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 whenever a customer
11+
visits the webpage for an associated core product.

.. note::
20+
Alternative products are different from accessory and optional products because of where they
21+
show up 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. In the :guilabel:`UPSELL & CROSS-SELL` section, click the
34+
:guilabel:`Alternative Products` drop-down menu to set alternative products. Products are displayed
35+
in alphabetical order. If the desired product isn't readily visible, type its name in the field to
36+
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 can
44+
be selected as alternatives at once in this form by clicking their checkboxes and then clicking
45+
:guilabel:`Select`.
