Shopping experiences

If you want to use the same recommendation group for multiple products you can consider to add a Tweakwise recommendation block to the shopping experience for the product detail page. This approach has as advantage that you don't have to configure a cross sell for every product on it's own. Please note that this element is a separate block on your product detail page and doesn't affect Shopware's default cross sell element.

  1. Go to Content => Shopping experiences
  2. Select the layout you want to add the recommendation to.
  3. Add a block using the plus-sign
  4. Under 'Block Category', select 'Tweakwise'
  5. Drag the Cross sell recommendation block to your grid.
  6. Click the clog icon to configure the settings.
  7. Provide a 'Group key'. You can configure group keys in the Tweakwise app.
