Using Cross Sells in your shopping cart can be a dangerous game because some customers will visit your Cross Sell products and never make it back to the cart.  However, if you manage your Cross Sells properly then you can increase your order sizes without reducing your conversion through your shopping cart by choosing Cross Sell products which always sell well with specific products.

The SuperManager has the capability to  you with generating the list of products that you can use as Cross Sells that sell well with a specific product. 

Here's how to do it:

1. Open the SuperManager and click "View->Orders"
2. Then enter some keywords (product code, manufactuer, product family, etc) in the SuperFind search box and then click "SuperFind!".  The SuperManager will show you all orders that contain products that match your search.
3a.  Next, you can print a summary of all the items in the orders by selecting all orders in the order list and then right clicking on "Print Summary".
3b.  Or you can export a csv file summary of all of the items in the orders by selecting all orders in the order list and then right click on "Export->Picklist".  You can then import the csv file into Excel for further formatting.

Once you have the summaries of all items that show up in the orders with the initial product then you can quickly get a good idea of what accessories or products would work well as cross sells for the original product that you were searching for.

Once you have the cross sell information then there are many ways to import this information into your Yahoo! store to setup the cross sells.  You can find more information about setting up Cross sells on Yahoo! Store Help .

If you would like us to  you with setting up Cross Sells then please contact us directly at info@thesupermanager.com

Good luck!
