X-Cart:Upselling Products

What Upselling products module does

The module Upselling products enables upselling/cross selling at your store. It allows you to create links between products, so that when a store visitor views the details page of a certain product, he or she is offered other items as alternatives or in addition to the item on view. Links to the items related to the item on view are displayed in a section titled 'Related products':

Note: The section 'Related products' is displayed only if there is at least one related product.

The links by which upselling/cross selling relationships between products are established are termed upselling links. Depending on your wish, an upselling link can lead in a single direction (from product A to product B), or be bidirectional (pointing both ways, from product A to product B and from product B to product A).
