How to Add Multiple Products to the Cart in WooCommerce

As a WooCommerce store owner, you might want to give your customers the opportunity to add multiple products to their cart with just one click. This handy feature has the ability to increase your average order value and help customers to find the right products, faster.

So, in this article, we’ll teach you how to install the ‘add multiple products to cart’ feature onto your WooCommerce store. The best part? You’ll be able to do it in just 2 steps with the WooCommerce plugin, Iconic Sales Booster for WooCommerce.

How Iconic Sales Booster works

Iconic Sales Booster for WooCommerce allows you to add the ‘Frequently Bought Together’ (also used by ecommerce giants such as Amazon) module to product pages.

Essentially, this feature will show multiple products below the main ‘Add to cart’ button that the customer can select. Once selected, a customer can then click the ‘Add Selected to Cart’ button and all of those products are then added to their cart. It even works with variable products and variations.

The products shown in the ‘Frequently Bought Together’ section are manually added by you. So if you wanted to group certain products together on individual product pages, you can. 

So, to allow customers to add multiple products to their cart in WooCommerce, all you need to do is follow the next few steps.

How to add multiple products to the cart in WooCommerce

To install the ‘add multiple products to cart’ feature onto your WooCommerce store, you’ll need to:

8. Tip: If required, you can also add an optional discount for customers who add multiple items to their cart in your WooCommerce store.

9. Tip: Lastly, you can customise the text displayed within the ‘Frequently Bought Together’ area for extra buyer incentive. 
   1. To do this, simply add the text you want to display in the Sales Pitch Text section.

10. Once happy, scroll up to the Publish section of the page and click Update.

Note: The ‘Frequently Bought Together’ feature only displays on product pages to which you’ve added ‘Frequently Bought Together’ products.

Use cross-selling in other ways

Iconic Sales Booster for WooCommerce doesn’t just allow customers to add multiple items to the cart in your store, it has more to give than that.

With Iconic Sales Booster you can also:

• Display a pop-up or modal once a product is added to the cart. This pop-up will display the product they just added and a ‘Customers Also Bought’ section which displays up to 3 products you manually select to appear.

• Display a one-time offer at the checkout. Iconic Sales Booster allows you to add product offers or discounts right in the checkout that are hard to say no to.

• Add one last post-purchase offer. After payment, you can add special one-time offers that are processed in one click without adding payment details again.
