Related Products

The Related products content element is used to add related products to the product details page.

Related products are used by Sana to add similar or substitute products like accessories or spare parts and build relationships between the related products and the original product. These product relations can be built in ERP and are used for cross- and up-selling, or it can be also used to provide alternatives in case any of these products is out of stock. You can add several groups of related products to one product. Each group can contain multiple products.

If there are more than four related products in a group, then related products will be shown in the carousel on the product details page. A customer can easily switch between related products using the buttons.

The maximum quantity of products which can be shown in the carousel is 100.

Related products are shown in the Sana webstore only if they are set up in the ERP system.

For more information about how to set up related products in the ERP systems, see the articles listed below.
