Related products

Related products allow you to show complementary or similar products on the product page, such as Accessories, Similar products or Others also purchased.

By displaying relevant products, you can increase upselling, increase order value and help customers find more products they are interested in.

Different ways to create lists of related products

You can create lists of related products in several ways depending on how you want to work in your store:

1. Manually on the product (product-specific list)
You can create a related list directly on a product and manually select which products to display, or choose to display an automatic list based on purchases.

2. Via product templates (only for Abicart Plus and Abicart Pro subscriptions)
If you use product templates, you can create relationship lists in the template. The lists will then automatically appear on all products that use that template. You can choose to hide related products from the product template on a specific product by checking the "Hide lists inherited by product template" box on the product's related products settings.

3. Via import
If you have many products, you can create or update related lists via import. This allows you to manage related products on a larger scale.
