Stimulate your customers to buy more with the Who Bought This Also Bought extension! Not only does such contextual display of additional content make your store more intelligent, it gives your customers a genuine idea of other products that might be useful to them.

Today we are glad to release the Who Bought This Also Bought Magento extension v.1.4!

In 1.4 version of this Magento module, the issue with orders created from backend was solved.

The latest version of Who Bought This Also Bought gives you an ability to display block with related products on the “Shopping Cart” page.

The module picks up real information about products from orders, thus, it saves your time on relating products due to the automated process. All you need is to enable the required functionality at the backend.

When the Shopping Cart block is enabled, your customers will see a set of products on the Shopping Cart page, which will tell them what other consumers purchase with this or that item.

Remember, if your support period is active, you can download the latest version of the extension absolutely for free!
