| 5 | +The use of accessory products is a marketing strategy that involves the cross-selling of useful and |
| 6 | +related products alongside a desired core product. Accessory products are automatically suggested in |
| 7 | +eCommerce interactions when a customer views a shopping cart with an associated core product in it. |
| 8 | +For instance, by configuring accessory products, a customer could be suggested a sleeping pad or a |
| 9 | +camping pillow when they view their shopping cart with a sleeping bag in it. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +.. note:: |
| 12 | + Accessory products are differentiated from optional products and alternative products by where |
| 13 | + they appear in the customer's shopping experience. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + - Accessory products appear as suggestions when viewing an eCommerce cart with an associated core |
| 16 | + product in it. |
| 17 | + - Optional products are suggested when a core product has been added to a cart or a quotation. |
| 18 | + - Alternative products are suggested at the bottom of an eCommerce product page whenever the |
| 19 | + product page is viewed. |

| 26 | +Configuring accessory products |
| 27 | +============================== |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +To add an accessory product to a product form, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales --> Products --> |
| 30 | +Products` and choose a product. Ensure that the product's :guilabel:`Sales` checkbox is ticked and |
| 31 | +click the :guilabel:`Sales` tab. Under :guilabel:`Upsell & Cross-sell` heading, the |
| 32 | +:guilabel:`Accessory Products` drop-down menu allows for accessory products to be set. Products will |
| 33 | +be displayed in alphabetical order. If the desired product isn't readily visible, type its name in |
| 34 | +the field to bring it up, then select it to add it as an accessory product. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +To delete an accessory product from the product form, simply click the :icon:`fa-times` |
| 37 | +:guilabel:`(Delete)` icon. |

| 42 | +Additional products can also be added to a core product by clicking :guilabel:`Search more...`. This |
| 43 | +opens the :guilabel:`Search: Optional Products` form, which displays all products in the catalog and |
| 44 | +includes the :guilabel:`New` button to create a new product. Multiple products may be selected as |
| 45 | +optional products at once when using this form by ticking their checkboxes and then clicking |
| 46 | +:guilabel:`Select`. |
