Similar Products by Tag

Overview

Similar Products by Tag is an awesome add-on for hand picking and displaying matching products. This extension displays a list of products which have the same tags as the current product opened. 

With this add-on, you will help customers quickly find matching products or purchase similar products with the same tag. For example, you link similar Toshiba TVs with tags “Toshiba”, “TV”, “LED”. When a potential customer opens a product page of one of the TVs, similar products by tags will be displayed in a block below the product description.

With the Similar products by Tag add-on you are able to:

— automatically link products to each other by specifying matching tags;

— export and import tags in CSV format;

— produce bulk editing of the selected tags;

— recommend products that are similar to the viewed one;

— link products to a specific page by tag;

— limit the maximum number of products shown per page.

How it works

Note: Before installing the Similar Products by Tag make sure that you have installed the Tags add-on for correct operation.

To display similar products on the product page, you need to create a special block. For this purpose go to Design - Layouts, open Products tab and add a new block. Name the block and select the template type you like.

How many products would you like to display? Specify the number of products in a Limit box.

Then go to Products - Products in the admin panel, select the desired product and open the Tags tab. Enter tags to the Tags field, by clicking Enter each time you add a new tag.

That's it! Now on the product page, a new block with similar products is displayed.

But it is not everything. With this add-on, you can easily export and import products. In the admin panel go to Products page and find Tags in the Available fields and move it to the Exported fields. Export files and specify tags for products in the exported CSV file.

Once all the necessary tags are specified, you need to import products. Go to Administration - Import data - Products and import files.

If you want to edit multiple tags at once via Bulk editing go to Products, then select products you want to modify, click Gear button in the upper right corner and choose Edit selected. 

In the opened window select the boxes corresponding to the fields you wish to edit and click on Modify select. Now you are able to apply tags to several products just in seconds.

Done!
