Appearance

Frequently Bought Together PRO ​

“Customers who bought this also bought” companions from real purchase co-occurrence.

Category: Merchandising · Enable at: Ambikly → Add-ons → Frequently Bought Together

What it does ​

A scheduled job builds a pairs table from your own order history, keeps pairs above a minimum support and scores them by lift. Product pages render the top companions automatically, or you place them with a shortcode; a public REST route serves the same data. Rebuilds are non-blocking so the storefront never shows an empty gap.

Capabilities ​

  • Rebuild on a custom N-day schedule with a rolling lookback window
  • Minimum-support threshold so one-off coincidences don’t surface
  • Score is overridable via the ambikly_recommendation_score filter
  • Companions filtered to published products that are in stock
  • Renders on product pages, via [ambikly_recommendations], and over REST
  • Manual rebuild action for store managers

Turn it on ​

  1. Make sure Ambikly Pro is active and your license is activated under Ambikly → Settings → License.
  2. Go to Ambikly → Add-ons, find Frequently Bought Together and switch it on. There is nothing else to install.
  3. Open its settings panel and set the options listed below.
  4. Visit your storefront to confirm the new surface appears: [ambikly_recommendations] shortcode.

Settings ​

Open the add-on's settings panel from Ambikly → Add-ons → Frequently Bought Together.

  • Number of recommendations
  • Minimum orders for co-occurrence
  • Rebuild every N days
  • Heading
  • Only consider orders from the last N days

Where it appears ​

On the storefront

  • [ambikly_recommendations] shortcode
  • Automatic block on product detail pages

In the admin

  • Rebuild recommendations action

For developers ​

REST routes

  • GET /ambikly-pro/v1/recommendations
  • POST /ambikly-pro/v1/recommendations/rebuild

Every route enforces the same capability checks as the rest of the API — see the REST API guide.

Core hooks it listens to

  • ambikly_pro_reco_rebuild
  • ambikly_product_detail_body
  • ambikly_recommendation_score
  • rest_api_init

The full list is in the hooks reference.

Questions ​

Does this use an AI model? ​

No. It is a market-basket co-occurrence query over your real orders — not a language model. The score filter is the hook for swapping in embedding-based similarity later.

No. Only published, in-stock products are returned.

Works well with ​

Product Bundles · Product Badges

Turning it off ​

Switch the add-on off from Ambikly → Add-ons. Its settings and data stay in the database, so turning it back on restores exactly what you had. A lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps selling on the free core, and nothing is deleted.

PROFrequently Bought Together is part of Ambikly Pro

One license covers all 35 add-ons — $199 a year or $549 once for a single site. Nothing here is sold separately.
