Note: The Cross-Sell Manager is available only with Merchant Solutions Standard, Professional, and Store v.1 packages.
The cross-sell discount applies when shoppers choose their Selected Item and the Cross-Sell item together. The discount can be either a dollar amount or a percentage off -- in both cases the discount is taken from the regular item price (not the sale price).

About Discounts
- All selected and target items must have unique codes (set up in either the Store Editor or Catalog Manager, or with a database upload) and unique options codes. When entering products in Catalog Manager or Store Editor, set up each product with a unique code and set up unique options codes in the Catalog Manager if your item contains options (such as color or size). If cross-sell items are not working in checkout or on product detail pages, ensure that both selected and target items have unique codes and unique options codes.
- If more than one cross-sell discount applies to a given product, the larger discount is used. If a product also has a sale price defined, whichever is lower -- the sale price or the cross-sell discount price -- will be applied.
- If a shopper removes the Selected Item that generated a discount from their cart, they will break the discount and the price of the cross-sell product will revert to its regular price.
- If a shopper adds the cross-sell product to their cart first and subsequently adds a Selected Item that qualifies them for a cross-sell discount, they will then receive the discount.
