Alternative products
3+
====================
4+
5+
The use of alternative products is a marketing strategy that involves the upselling of useful and
6+
related products alongside a desired core product. For instance, by configuring alternative
7+
products, a customer could be suggested a mechanical keyboard or a wireless keyboard when they visit
8+
the eCommerce website page for a standard keyboard.
9+
10+
Alternative products are automatically suggested during the shopping process whenever a customer
11+
visits the webpage for an associated core product.

.. note::
20+
Alternative products are differentiated from accessory products and optional products by where
21+
they appear in the customer's shopping experience.
22+
23+
- Alternative products are suggested at the bottom of an eCommerce product page whenever the
24+
product page is viewed.
25+
- Accessory products appear as suggestions when viewing an eCommerce cart.
26+
- Optional products are suggested when a core product has been added to a cart or a quotation.

Configuring alternative products
29+
================================
30+
31+
To add an alternative product to a product form, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales --> Products -->
32+
Products` and choose a product. Ensure that the product's :guilabel:`Sales` checkbox is checked and
33+
click the :guilabel:`Sales` tab. Under :guilabel:`UPSELL & CROSS-SELL` section, the
34+
:guilabel:`Alternative Products` drop-down menu allows for alternative products to be set. Products
35+
will be displayed in alphabetical order. If the desired product isn't readily visible, type its name
36+
in the field to bring it up, then select it to add it as an alternative product.
37+
38+
To delete an alternative product from the product form, simply click the :icon:`fa-times`
39+
:guilabel:`(Delete)` icon.
40+
41+
Additional alternative products can also be added to a core product by clicking :guilabel:`Search
42+
more...`. This opens the :guilabel:`Search: Optional Products` form, which displays all products in
43+
the catalog and includes the :guilabel:`New` button to create a new product. Multiple products may
44+
be selected as alternative products at once when using this form by clicking their checkboxes and
45+
then clicking :guilabel:`Select`.
