Recommendation widgets
The three Wow Chat recommendation blocks for WooCommerce — Recently Viewed, Related Products and Frequently Bought Together — where to place them and how they pick products.
Last updated Sep 4, 2026 · applies to v0.2.1
The three widgets
Each widget is a Gutenberg block. Drop it on any page or template with the block editor.
- Recently Viewed — products the current visitor has looked at, most recent first. Tracked per visitor on your own site.
- Related Products — products that share categories and tags with the current product.
- Frequently Bought Together — built from the product’s WooCommerce cross-sells, so you control the pairings from the product editor you already use.
Placement ideas
| Block | What it shows | Typical placement |
|---|---|---|
| Wow Search | Instant product search box with results as the shopper types. | Shop page header, sidebars, landing pages. |
| Wow Recently Viewed | Products the current visitor has looked at, most recent first. | Product pages, cart, account pages. |
| Wow Related Products | Products related by categories and tags. | Product pages, below the description. |
| Wow Frequently Bought Together | Products from the current product’s WooCommerce cross-sells. | Product pages, cart. |
| Shortcode | [wow_chat_for_woo_search] — the same search box for classic themes and widgets. | Anywhere shortcodes render. |
Styling
Widgets render standard WooCommerce product markup with the plugin’s lightweight styles, so they inherit your theme’s product card look. Assets load only on pages where a widget is present.
Tuning what shows
Developers can filter the product IDs before render:
wow_chat_for_woo_related_ids— Related Productswow_chat_for_woo_fbt_ids— Frequently Bought Together
See Developer hooks for examples.
