Stop Sending Your Shoppers Into a Dead End

Every product page in your Joomla ecommerce store ends with a button. With Related Category Products, it ends with six more things they want to buy — automatically, from your existing categories, with zero manual wiring.

Everything Your Product Page Needs to Keep Shoppers Buying

A fully automatic related-products engine for your Joomla ecommerce store. Category-driven. Zero ongoing maintenance. Looks exactly like the rest of your store.

Automatic Selection

Related products populate themselves from your existing categories. No manual cross-sell wiring. No spreadsheets. Your catalog is already organized — now it works for you.

Six Ordering Modes

Random, Most Hits, Newest, Alphabetical, Price Low-to-High, Price High-to-Low. Pick the ordering that fits your conversion strategy and switch it anytime — no code required.

Grid or Swiper Scroller

Display as a responsive grid (1–6 columns) or a touch-swipeable scroller — the same carousel format your cross-sell strip already uses. Cards match your Bootstrap 5 or UIKit theme automatically.

Three Category Match Strategies

Same category only (tight and precise), same category plus its subcategories (family match), or same category plus sibling categories (broad discovery). One setting, three different business models served.

In-Stock Filter

One toggle. Enable it and out-of-stock products disappear from the related section. Your shoppers only see products they can actually buy. Your recommendations stay credible.

Per-Product Overrides

Global settings run your catalog. But any individual product can break from them — different count, mode, ordering, or completely disabled. Set it in the product's Apps tab without touching the global config.

Show Up to 24 Products

A focused 3-product set or a packed 24-product discovery strip. Configurable from 1 to 24. Global default, overrideable per product. You decide how much shelf space the section gets.

Custom Section Heading

"Related Products" is the default. But it's your store. Rename it "You Might Also Like," "From This Collection," "Explore the Range" — any text, any voice, one setting.

Multilingual & Access-Level Aware

Multilingual Joomla sites get automatic language filtering — shoppers see products in their active language. Restricted products respect your Joomla access levels and stay invisible to the wrong audience.

Real-World Use Cases

Manually wiring cross-sells for 800 products is not a weekend project — it's a second job. With Related Category Products installed, every tent page automatically surfaces sleeping bags, trekking poles, and camp cookware from the same Camping category. The store owner sets Random ordering so repeat visitors always see fresh suggestions, and the in-stock filter ensures sold-out colorways never appear. The catalog grew from 200 to 800 products and the recommendation sections required exactly zero additional maintenance.

A specialty food store organizes products by cuisine region: Italian, Japanese, French, Mediterranean. A customer lands on aged balsamic vinegar — the related section immediately surfaces truffle pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and imported olive oil from the same Italian category. Category match is set to "same category and siblings" to also pull in neighboring Mediterranean products, widening the discovery net. Ordering is Price Low to High to ease shoppers toward adding a few lower-ticket items alongside a higher-value purchase. Average order value climbs. Nothing was manually configured per product.

This store runs global settings with a Scroller display and 4 products across the whole catalog. Their flagship mirrorless camera launch gets special treatment: a per-product override switches it to Grid mode, bumps the count to 8, and sets ordering to Most Hits so the most popular accessories dominate the section. Every lens, battery grip, camera bag, and memory card the photography community actually clicks fills that grid. The camera page becomes a one-stop accessory discovery experience for launch week. The rest of the catalog keeps the global scroller defaults untouched.

Your Product Pages End Here. Your Revenue Doesn't Have To.

Every product page in your Joomla ecommerce store is a moment of peak shopper interest. Related Category Products turns that moment into a discovery experience — automatically, from your existing categories, with the ordering and display controls to make it yours. The 2-year option locks in your price for 24 months. Simple math.

The Recommendation Engine You Never Had to Build

Your Joomla ecommerce store already organizes products into categories. Related Category Products reads that structure and turns it into live product suggestions on every detail page — automatically, with no per-product setup required.

  • Every product page gets a recommendation section from day one
  • New products added to any category appear in related sections immediately
  • Discontinued products stop appearing the moment they're unpublished
  • Zero ongoing maintenance — the catalog manages itself
The Recommendation Engine You Never Had to Build
Tight Niche or Broad Discovery — You Choose

Tight Niche or Broad Discovery — You Choose

Different stores need different category match logic. Related Category Products gives you three strategies and lets you pick the one that fits how your catalog is structured and how your shoppers browse.

  • Same category only — strict precision, ideal for focused product lines
  • Same category + subcategories — natural family match for hierarchical catalogs
  • Same category + siblings — broader discovery across adjacent catalog sections
  • Per-product overrides let individual products use a different strategy entirely

Looks Like Your Store. Not Like an Add-On.

Related product sections that look visually disconnected from the rest of your store destroy trust and shout "third-party plugin." Related Category Products uses the same product card rendering pipeline as the rest of J2Commerce, so the cards look identical to your cross-sell strip, your category list, and every other product display in your Joomla ecommerce store.

  • Bootstrap 5 and UIKit themes both supported — active theme applied automatically
  • Grid mode: 1–6 configurable columns, fully responsive
  • Scroller mode: touch-swipeable carousel, same format as cross-sell strips
  • No custom styling required — it just looks right
