Cross-Sell's auto-suggest feature delivers automated related item suggestions for Selected Items, based on your store's sales and navigation (product view) histories. Cross-sell auto-suggestions displayed on product detail pages are based upon navigation history first, followed by sales history. Cross-sell auto-suggestions displayed on your shopping cart page are based upon sales history first, followed by navigation history. The navigation information auto-suggest uses for your store is refreshed on a nightly basis, while sales information is refreshed weekly.

If you have created Cross-Sell rules for your store, enabling auto-suggest will not override these rules. Rules for Selected Items will be displayed first on product detail and shopping cart pages, followed by auto-suggest item recommendations.
