Work with merchandising associations
Product Managers find, list, create, and change merchandising associations (such as up-sells or cross-sells).
- Find merchandising associations for a catalog entry
Before you change product information, check whether there are merchandising associations connected to the product. Changes to a product could affect merchandising associations.
- Create merchandising associations
A merchandising association associates one catalog entry to another. If you are trying to increase store sales, you might want to create a merchandising association to suggest additional, different, or replacement products based on a selected catalog entry. function popup_window( url, id, width, height ) { popup = window.open( url, id, 'toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,statusbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,width=' + width + ',height=' + height + ',left=,top=' ); popup.focus(); }
- Changing merchandising associations
You might want to change a merchandising association if you have surplus inventory on a product and want to offer an incentive for customers to purchase it.
- Delete merchandising associations
If you are out of inventory or modifying a catalog entry, you might need to delete any merchandising associations created for that catalog entry.
