For example: buy two pads of paper, get a free pen. Add paid product: when a customer buys the original product, Readysell will add the associated product to their cart, and charge them. Cross-sell: other products that might be sold with this product. For example if you sell a printer you might try to cross sell a toner. Cross sell products can display on the sales screen as prompts to encourage the operator suggest the customer buys the cross sell product with the original item. Related: Used to link products that can be used with each other. For example to link toners to the printers in which those toners can be used. Replace: used when you have two equivalent but separate products; so when a customer buys the original product, Readysell will substitute this one. For example: (a) customer orders red pen with product code 334343, substitute red pen with product code 8989898 – same product, different brand, so you can’t set an alternate product ID. (b) customer orders 1kg pack of coffee, substitute 2x500g packs of coffee. |
