Suggesting product alternatives is a great way to ease the user’s product finding process. Instead of browsing the product catalog, product alternatives let customers jump from one product page to the next until they find a relevant item.
For marketplace relations, alternative products are useful because for a marketplace owner it is irrelevant from what merchant a buyer has bought a product. If a merchant does not have this product, the alternative product can be shown on the marketplace.
A Back Office user can add product alternatives for both abstract and concrete products in Catalog > Products.
All the available alternative products are shown on the abstract product details page if one of the following occurs:
- All the concrete products of the abstract one are in the
out of stockstatus. - All the concrete products of the abstract one are discontinued.
{% info_block infoBox %}
Alternative products can be attached to any product, but will be displayed only if the product becomes out of stock or Discontinued.
{% endinfo_block %}
On the product details page of a product that's a product alternative for another product, you can see a Replacement for. This section displays products to which the current product is added as an alternative.
