Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has developed a "Recommended Products" extension for OC which will (like Amazon) base the recommendations on customer trends?

I see the "Related Products" feature, which is great, but it does not provide an automated (and data-driven) product recommendation solution.

Has anyone developed this for OC or plan to?

Thanks!

Something like top rated products? or how do customers recommends them?

what I had in mind was that it would base the recommendations on what OTHER items previous customers bought who purchased this particular item.

The example I keep thinking of is Amazon which has the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section.

For the record, my observation about Amazon's recommended products is that it is a rehash of products that I had visited recently, and not any realistic Amazon sales observations. For example, when I started shopping on Amazon for a part for a GM car, Amazon lit up with "other customers who purchased this item also bought..." a cordless phone! I don't think so! The only reason I can imagine for this is that I had been shopping a few days earlier for a cordless phone.

I sincerely hope that anyone who does develop a Recommended Products extension for OpenCart is more honorable in the endeavor than Amazon.
