Description

SmartRec AI automatically shows the most relevant products to each shopper by combining three complementary signals:

  • Collaborative Filtering (80%) – Identifies products frequently viewed or purchased together by real users.
  • Content-Based Filtering (20%) – Matches products sharing the same categories, tags, and attributes.
  • Bestseller Fallback – Falls back to your top-selling products when no behavioural data exists yet.

Carousels are rendered via lightweight AJAX so they never slow down your page load.

  4. The product-page and cart-page carousels are enabled automatically.

Does it work with no purchase/view history?

Yes. When there is insufficient behavioural data the plugin automatically falls back to your top-selling products so the widget is never empty.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Guest tracking uses an anonymous, httpOnly session cookie. No personal data (name, email, IP) is stored in the tracking tables.

Can I place the carousel anywhere?

Yes — use the shortcode [smartrec_recommendations product_id="42" limit="8" title="Customers Also Bought"]. The product_id attribute is optional; it defaults to the current post.

Which WordPress hooks are supported for the product widget?

woocommerce_after_single_product_summary (default), woocommerce_after_single_product, and woocommerce_before_single_product. Selectable in Settings.

How do I increase recommendation freshness?

Lower the Cache TTL in Settings (minimum 60 seconds). The scheduled cleanup cron runs hourly.
