Linked categories

Verknüpfte Kategorien is used exclusively in connection with theSimilar Products module.

It forms the basis for the function known from many webshops for things like.

• “Customers who bought this product also bought”.
• Accessories for this product
• etc.

However, a verknüpfte Kategorie is not always the same for every product. Let’s take the “accessories” function as an example. For product A, the accessories are products X and Y, but for product B, they are products K and L.

Therefore, the mapping for the categories is done in the product itself. Once you have created at least one verknüpfte Kategorie, you can do the linking in the productsthemselves.
