Do I need an OpenAI API key?
No. Rankings use only your own store data. The AI layer is optional, off by default, and adds a small bonus on top.
Does it replace WooCommerce's related products?
Yes, by default the stock related products block is hidden and this one takes its place. You can turn that off and run both.
How are frequently bought together products found?
From orders that contain both products, counted from WooCommerce's own order data and cached for twelve hours.
Will it work on a new store with no orders?
Yes. Categories, tags, attributes and price carry the ranking until order history builds up.
Does it slow down my shop?
No. Rankings are cached for six hours per product, and the personalised row loads after the page, so page caching keeps working.
Is it compatible with HPOS?
Yes. It declares High-Performance Order Storage compatibility and reads orders through WooCommerce's APIs.
What is sent to OpenAI when AI is on?
Only the product name and up to four category names, from a background job. No customer, order or cart data.
