Alternative products
3+
====================
4+
5+
The use of alternative products is a marketing strategy that involves upselling related products
6+
alongside a desired core product. For instance, by configuring alternative products, a customer
7+
could be suggested a mechanical keyboard or a wireless keyboard when they visit the eCommerce
8+
website page for a standard keyboard.
9+
10+
Alternative products are automatically suggested during the shopping process when a customer visits
11+
the webpage for an associated core product.
12+
13+
.. note::
14+
Alternative products are different from accessory and optional products because of where they
15+
show up in the customer's shopping experience.
16+
17+
- Alternative products are suggested at the bottom of an eCommerce product page whenever the
18+
product page is viewed.
19+
- Accessory products appear as suggestions when viewing an eCommerce cart.
20+
- Optional products are suggested when a core product has been added to a cart or a quotation.

Configuring alternative products
33+
================================
34+
35+
To add an alternative product to a product form, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales --> Products -->
36+
Products` and choose a product. Ensure that the product's :guilabel:`Sales` checkbox is ticked and
37+
click the :guilabel:`Sales` tab. In the :guilabel:`Upsell & Cross-sell` section, click the
38+
:guilabel:`Alternative Products` drop-down menu to set alternative products. Products are displayed
39+
in alphabetical order. If the desired product isn't readily visible, type its name in the field to
40+
bring it up, then select it to add it as an alternative product.
41+
42+
To delete an alternative product from the product form, click the :icon:`fa-times`
43+
:guilabel:`(Delete)` icon.
44+
45+
Additional alternative products can also be added to a core product by clicking :guilabel:`Search
46+
more...`. This opens the :guilabel:`Search: Alternative Products` form, which displays all products
47+
in the catalog and includes the :guilabel:`New` button to create a new product. Multiple products
48+
can be selected as alternatives at once in this form by ticking their checkboxes and then clicking
49+
:guilabel:`Select`.
