<h2>Use cases</h2>
<h3>Increase Conversion by Skipping the Cart Page</h3>
<p>Instead of refreshing the page and showing a notice that “Product X has been added to the cart”, you can configure the Add to Cart Redirect plugin to send the customer immediately to the checkout, skipping the additional page reloads and moving to the cart and only then the checkout.</p>
<p>Configure the Add to Cart Redirect plugin to skip additional cart page and send the customer immediately to the checkout after adding a product to the cart. Preventing the page refreshing and showing a notice that “Product X has been added to the cart”.</p>
<h3>Automatically add products to the cart</h3>
<p>Maybe you’re having a really cool promotion where you’re giving away a free product, say a basketball, if someone purchases a pair of basketball shoes. Through some nifty redirects you can configure the plugin to automatically add the basketball product to the cart.</p>
<p>If you use it in combination with the <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/url-coupons">WooCommerce URL Coupons</a> extension, you can even automatically apply coupons after adding a product to the cart.</p>
<h3 id="redirecttotermsandconditions">Redirect to Terms and Conditions</h3>
<p>Send the customer to the terms and conditions page immediately after they’ve added a product to the cart, if the product has special terms and conditions. This way, you can ensure that they read the terms before continuing with their shopping.</p>
<p><strong>Note: this extension requires WooCommerce 3.0+ in order to function.</strong></p>

Add to Cart Redirect

<p>Redirect customers directly to any page/URL after adding a product to the cart.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead.
