I think SS needs one central "cookbook" on all varieties of suggestive selling. Cookbook should show full code and examples of real sites using these techniques. Lots of bits and pieces are scattered around this forum and elsewhere. Many terms. Confusing too about cross sell in the cart and on more info pages.

Appreciate Lauren's taking time to post this full cross-sell code and instructions for implementing it:

We have cross sell working in our cart and are just now thinking how to sell related products on more-info pages using Subproducts. Goal is to show related shirts with all pants, and vice versa, on our clothing site.

I feel really dumb about this subject until I look at many other SS sites that should be doing more suggestive selling and aren't.

ShopSite is a very powerful shopping cart solution with much flexibility. There are as many ways to do thing as there are designers. It would be impossible to include code on how to do everything. The documentation team is adding new items to the Cookbook section of the help as the get time.

If you have questions on how to do something ask a question here in the forum that is its purpose. There are lots of accomplished ShopSite developers/users who read the forum and are willing to give help.

This is all I can find.

"Custom Template Cookbook Coming Soon!
The Cookbook contains a collection of recipes, or snippets of code, that can be plugged into your templates as-is, or can be modified to suit your preferences. There are a wide range of recipes in the cookbook, from simple examples of using a set of tags to advanced functionality incorporating scripting."
