<h2>Upsells and cross-sells with a pinch of intelligence</h2>
<p>Ever noticed how the most successful stores leverage the power of product recommendations? When done right, upsells and cross-sells deliver a more engaging experience to your visitors — the kind of experience that not only helps them find products they like, but also keeps them coming back.</p>
<p>Fortunately, you don’t need a team of machine learning specialists to get started. <strong>Product Recommendations</strong> is a state-of-the-art product recommendations platform for WooCommerce that brings together human intelligence and machine learning, with one goal: To help you grow your sales.</p>
<h3>Let technology do the heavy lifting for you</h3>
<p>Build intelligent engines that generate automated, accurate <a title="Recommend products that are frequently bought together." href="https://woocommerce.com/document/product-recommendations/recommendation-strategies/offer-frequently-bought-together-recommendations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Frequently Bought Together</a> recommendations, with near-zero waiting or training. Our lightweight search algorithm analyzes your orders to discover meaningful product relationships, and quickly adapts itself to new trends and seasonal patterns.</p>

<h3>Add recommendations across your entire catalog, effortlessly</h3>
<p>Ever tried to manually add upsells and cross-sells to every product or category page of your store? With <strong>Product Recommendations</strong>, you can do both in minutes. Create upsells and cross-sells in bulk, instead of entering products one by one. Add category, attribute, tag, or price <strong>filters</strong> to narrow down products, and use <strong>amplifiers</strong> to boost specific results based on popularity, rating, creation date, conversion rate, or more advanced criteria.</p>
<p>Looking for a way to recommend products from the currently viewed category, or brand? Want to limit results to products that cost more than the currently viewed product? No problem! <strong>Product Recommendations</strong> lets you deploy context-aware recommendations, faster.</p>
