Auto cross-selling

Page: Settings >> Product Settings >> Auto cross-selling
As opposed to manual cross-selling (see Product details – Cross-selling, below), automatic cross-selling is based on analysis of customer buying patterns. In this process, data is collected about how often a product is bought in relation to another product. Using this information allows products that are often purchased together to be offered for sale together.

Note: This function can slow down the display of products because multiple products have to be read from the database and statistical information is managed and evaluated. Immediate and constant statistical evaluation is also not available for the same reason. The statistics are calculated at times when few users are signed in to the system (usually at night).
