Configuration and Management

Product Cross-Selling For WHMCS allows you to define cross-selling rules and offer suggested products to the ordered services.

Let us now take you through the configuration process at the end of which your module will be ready to work!

Addon Configuration

Products

Products page includes a list of all products and services from your WHMCS.
By default, each product is disabled for cross-selling and awaits quick and easy configuration. Begin the configuration by pressing the 'Edit Product Details' button.
PCS 7.png
Now, specify the product details:
  • Select Background Color to attract the client attention
  • Add Image that will be displayed on this product's customized tail (required)
    Note: It is advised to upload square-shaped images to avoid their deformation. Accepted image formats: '.gif .png .jpg .jpeg'.
  • Change the Status to enabled to allow showing this product as suggested in the client area
  • Provide a short Description of the product, it will let the client get the gist of its usage and purpose

Press 'Confirm' when ready.

PCS 8.png
Once confirmed, you may move again to the product details to see the image preview and alter it or its background if necessary.
PCS 8 1.png
In this way, enable and configure as many products as you wish.
Then, move to the 'Cross-Selling Details' configuration of an active product.
PCS 9.png

Cross-Selling Details

In product Cross-Selling Details section you will find two separate tables. One dedicated to 'Related Items' and the other dedicated to 'Recommended Items'.
Both of them are configured in the very same way. To start, simply press the button 'Add Related Item'.
PCS 10.png
Related Items
If you have already configured and enabled any of the main products in the previous step, you may now proceed to adding items to the list of 'Related Items'.
  • Set status to enabled (you may disable it at any time)
  • Select an item from the list of available ones
    Note: Products which require a domain cannot be defined as related and are not available on the list of products to choose from.
    It is a temporary limit, a solution will be implemented in the nearest version of the module.
  • Define the product priority, the higher the number the higher the priority level and higher position on the list of suggested items in the client area cross-selling section
  • You can now change the default image of the product. It will be used only when this very item is displayed as related
  • The same way change the item description if you wish

'Confirm' the action when ready.

PCS 11.png
Repeat this step and add as many elements to the 'Related Items' section of this one item as you need.
PCS 11 1.png
Recommended Items
As mentioned previously, recommended items are added and configured in the very same way as related items.
PCS 12.png
Set up the item details:
  • Set status to enabled (you may disable it at any time)
  • Select an item from the list of available ones
    Note: Products which require a domain cannot be defined as recommended and are not available on the list of products to choose from.
    It is a temporary limit, a solution will be implemented in the nearest version of the module.

    Note: If your addons are not visible on the list of addons to choose from, please make sure that they are assigned to selected products in WHMCS product addon configuration.
  • Define the product priority, the higher the number the higher the priority level and higher position on the list of recommended items in the client area cross-selling section
  • You can now change the default image of the product. It will be used only when this item is displayed as recommended
  • The same way change the product description if you wish

'Confirm' the action when ready.

PCS 13.png
Repeat this step and add as many elements to the 'Recommended Items' section of this one item as you need.
Allowed actions on related and recommended items:
  1. Priority Up - change the priority level to one point higher (if applicable)
  2. Priority Down - change the priority level to one point lower (if applicable)
  3. Edit Item - alter the item tail details
  4. Delete Item - remove this item from the list
PCS 14.png
Use mass action buttons to quickly change the status of numerous products or delete them from the list in bulk.

Note: The same actions are valid for both related and recommended items.

PCS 15.png

Addons

Addons page presents a list of all addons available in your WHMCS. You can also modify your addons according to your preferences to decide what they will look like in the client area.
PCS 15 1.png
Click on the edit icon to set 'Background Color' , 'Image' as well as 'Description' of the particular addon. Once ready, confirm your changes.
PCS 15 2.png

Settings

The 'Settings' section allows you to alter the number of items which are displayed in carousel on small, medium and large screen before the client will have to scroll the carousel.
PCS 15 3.png
You can easily change your preferences by selecting the number of items from the dropdown menu.
PCS 15 4.png

Module Logs

In 'Logs' section you may preview a full list of clients' actions of adding to a cart any related or recommended items.

Use action buttons to delete single log entries.

PCS 16.png

Client Area

Here is a list of all order forms that can be used with Product Cross-Selling module to suggest products:
  • Standard Cart
  • Boxes
  • Modern
  • Cloud Silver
  • Universal Slider
  • Premium Comparison
  • Pure Comparison
  • Supreme Comparison
  • Lagom


Related and recommended items appear instantly after adding a single product into the cart.
Take a look at the suggested products, compare prices and select the ones that seem the most attractive to you.
Press the 'Order' button directly on the tile to add the selected product to the cart.

PCS 17.png
After adding a new product, the list of related and recommended products is updated adequately to the content of the cart.

The priority of displaying new suggested products depends on the order of items added into the cart.
Products suggested to the last item in the cart will be displayed at the top, then suggestions for the last but one item will appear, and so on.

Review them again searching for interesting bargains.

Important: Visible on the tiles and in the order summary discounted prices are triggered by Discount Center For WHMCS module.
Integrate the two modules to enjoy full potential of Product Cross-Selling For WHMCS!

PCS 18.png

Tips

1. It is advised to suggest products that do not require any additional configuration when adding to cart (e.g. additional fields, configurable options, domains, MarketConnect services etc.)
Keep in mind that this is a temporary limitation and will be solved in the future versions of the module.
2. Products of Server/VPS type when added to the cart from the list of related or recommended cannot be instantly configured.
Press 'Edit' to configure the ordered product.
3. In case a related/recommended item has various billing cycles, the shortest billing cycle is offered for clients in the suggestion box.

Update Instructions

An essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here.

Keep in mind there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price!
To take advantage of it, simply use the License Upgrade button located on the product's page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
