Cross-sell Configuration

The Cross-sell feature allows you to configure your ShopSite store to display cross-sell products on the shopping cart screen. The cross-sell feature allows for product-specific cross-sell, which displays products related to the most recent product added to the shopping cart. ShopSite also includes global cross-sell, which allows you to display popular or on-sale items whenever a customer views the shopping cart.

Cross-sell products which have already been added to the shopping cart will not be displayed in the cross-sell table.

Cart Global Cross-sell

The Global Cross-sell settings control the display of cross-sell products that are not specifically associated with products in the Shopping Cart. This could include your best-sellers, sales, new products, or any products you want to draw attention to.
