Cross-Sell Items Plugin for AbleCommerce7

Cross Selling feature is available in AbleCommerce7 but it is quite limited. Particularly it lacks AbleCommerce5.5 feature of allowing to associate any type of catalog node to a product for cross-selling purposes. In AC7 you can only associate products for cross-selling.

Our new Corss-Sell Items Plugin enables you to associate all types of catalog node objects to a product for cross-selling purposes. You can associate categories, web-pages and links in addition to products.

The plugin consists of two parts. A merchant interface and a ConLib control for the retail side.  Merchant interface integrates into the AC7 merchant console and provides ability to attach cross sell items to a product.  The ConLib control is designed to be placed in any store page where a product id is available. Usually this is some product display page.

The ConLib control has various properties that can be used to configure its display and layout-  for example; horizontal or vertical layout, maximum number of items and captions for different sections.
