There are 2 ways to maintain alternate & accessory product data - via the CMS, or in PRONTO.

CMS Maintenance

First, ensure the feature is enabled for your site:

1. Navigate to Settings → Feature Management.
2. Search for the Product Maintenance feature and click Configure.
3. Tick the boxes to Enable Maintenance of Product Accessories and Enable Maintenance of Product Alternates and Save.

Now you're ready to edit a product:

2. Search for and Edit the product you wish to add alternates/accessories to. 
   
   
3. Scroll to the Accessories or Alternates section as required. 
   
   
4. Enter a product code or description in the input box, and select the correct product from the dropdown.

6. Repeat as necessary for additional accessories and alternates.

2. Displaying content on the web

Add the Cross Sell / Up Sell widget to your product detail template to display these product suggestions to the end user. 

If particular product has no alternate or accessory products loaded against it, the widget will simply not display for that product. 

1. Navigate to Content → Standard Pages. 
   
   
2. Search for and Edit the Product Detail template.
   
   
3. Locate the best placement for this content (in our case it was Zone:Bottom), and click Add Widget. 
   
   
4. Search for and select the Cross Sell /Up Sell widget and click Add. 
   
   
5. Edit the widget and select either Cross Sell (accessories) or Up Sell (alternates) from the dropdown. 
   
   
6. Configure other options as required and click Save. 
   
   
7. If you'd like to display both alternates AND accessories on the product detail page, repeat steps 3 - 6, this time selecting the other option from the 'Cross Sell or Up Sell' dropdown.
