Why Manual Related Links Fail

Editing related products one SKU at a time collapses under catalog growth:

• Stale links — seasonal SKUs stay attached forever
• Admin time sink — merchandisers cannot keep up
• Missed AOV — accessories never surface
• Inconsistent placements — PDP vs cart vs CMS differ

What This Extension Solves

Automatic Related Products builds dynamic recommendation blocks from admin rules instead of manual product links.

• Rule-based related, upsell, cross-sell, complementary blocks
• Conditions on category, attributes, price, stock, cart context
• Placements on PDP, category, cart, checkout, CMS
• Scheduling, priority, limits, and sort order
• Scales across large Magento 2 catalogs

Key Features

• Flexible merchandising strategies (accessories, substitutes, bestsellers)
• Admin CRUD for rules/blocks
• Magento 2.4 compatible
• Pairs with Cart Slideout Cross Sell

System Requirements

• Magento 2.4.x
• Catalog attributes you want to filter on
• Towering Media Composer credentials

General Composer install steps for Towering Media modules: Installation guide.

Installation Overview

Step 1: Authenticate Composer

Add your Towering Media credentials to auth.json in the Magento root (same pattern as other Towering Media extensions).

Step 2: Require the package

composer require toweringmedia/module-automatic-related-products

Step 3: Enable and upgrade

php bin/magento module:enable Toweringmedia_AutomaticRelatedProducts
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush

Exact module enable name may match your package’s registration.php / module.xml—confirm in the package after install. Production stores should follow your normal deploy process.

Build Recommendation Rules

1. Enable the module after Composer install.
2. Open the Automatic Related Products admin section (see wiki).
3. Create a rule: conditions, product source, display limit.
4. Choose placement (PDP / cart / category / CMS).
5. Set priority/schedule; Save; flush cache.

Validate Recommendation Blocks

Check a known product that should match:

• Correct products appear in the block
• Limits and sort order match the rule
• Block shows on the intended page type only
• No layout shift / JS errors on Hyvä

Troubleshooting

Empty blocks

• Verify rule enabled and scheduled
