# Related products

This article explains how to add related products in the control panel, so that customers can more easily find relevant items – and you increase upsells in your online store.

## Why use related products?

Related products help customers to:

-   discover alternative or complementary items
-   find the right products faster
-   add more items to the shopping cart

This can contribute to higher conversion and increased average order value.

## How to add related products

1.  Go to **Products → Products** and open the product you want to edit
2.  Scroll to the bottom of the product page
3.  Find the field **Related products**

Search for products you want to add via the search bar or the drop-down menu.

## How does the search bar work?

When you search for a product, you get several options:

-   **Click on the product name**
-   -   Adds the product
    -   Closes the search result
    -   You must then choose **Add** or **Add to both products**
-   **Add**
-   -   Adds the product as related
    -   Keeps the search result open so you can add more products
-   **Cross-link**
-   -   The products are mutually linked
    -   The product you are editing becomes related to the selected product, and vice versa
    -   The search result remains open

## Add to both products (cross-linking)

This function ensures that the link goes both ways.

Example:

-   You add *T-shirt Red* as a related product to *T-shirt Green*
-   *T-shirt Green* is also automatically related to *T-shirt Red*

This saves time and ensures consistent product linking.

## Copy related products from another product

If you have many similar products, you can save a lot of time by using **Copy from**

-   Select a product that already has related products set up
-   Copy the relationships directly
-   Avoid manual repetition

This is especially useful for series, colors, or variants of the same product.
