Overview
The use of suggested products is a marketing strategy that attempts to increase the amount a customer spends once they begin the buying process. For instance, a customer purchasing a cell phone could be shown accessories like a protective case, a screen cover, and headset. In Odoo, a customer can be presented with additional products that are relevant to their chosen purchase in one of several locations.
This document covers the configuration and use of suggested products in Odoo.
Configuration
Suggested products can be added to quotations directly, or to the ecommerce platform via each product form. In order to use suggested products, you will need to have the Ecommerce applications installed:
