• Cross-selling features
  Cross-selling is a way of marketing other products to a customer who has already purchased (or signaled their intention to purchase) a product from the vendor.

When cross-selling is used, some search definitions are constructed and this search is then performed every time the page where this product spot WAE is located is displayed. So compared to product group based promotion, you can make more exact restrictions on the products that are promoted. Done!
