Create Related Items Groups

A related items group is a set of items you can choose to recommend when specified items are displayed in your web store.

For example, Wolfe Electronics creates a related items group called Power Cords and Appliances that contains items like cables, extension cords, and surge protectors. Wolfe Electronics chooses to display this related item group with the monitors it sells in its web store. When shoppers view Wolfe Electronics' monitors, they can also view related products they might need.

To create a related item group:

  1. Go to Commerce > Marketing > Related Item Categories > New.

  2. In the Category field, enter a name for your related item group. For example: Power Cords and Appliances.

    In Step 10, you will select this category name when adding related item groups to items.

  3. In the Brief Description field, enter a short message describing this group. For example: Cables, extension cords, and surge protectors.

    This step is optional.

  4. Go to the Basic tab and the Item subtab to add an item from the list. Each item's brief description appears in the Item Description field.

  5. Click Add.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add more items to your item group.

  7. Click on an item to move it up and down in the Item list. This changes the order the items display in your web store.

  8. When you have finished, click Save.

  9. Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.

  10. Click Edit next to the item (for example, Monitor) with which you want to associate your related items group.

    1. Go to the Web Store tab and the Related Items subtab.

    2. In the Related Item column, select the related item group from the list of categories. In this case, Category: Power Cords and Appliances.

    3. Click Add.

  11. Click Save.

Your related items group now displays with the item you are selling in your web store.

Note:

If you use multiple websites, note that items only appear on websites specified on the item record. For example, if you include item A and item B in the same related items group, then you must publish both items A and B to the same websites, if you want the two items to always appear together.
