is managed at the individual chained product level, not at the main product level. If any linked product is out of stock or on backorder, the main product can’t be purchased — saving you from customer complaints and order fulfillment headaches.</p>
<p>Customers will see a clear message on the chained product page if any item is available on backorder.</p>
<h3>Reuse and nest chained product bundles</h3>
<p>Chain products to a chained product. Yes, reuse existing bundles, chain a product with itself, mix-and-match different product types in a single bundle. This opens up lots of flexible ways to use the chained product plugin.</p>
<p>For example, chain a laptop with a carrying bag — and if that bag already includes a USB LED light, all three items are automatically added when the customer purchases the laptop.</p>
<p><img class="size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nested_product_backend.png" alt="Nested chained products" width="950" height="344" /></p>
<h3>Set up “Buy One Get One” or “Buy One Get More” offers</h3>
<p>Chain a product variation to create a BOGO offer (a red T-shirt chained to a blue T-shirt) or chain multiple products in multiple quantities to the main product for a Buy One Get More offer (two sets of printer papers + cartridges chained to a printer).</p>
<h3>Auto-update “chained” products in previous orders</h3>
<p>When you update linked products in the “main” product, Chained Products can automatically add/remove products from historical orders if needed. Works great for club memberships, unlimited digital downloads as well as recurring subscription box bundles.</p>
<h3>High performance – does not slow your site</h3>
<p>Chained Products does not slow down your site or checkout process. Some of the largest WooCommerce stores use it. The code quality is excellent and you too can rely on it.</p>
<h3>Shortcodes, display control, translation</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use the shortcode [chained_products] to display chained products on the product page. You can customize the display of chained products using shortcode attributes.</li>
<li>Show/hide chained items from the cart, cart widget, checkout and order. Very useful when selling assembled items and maintaining their inventory level.</li>
<li>Translate Chained Products in your language using Loco Translate or any other translation plugins</li>
</ul>
<h3>Chained Products vs other WooCommerce product bundles plugins</h3>
<p>Most bundle plugins let customers pick and choose optional add-ons. That’s not always what you want.</p>
<p>Chained Products gives store owners full control:</p>
<ul>
<li>You define exactly which products, variants, and quantities are included.</li>
<li>You decide how they’re priced.</li>
<li>You deliver a high-value offer customers can’t refuse.</li>
</ul>
<p>Perfect for high-converting combos, fixed kits, and promotional bundles — without complexity.</p>
