Easy Digital Downloads Recommended Products 1.2.13

Easy Digital Downloads Recommended Products is a WordPress plugin for Easy Digital Downloads stores that helps you drive cross-sells with hand-picked recommendations. It displays relevant paid items directly when shoppers view a download and again at checkout, using your store’s own sales history to choose what to show. This reduces reliance on generic “related products” and supports a smoother, more targeted upsell path inside the Easy Digital Downloads flow.

The plugin auto-refreshes recommendations nightly, so the offers stay aligned with recent transactions. You can also manage behavior from the Easy Digital Downloads Extensions settings and optionally customize the recommendation pod with your theme templates.

Main Features

• Fully Templatable — Add your own template to the edd_templates folder in your theme to style the recommendations pod.
• Easy Digital Downloads Settings Integration — Use the existing Extensions settings area without learning new interfaces.
• Imports Pre-Existing Sales — On activation, recommendations are generated from your past Easy Digital Downloads orders.
• Paid-Item Restriction — Exclude free products by removing them from the recommendations pod in settings.
• User-Specific Recommendations — Provide a user ID so items already purchased are removed from what the user sees.
• Cart Integration — If a product is already in the cart, it’s removed from the displayed recommendations.
• Detailed Logging — Track purchases driven by recommendations in the Easy Digital Downloads reports and filter by source and item.
• Nightly Auto-Refresh — Recommendations update every night to reflect new sales activity.

Benefits

• Higher conversion potential — Showing paid items based on actual store sales helps improve checkout outcomes.
• Better shopper experience — Cart-aware and user-aware filtering reduces repeat or irrelevant suggestions.
• More relevant cross-sells — Recommendations are specifically chosen from purchase history, not generic related items.
