SMART PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
Show Smarter Product Recommendations. Create Better Shopping Experiences.
Help customers discover products that genuinely match their interests. Smart Similar Products analyzes product attributes, price ranges, and features to recommend relevant alternatives from the same category.
Attribute Matching Price Matching Feature Matching
Overview
Smart Similar Products is a powerful and configurable recommendation module for PrestaShop. It automatically suggests relevant products from the same category by evaluating similarities in product attributes, price, and features.
Instead of relying only on manually selected related products, the module uses configurable matching criteria to identify products that may interest customers. Store owners can control which criteria are active, adjust their relative weights, and decide how recommendations appear on product pages.
Whether you sell fashion, electronics, accessories, home products, or other catalog items, relevant recommendations can help shoppers discover alternatives, compare options, and continue exploring your store.

Common Problems in Product Discovery
Customers struggle to find suitable alternatives
Shoppers may need to browse multiple category pages to locate products with similar specifications or characteristics.
Irrelevant product suggestions
Generic recommendations may show products that do not match a customer's preferred attributes, features, or budget.
Manual related-product management takes time
Manually selecting related products can become difficult when a store has a large or frequently changing catalog.
Limited control over recommendation relevance
Different product categories need different matching priorities. A one-size-fits-all recommendation approach may not suit every catalog.
How Smart Similar Products Solves These Problems
- Automated product discovery: Suggest similar products from the same category using configurable matching criteria.
- More relevant alternatives: Evaluate attributes, price range, and product features to identify products with meaningful similarities.
- Less manual work: Let the matching engine generate recommendations instead of depending entirely on manual product associations.
- Flexible recommendation logic: Enable or disable each criterion and adjust its weight to suit your catalog.
- Better product-page discovery: Display recommendations in the product footer or additional information block to encourage further exploration.
Flexible Back-Office Configuration
Manage the recommendation experience from your PrestaShop back office. The module provides controls for:
- Enable or disable the module.
