Suggestion: Categorized Cross Sells

Post by primesuspect » Fri Dec 14, 2007 11:00 pm

Hey,

Have a suggestion for the cross sells. I think it would be much better if you could categorize them.. Like you see on the Crutchfield.com website. Take this TV for example:

http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/ ... 064&tp=161

When you add it to your cart, it takes you to the cross sell page. BUT, it is done different than the standard Able cross sells. What they do is make a very large and clear banner letting you know what you just added to your cart, including an image and a link to continue to the cart. Then below that, they have a banner saying to make sure you get everything you need, with an arrow pointing down for those smaller screens. The next thing is the categorized cross sells, if you take a moment to look... The categories have a cross sell category image, cross sell category description and name of course. And then the products themselves have a name, link to product, stock level, price and a check box to add it to cart. At the bottom, you can "add selected to cart". Or like the button at the top, you can continue on to the cart. The only thing they didn't do right, in my opinion, was they didn't put a small image for the products.

It would be awesome if we could get cross sells like these. :)

Excellent Idea! Is this available in the Able 7?

When I first started to play with the software, I was not sure if the item had been added to the cart. Are there any post about adding conformation notices?

Yes this is in place. Edit some product and you will found the similar products option in the left navigation. Locate and add some similar products then on the store pages move to products detail page and open it in edit mode. Then use the similar products control at the bottom the page as bellow

Code: Select all
