Link Products

Use the Links tab in the Product Editor to create links between products. You can link from or to products.

Use the Links tab in the Product Editor to create links between products. You can link from or to products. For example, you can want to show the spare parts for a product on the product detail page and show "fits for..." at the spare parts detail page without having to maintain two relationships. For example, create two products Vacuum_cleanerX and NozzleX. Under Vacuum_cleanerX, list NozzleX as a product link so you can link them on the product detail page. Then list Vacuum_cleanerX as a product link for NozzleX, so that you can show all the nozzles on one "fits for..." page on the storefront showing links to each respective vacuum_cleaner.

Business Manager includes a product recommendations feature that lets you link a product to another product or a category to a product. We encourage you to use this feature instead of product links.

Select site > Merchant Tools > Products and Catalogs > Products > product.

On the Product page Links tab, in the Linked From section, select a link type to view, from the Link type dropdown.
