WooCommerce Chained Products
WooCommerce Chained Products is a powerful plugin that allows store owners to link multiple products together, ensuring customers purchase related items in a single transaction. This feature is ideal for bundled sales, gift sets, product kits, or mandatory add-ons. Below are its key features:
1. Product Bundling & Linking

- Example: Selling a camera with mandatory accessories like a memory card and case.
2. Flexible Chain Rules
- Set products as optional or mandatory in the chain.
- Define quantities for each chained item.
3. Automatic Cart Addition
- When a customer adds the main product to the cart, all linked products are automatically included.
- Reduces cart abandonment by simplifying checkout.
4. Inventory Management
- Tracks stock for both main and chained products.
- Prevents overselling by syncing inventory levels.
5. Discount & Pricing Options
- Offer discounted bundles to incentivize bulk purchases.
- Set fixed or percentage-based discounts on chained items.
6. Smart Product Visibility
- Hide or show chained products individually in the store.
- Customers see only the main product, reducing clutter.
7. Seamless Checkout Process
- Chained products appear as a single line item or detailed list in the cart.
- Simplifies the buying experience for customers.
8. Compatibility & Extensions
- Works with most WooCommerce themes and plugins.
- Supports variable products, subscriptions, and third-party extensions.
9. Customizable Display Options
