Optional products

|

|

The use of optional products is a marketing strategy for cross-selling products along with a core
|
||||
product. The aim is to offer useful and related products to your customers. For instance, if a
|
||||
customer wants to buy a car, he has the choice to order an automatic opening trunk and massaging
|
||||
seats, or not to order such high-quality products and simply buy his car.

Add optional products to your quotations
|

For instance, if a customer wants to buy a car, they have the choice to order massaging seats, as
|
||||
well, or ignore the offer and simply buy the car. Presenting the choice to purchase optional
|
||||
products enhances the customer experience.

Optional products on quotations
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
With the Odoo *Sales* application, it is possible to add or modify optional products directly on
|
||||
quotations by navigating to the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab on a quotation form.

|

Click the :guilabel:`Customer Preview` button to reveal a preview of the quotation customers
|
||||
would receive via email, along with the optional products they have a chance of adding to their
|
||||
order.

|
||||
|
||||
In practice, customers are able to add different optional products to an order by clicking the
|
||||
:guilabel:`🛒 (shopping cart)` icon, located to the right of the optional product line. If a
|
||||
customer selects all the optional products suggested, these additional items are automatically
|
||||
filled in on the quotation that is managed by the salesperson.

When the customer adds an optional product(s) to an order, the salesperson is instantly notified
|
||||
about the change, along with any other change the customer makes to an order. This allows
|
||||
salespeople to stay up-to-date with everything related to an order in the backend of the *Sales*
|
||||
application.

Optional products on quotation templates
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
With Odoo Sales, it is possible to add or modify optional products directly on quotations
|
||||
(under the **Optional Products** tab, as you can see below).
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Be sure to review the documentation on how to
|
||||
:doc:`/applications/sales/sales/send_quotations/quote_template` to better understand how
|
||||
quotation templates work before reading the following information.

|
||||
For quotation templates, just like a typical quotation form, there is also an :guilabel:`Optional
|
||||
Products` tab, wherein related products or services can be added to a quotation template.
|
||||
|
||||
To add optional products to a quotation template, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app -->
|
||||
Configuration --> Quotation Templates`. Then, either select an existing quotation template to edit,
|
||||
or create a new one by clicking :guilabel:`New`.
|
||||
|
||||
On the quotation form, click :guilabel:`Edit`, then click the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab.
|
||||
Under the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab, click :guilabel:`Add a line`, and select the desired
|
||||
product to add as an optional product to the quotation template.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
It's best to offer optional products that would encourage a customer to add additional items to
|
||||
their order, or entice them to purchase a more expensive version of their initially selected
|
||||
product.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if a customer purchases a wooden chair, some optional products could be: a warranty
|
||||
on that chair and/or a wooden chair with leather seats.
|
||||
|
||||
When the desired optional product(s) have been added, click :guilabel:`Save` to save all changes.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
By clicking on the **Customer Preview** button, you will be able to see what your customers
|
||||
will have as possibilities after opening a quotation from their received email.
|
||||
There is no limit to how many optional products can be added to a quotation template.

||||

|
||||
The products added in the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab are present in the quotation, by
|
||||
default, whenever that particular quotation template is used.
|
||||
|
||||
In practice, your customers will be able to add different optional products to their order by
|
||||
using associated carts, with a user-friendly layout. More than that, if a customer selects all the
|
||||
optional products suggested, these additional items will automatically fill in the quotation
|
||||
managed by the salesman.

|
||||
all the better.
