Once you have added products to your WooCommerce store and have used product tags to identify them, you can start linking products together where appropriate. If you are selling products that work well together, you can provide easy linking for your customers on the product page or in the shopping cart.
These Linked Products come in three basic forms: Related Products (chosen by the system), Cross-sells and Up-sells (chosen by the user).
Related products appear alongside your products. WooCommerce will automatically associate related products based on product tags. If you tag similar products with the same tags, they appear as Related Products in your store.
How to Use Cross-Sells:
- Log into WordPress Dashboard
- Click `Products`
- Choose the product you want to edit
- Under Product Data choose Linked Products
- Click into the Cross-Sells field
- Start typing a product into field
- Select your Cross-sell product
- Click Publish for a new product or Update for editing an existing product
You will see now the Cross-sell item in the shopping cart alongside its linked product
How to do a product up-sell:
- Click Products
- Choose the product you want to edit
- Under Product Data choose Linked Products
- Click into the Up-Sells field
- Start typing a product into field
- Select your Up-sell product
- Click Publish for a new product or Update for editing an existing product
