About CartFlows
CartFlows hands order-bump product selection to a model instead of a manual rule.
CartFlows Pro 3.2.0 and the free CartFlows 3.2.0 shipped four minutes apart, as this feed's releases always do. The Pro release introduces AI-powered product selection for Order Bumps and an Auto Suggest for Frequently Bought Together; the free plugin adds the compatibility that lets Frequently Bought Together work, plus express checkout fixes. Both bodies are teasers that link out, so the scope beyond the headline features is not readable here. The prior cycle added Product Bundles support and A/B split testing for order bumps.
