The cross sell editor screen is split into two steps. In step one, select the "parent" products, categories and manufacturers. In step two, select the related products, categories and manufacturers that you would like to display when the parent product(s) are present in the customer's shopping basket, or when their Product Details page is viewed in the storefront.

Step 1 of 2: Select this rule's "parent" products, categories and manufactures.

Name this rule: This name of the rule assigned to the cross sell rule. The name is used only internally by store administrators. Customers never see the name of a cross sell rule.

Is this active?: Only active cross sell rules are used and displayed in your storefront. Making a cross sell rule inactive allows you to temporarily remove it from your storefront without deleting it, just in case you may want to use it again later.

Make rule reciprocal?: If this option is selected, then the rule will include a reciprocal relationship between the parent and related selection. For example, I create a rule in which the product Apples are related to Oranges. Without the Make rule reciprocal? option selected, Oranges will be listed as a related product when viewing the Apples product. The relationship is just one-way. However, with the Make rule reciprocal option selected, Oranges will be listed as a related product when viewing Apples and Apples will be listed as a related product when viewing Oranges. The relationship now goes both ways.

Source Products: Select any individual parent product(s) associated with this cross sell rule. When the selected product(s) are present in the customer's shopping basket, or their Product Details page is viewed in the storefront, the store will generate the list of related cross sell products.

Source Manufacturers: Select parent manufacturer(s) for the cross sell rule. Any products that are associated with the selected manufacturer(s) will trigger the generation of the list of related cross sell products.

Source Categories: Select parent categories for the cross sell rule. Any products that are associated with the selected categories will trigger the generation of the list of related cross sell products.

Step 2 of 2: Select the related products, manufacturers and categories that will be displayed when the "parent" product(s) are present.

Related Products: Select the individual related product(s). The presence of the "parent" products will generate a list of cross sell products, which will include the individual related products selected here.

Related Manufacturers: Select the individual related manufacturer(s). The presence of the "parent" products will generate a list of cross sell products, which will include all of the products associated with the manufacturer(s) selected here.

Related Categories: Select the individual related categories. The presence of the "parent" products will generate a list of cross sell products, which will include all of the products associated with the categories selected here.
