Frequently Asked Questions

Is LaunchStore a good alternative to Frequently Bought Together by Code Black Belt?

Yes. LaunchStore includes an auto-computed FBT engine that learns from your orders, plus manual FBT rules, cart upsells, post-purchase recommendations, a cart progress bar, and impression analytics — all from $9/mo vs $9.99–$19.99/mo just for FBT.

Does LaunchStore automatically compute "Frequently Bought Together" like FBT CBB?

Yes. Every order placed in LaunchStore trains the FBT engine — it tracks co-occurrence counts for every product pair. The product page automatically surfaces the highest-scoring FBT matches with no manual setup required.

Can I still set manual FBT rules on top of the auto-engine?

Yes. You can add manual "frequently_bought" rules in the Upsells dashboard. Manual rules appear first; auto-FBT fills the remaining slots. This lets you prioritise high-margin products before the auto-data is available.

Does FBT CBB include cart upsells or post-purchase recommendations?

No. FBT CBB is a single-widget app — it only adds a Frequently Bought Together section on product pages. It has no cart drawer upsell, no post-purchase recommendations, and no analytics dashboard.

How much does FBT CBB cost vs LaunchStore?

FBT CBB costs $9.99–$19.99/mo for one widget. LaunchStore costs $9/mo and includes FBT, cart upsells, post-purchase recommendations, a cart progress bar, discount incentives, and analytics — saving ~$11/mo for dramatically more capability.

Does LaunchStore show FBT products with discount offers like FBT CBB's bundle discount?

Yes. You can attach a percentage discount, fixed amount off, free item, or free shipping to any FBT recommendation rule. This replicates FBT CBB's bundle discount feature — and extends it to cart and post-purchase placements too.
