Display related products

Use a product’s Related Products tab to select products to display in the Related Products widget on the Product layout and specify the order in which the related products appear.

Use the Details tab to configure how the products look in the widget, for example, whether names and prices are displayed for related products. For more information, see Design Your Store Layout.

This section includes the following topics:

• Add and organize related products

• Import and export related products

Add and organize related products

To select and organize related products:

1. On the Catalog page, navigate to the product to which you want to add related products.
2. On the product’s Related Products tab, click Manage Products.
3. Select products to display.

   To select products, begin by typing or pasting some text in the box. The list of products that appears matches letters or numbers that you type, wherever they appear in the asset name or ID, not just at the beginning.

   Note: If you select inactive products, the Related Products widget will not display them. For more information about active and inactive products, see Understand the base product type.

4. When you finish adding related products, click Display Products.

   The Related Products widget will display the products in the order they appear here. You can rearrange them by dragging them to new positions.

5. Click Save.

Import and export related products

You can use the Oracle Commerce import process to import and export a product’s fixed related products. See Import and Export Catalog Items and Inventory for details about how to import and export products in Oracle Commerce.

The easiest way to format a file for importing related products for products is to start by exporting a file that you can use as a template for the items you want to add or modify. See Export catalog items for more information about how to export.

When you look at the exported spreadsheet, you can see that the second row displays column headings that contain the internal names of the exported properties. The fixedRelatedProducts column includes product IDs for the products to display in the Related Products widget on the Product layout.

Product data begins in the third row and continues for the remainder of the spreadsheet. If an item does not have a value for a property, the corresponding cell is blank. When you import multiple related products, separate each ID with a comma. The order of the IDs in the spreadsheet controls the order of products displayed on the product details page.

See Import catalog items and inventory for more information about how to import your changes back into the catalog.
