Practical Examples

Example 1: Bought Together as extra products

In this deal, Bought Together items are added as extra products. Customers can enjoy a great discount when buying at least one unit of each associated product alongside the main one. Plus, buyers can get a discount of 20% for the main product as well.

Open the Bought Together tab, search by keyword then add products to the line.
Default quantities: 1-2-1.

Custom Quantity is enabled.
Use default quantity as Min, Max: 3.
Discount: 20.
Check all by default: to show the main product’s discounts when choosing Bought Together items.

Note: Here we use a smart bundle as the main product. The main product can be of any type: simple product, variable product, subscription product, smart bundle, grouped product, or composite product.

There items are added as Bought Together products:
– A simple product x 1: $16 $7.20 (55% discount) -> enter “45%”
– A variable product x 2: $43 $40 ($3 discount) -> enter “40”
– A specific variation x 1: $45 (no discount) -> 100%

Example 2: Bought Together as separate products

Open the Bought Together tab, search by keyword then add products to the line.
Add Separately is checked/enabled.
Sync Quantity is enabled.

Note: Here we use a smart bundle as the main product. The main product can be of any type: simple product, variable product, subscription product, smart bundle, grouped product, or composite product.

There items are added as Bought Together products:
– A simple product x 1.
– A variable product x 2.
– A specific variation x 1.

Even when you put a percentage discount in the Discount box, no discount will be applied to the main product in the front end when “Add separately” is enabled.

Example 3: Bought Together as free or low-price items

Example 4: Bought Together with radio buttons

When you would like to use the radio buttons interface for Bought Together items, there are two things you should bear in mind:

Make sure you have chosen “Use WPC Variations Radio Buttons” for the “Selector interface” option from Bought Together plugin settings.
In the Radio Buttons tab of each variable product page, choose Radio Buttons as the main type for the selector interface.

Note: Different variable products in a Bought Together list can use different interfaces. With products that have too many variations to display, it’s recommended to either choose ddSlick, HTML tags, or Select2 to display a neat drop-down in the front-end.

Example 5: Bought Together in a Smart Bundle

In this deal, the main product is a smart bundle of tables and chairs. We can use WPC Frequently Bought Together to add extra services or products. Here we offer the repair and maintenance services. In addition to the main product (smart bundle), buyers can choose to either get an entailed service: 6-month support for $20, 12-month support for $35, 24-month support for $70.

When customers can only choose one of the additional given choices, it’s necessary to use the WPC Variation Radio Buttons to display all available options and limit the choice at the same time.

Create a variable product with 1 attribute: Month & 3 variations: 6, 12, 24. If you don’t want it to show up in the shop archive, kindly adjust its Catalogue Visibility to Hidden.
Make sure you have chosen “Use WPC Variations Radio Buttons” for the Selector interface option from Bought Together plugin settings.
In the Radio Buttons tab of that variable product page, choose Radio Buttons type for the selector interface.
Open the Bought Together tab of the main product page, search by keyword then add the newly created variable product to the line.
Add Separately must be unchecked/disabled.

Example 6: Bought Together in a Smart Grouped Product

Technically, WPC Grouped Product doesn’t allow any kind of discounts to be added from within the plugin. In case you would like to add additional products to a smart grouped product, you can also use the feature “Discount” from the WPC Bought Together plugin to give a discount for the main product when buyers buy at least 1 item from the Bought Together list.

Open the Bought Together tab of Smart Grouped Product page, search by keyword then add products to the line.
Add Separately must be unchecked/disabled.
Discount: 10% for the main product.
