Adding Cross Sell and Upsell Recommendations to a Catalog Entry

Cross sell and upsell tactics are designed to increase the amount of cart sales.

Cross sell offers items related to a catalog entry. So, for example, if someone is purchasing a digital camera, cross sell items might be a carrying bag, digital photo printer, larger memory cards, additional warranty, etc.

Up Sell refers to similar but more expensive items. So, for example, if someone is viewing a 7 megapixel digital camera, upsell items might be a 10 megapixel camera, or a digital SLR camera.

The following sections explain how to assign cross sell and up sell items to any catalog entry, and how to display those options on your Web site.
