Also Purchased

[naimad]

I am returning to osCommerce after being away from it for a year. I am now trying to finish my site but for the life of me I cannot remember how to access the "Also Purchased" feature. I use to be able to enter this feature, select the product with which I wanted to associate other items, and then select the associated items in the sequence that I wanted them to appear. As a result, whenever anyone clicked on one of these products additional products would appear under the heading: Customers who bought this product also bought the following products:. This was very effective for selling accessories to a product and items that were required but not included. Overall, it's a great way to expand a sale. Now if I can only figure out how to set up Also Purchased products. Can anyone give me a hint?

This feature works automatically in a vanilla install. If you want to select the products displayed manually: search for a contribution.

Thank you, Black Jack 21. You are correct, we went back to our notes and found that while I was requesting "Also Purchased", what we actually wanted was not "Also Purchased" but "Also Recommended"! And we found the appropriate contribution called X-sell that allows you to recommend through selection of related items. Also, Purchased will occur automatically, as stated here on the Forum, and we can now also recommend accessories. Thanks for your help.
