Easy Digital Downloads Recommended Products

Description

The Recommended Products add-on adds an automatic suggestion system to Easy Digital Downloads that displays related products based on the store’s purchase history, identifying joint purchase patterns among customers. The extension calculates affinities based on actual sales and renders “customers who bought this also bought” blocks on digital product pages, increasing the average order value without requiring manual configuration of relationships between downloads.
