Chained Product for WooCommerce allows store owners to automatically add one or more products to the cart when a customer adds a main product.

This plugin is designed to be lightweight, easy to use, and ideal for scenarios where products must be sold together, included for free, or added as required items.

Typical use cases include free gifts, required accessories, setup fees, service items, and simple bundles.
