There are three types of product relations in Magento: Up-sells, Related Products, and Cross-sell Products. When viewing a product, Upsells for this product are items that your customers would ideally buy instead of the product they’re viewing. They might be better quality, produce a higher profit margin, be more popular, etc. These appear on the product info page. Related products appear in the product info page as well, in the right column. Related products are meant to be purchased in addition to the item the customer is viewing. Finally, Cross-sell items appear in the shopping cart. When a customer navigates to the shopping cart (this can happen automatically after adding a product, or not), the cross-sells block displays a selection of items marked as cross-sells to the items already in the cart. They’re a bit like impulse buys – like magazines and candy at the cash registers in grocery stores.
Related products
Upsells
This is the example of the Up-sell. Ideally, the visitor is supposed to analyze those products as they should be relevant to the one that is just loaded.
I think you should post about Configurable Products. I have a main product and but it comes in different sizes and related prices. I’d like to list all different sizes AND prices of the same product. In other shopping carts, a main products with variances are called subproducts and I’m attempting to create subproducts in Magento using the Configurable Product option.
Please email me if you have a solution to this issue.
Thanks a lot
Sometimes (often?) grouped and bundled products can also be used for the same purposes as related products/cross-sells/upsells.Given all the possibilities it’s important to know when to use what in which situation, if that can be captured in any sort of rule at all
You an buy/read the Magento user guide, where it is explained.
