Set up cross-sell products

From the Flash Cart menu in the admin sidebar, click Cross-sells to manage your cross-sell recommendations.

By default, all slots are filled by Automatic recommendations, unless you’ve chosen to disable them in the Cross-sells settings. You can replace automatic recommendations with Global cross-sells and Handpicked cross-sells.

Which cross-sell products will be shown?

Every product displays a maximum of 4 cross-sell products. Flash Cart follows these rules to select which cross-sell products to show:

Cross-sells are shown in order of priority: 1. Handpicked, 2. Global, then 3. Automatic.
  • If a product has 4 handpicked items, they will fill all available slots. Global items fill remaining slots after handpicked items. Automatic items fill remaining slots after handpicked and global items.

Cross-sells appear in the order they are assigned.

  • If there are multiple products in the cart, the block will display all the cross-sells that are assigned first for each product, then it will display the second assigned items, and so on.
  • You can change the order of the products in Cross-sells settings. Use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order the cross-sell items.

Duplicate cross-sells will not be shown.

  • If two products in the cart have the same cross-sell, it will appear only once.
  • If a cross-sell is added to the cart, it will not appear in the cross-sells block.
