Re: Examples of cross-selling with WebCatalog?

texte = I have a manual version of this on one of my websites (http://www.bigcityexpress.com) where the product file contains 10 fields for see also entries, so when you are looking at an inkjet printer there is a nicely formatted table near the product description that is pushing a parallel cable, paper, and ink (all click through of course). The downside is that these have to be hand entered, but this is good because we can push slightly less related things (a PDA to someone looking at a notebook). I suppose you could have a related items database that would (upon doing a purchase) search this database (appending if needed) and add the SKU, the also purchased SKU and increment +1. Then when you are showing an item, you just search this database quickly for the top 10 related items... (OK, there are logic holes large enough to drive a van through, but It's just a quick idea) Brian B.
