Widgets and placement
Settings are under Inference Works → Recommendations → Widgets. You can turn each widget on or off and change its title and the number of products:
- Frequently bought together – up to 3 products with an “Add selected to cart” button. Bundles include simple products; variable products link to their product page.
- Similar products, Customers also bought and Recently viewed – on product pages.
- Recommended for your cart – in the classic cart and the Cart block.
On product pages, choose where each widget goes: before the tabs, after the summary or after the tabs. Products are shown using your theme’s own product cards.
Block and shortcode
In the editor, add the Recommendations block and choose a type. The shortcode takes type and an optional product (a product ID; the current product by default):
[inference_recommendations type="bought_together"]– frequently bought together with the current product,[inference_recommendations type="similar" product="123"]– products similar to product ID 123.
Available types: bought_together, similar, also_bought, recently_viewed, cart.
Data and small stores
In the Data tab, choose which order statuses count (WooCommerce paid statuses by default) and rebuild the data. When there are few orders, the plugin falls back in turn on manual links, order-history pairs, category and attribute similarity, and category bestsellers. Set similarity weights in the Similarity tab.
Statistics
The Statistics tab shows widget views and clicks for the last 30 days, broken down by strategy. Statistics are daily totals with no personal data. Recently viewed products (up to 20 IDs) stay in the shopper’s browser, with no cookies and no server-side profile.
Inference Search
When Inference Search is active, the plugin suggests products on the results page and in the search overlay whenever a search finds nothing. Turn this widget on in the Widgets tab.
Pro
Once your license is active, you get the Bundles (bundle discount), Rules (pin, exclude, boost by margin and stock, category rules), Revenue (recommendation revenue, period comparison, CSV), A/B tests and Weekly report tabs. Extra placements are the after add-to-cart popup, the empty cart, the thank-you page, the order completed email and the 404 page. Attribution, A/B tests and the weekly report are optional. Before turning them on, describe them in your store’s privacy policy.
