Optional products
=================

The use of optional products is a marketing strategy for cross-selling products along with a core
product. The aim is to offer useful and related products to your customers. For instance, if a
customer wants to buy a car, he has the choice to order an automatic opening trunk and massaging
seats, or not to order such high-quality products and simply buy his car.

Add optional products to your quotations
========================================
For instance, if a customer wants to buy a car, they have the choice to order massaging seats, as
well, or ignore the offer and simply buy the car. Presenting the choice to purchase optional
products enhances the customer experience.

Optional products on quotations
===============================

With Odoo Sales, it is possible to add or modify optional products directly on quotations
(under the **Optional Products** tab, as you can see below).
With the Odoo *Sales* application, it is possible to add or modify optional products directly on
quotations by navigating to the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab on a quotation form.

.. note::
By clicking on the **Customer Preview** button, you will be able to see what your customers
will have as possibilities after opening a quotation from their received email.
.. tip::
Click the :guilabel:`Customer Preview` button to reveal a preview of the quotation customers
would receive via email, along with the optional products they have a chance of adding to their
order.

In practice, your customers will be able to add different optional products to their order by
using associated carts, with a user-friendly layout. More than that, if a customer selects all the
optional products suggested, these additional items will automatically fill in the quotation
managed by the salesman.
In practice, customers are able to add different optional products to an order by clicking the
:guilabel:`🛒 (shopping cart)` icon, located to the right of the optional product line. If a
customer selects all the optional products suggested, these additional items are automatically
filled in on the quotation that is managed by the salesperson.

Like this, salespeople will see each movement made by the customer and tracking the order will be
all the better.
When the customer adds an optional product(s) to an order, the salesperson is instantly notified
about the change, along with any other change the customer makes to an order. This allows
salespeople to stay up-to-date with everything related to an order in the backend of the *Sales*
application.

Add optional products to your quotation templates
=================================================
Optional products on quotation templates
========================================

Be sure to check out our documentation about :doc:`quote_template` to understand how you can
enable, create, design and manage your own quotation templates before reading this part.
.. note::
Be sure to review the documentation on how to
:doc:`/applications/sales/sales/send_quotations/quote_template` to better understand how
quotation templates work before reading the following information.

For quotation templates, you also have an **Optional Products** tab where you can add related
products or services.
For quotation templates, just like a typical quotation form, there is also an :guilabel:`Optional
Products` tab, wherein related products or services can be added to a quotation template.

:alt: How to add optional products to your quotation templates on Odoo Sales
To add optional products to a quotation template, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app -->
Configuration --> Quotation Templates`. Then, either select an existing quotation template to edit,
or create a new one by clicking :guilabel:`New`.

On the quotation form, click :guilabel:`Edit`, then click the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab.
Under the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab, click :guilabel:`Add a line`, and select the desired
product to add as an optional product to the quotation template.

With Odoo Sales, it is now very easy to understand your customer's needs.
.. tip::
It's best to offer optional products that would encourage a customer to add additional items to
their order, or entice them to purchase a more expensive version of their initially selected
product.

For example, if a customer purchases a wooden chair, some optional products could be: a warranty
on that chair and/or a wooden chair with leather seats.

When the desired optional product(s) have been added, click :guilabel:`Save` to save all changes.

.. note::
There is no limit to how many optional products can be added to a quotation template.

The products added in the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab are present in the quotation, by
default, whenever that particular quotation template is used.
