Smart Substitutes in the Simple basket (Smart Substitutes)

1. Smart Swap function: When you click on the “Add to cart” button of the proposed analogue, the module automatically recalculates the cart: leaves the available balance of the original (or removes the out-of-stock item) and adds the selected replacement.
2. Smart selection algorithm (No routine): The module itself searches for analogues based on the morphology of the name (cutting off junk words), category, brand, attribute matches and deltaprices.
3. Manual connections: For specific products, you can strictly set specific analogues through the admin panel - they will always be displayed first.
4. Built-in cart protection: If the buyer selects an analogue that has mandatory options (size, color), the module will not add it “blindly” (which would lead to a database error), but will carefully redirect the customer to the product card to select options.
5. Social Proof (Gamification): Optional badge output “X people chosen.” Increases conversion and trust in the analogue product. The algorithm uses pseudo-random numbers based on product ID and the number of real views(viewed) - the numbers look realistic and do not jump when the page is refreshed.
6. Own statistics: A statistics panel is available in the admin panel, which shows the real conversion of the module: how many analogues added and by what amount the module “saved” orders.

• No N+1 queries: Search and scoring of analogues occurs at the database level (SQL math).
• Caching: The results of heavy mathematical relevance calculations are cached. The base does not “lay down” even with a largeonline. The price and balances are always up to date and requested in real time.
• PHP 8.x Ready: The code is written taking into account the strict typing of modern versions of PHP (there are no fatal errors when working with strings and arrays).
• Security: AJAX handlers are protected from direct access and spam bots (checking REQUEST_METHOD and the presence of an active cart session).
• Does not use IonCube. Open source, standard OCMOD.
