Up Sells/Cross Sells
Up Sells and Cross Sells offer the ability to market other products in your store to a customer while they're viewing a product or attempting to add a product to their cart.
Note: If you have a managed catalog, you may not be able to change or add to either the Up Sell/Cross Sells.
Cross Sells
These are normally "recommended" products or products that a customer may want to add to their cart in addition to the product they’re purchasing. These products will not replace the product being added to the cart.
Depending on settings, the Cross Sells will either be displayed in an intermediary screen between the product and cart page or on the cart page itself. You can configure how the Cross Sells are displayed to the customer under the Configuration > Order Settings menu.
Up Sells
These are products that are an "upgrade" from the current product. If a customer chooses an Up Sell product, the chosen product will replace the original product the customer was adding to the cart.
Depending on settings, the Up Sells will either be displayed in an intermediary screen between the product and cart page or on the cart page itself. You can configure how the Up Sells are displayed to the customer under the Configuration > Order Settings menu.
Other Features
In addition to Up-Sells and Cross-Sells, the following settings can be utilized to tailor the customer experience and promote specific products.
These settings are all admin controlled to give you maximum control over the products that are presented to your users.
- Also Bought - allows you to select products that are frequently bought in conjunction with the product being edited.
- Accessory - items that can be used with a product but are not essential to the function of said product.
- Similar Item - allows you to suggest items to your customer that are comparable to the item they are viewing.
- Companion Item - unlike accessories, which are technically not essential to the main product, companion items are intended to be used in conjunction with the item being viewed.
- Family - adding items to a product's family groups together related products that share a common theme or purpose.
- Supplies - unlike accessories or companion items, supplies are something that the product uses and eventually needs to have replaced, i.e. filler paper for a copy machine.

- The last part of this section allows you to add, subtract or set the inventory level for the product.
