For instance, if a customer wants to buy a car, they have the choice to order massaging seats, as

products enhances the customer experience.

If a customer wants to buy a car, they have the choice to order massaging seats as

Optional products appear as a section on the bottom of sales orders and eCommerce pages. Customers
