Our analysis
AI-assistedCustom Related Products for WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that allows you to manually select which products appear in the related products section of a product detail page. Instead of relying on automatic suggestions based on product categories, you can curate the related products to better suit your marketing needs.
To use the plugin, you edit a product and select related products from a dedicated selector. If no products are selected, the plugin defaults to WooCommerce's standard behaviour of showing random products from the same category. This plugin is suitable for WooCommerce store owners who want more control over product recommendations.
Best for: WooCommerce store owners looking to customise related product displays.

Verdict

From the developer
Scott Nelle's own description of Custom Related Products for WooCommerce, lightly tidied.
Custom Related Products for WooCommerce lets you choose which products should show in the related products area on a product detail page instead of simply showing products from the same category. Take control of your detail views and show the products that you want!
How to use:
- Edit any product. Under Linked Products you will now have a Related Products selector alongside the Cross-Sells and Upsells.
- Select some products and save.
- As long as your theme has a related products section, you’re done! By default all WooCommerce themes have this, so unless your theme specifically disables it you’re all set.
- If you don’t select related products for any product, it will fall back to the WooCommerce default behavior of selecting random products by category. If you’d prefer to show no products you can configure that under WooCommerce > Custom Related Products.
This plugin has been tested with WooCommerce through version 10.
