    Manage relations

    Sold Together module build relations between products. There are two types of relations:

    • ‘Bought together’ - relation means product A bought together with product B in the same order.
    • ‘Also bought’ - relation means customer who bought product A also bought product B with his other order.

    Relation between products has its weight. In simple words, weight is a number of times this relation happened.

    Sold Together block shows products with biggest relation weight.

    Import/export relations

    Module adds new data transfer entities to Magento Import/Export interfaces:

    • Sold Together - Customers Also Buy;
    • Sold Together - Frequently Bought Togther.

    You can read more about data export and import at official Magento 2 docs.

    Exported data are stored in CSV file. You can use the same CSV file import.

    Data import has three behaviors:

    • Add/Update - if imported relation doesn’t exist then it is created else existing relation weight is increased on weight from import file;
    • Replace - if imported relation doesn’t exist then it is created else existing relation weight replaced with weight from import file;
    • Delete - all relations that exist in import file are deleted form DB.

    Import and export can be really handy when you need to work with big amounts of data.

    Index/reindex relations

    This can be useful when you just installed module and have no Sold Together relations. But have some number of placed orders. The more orders you have the better index results you get.

    Via Magento Admin

    Index via Magento Admin

    In Magento Admin click on menu item Swissup 🡪 SoldTogether section 🡪 Frequently Bought Together (or Customers Who Bought…).

    There you can find button “Index Orders”. This button will rebuild relations.

    PS: all manully created relations (“Is Admin” = Yes) will be left untucked.

    CLI command

    It is possible to index relations via bin/magento command.

    Index/reindex ‘Bought together’ relations:

    bin/magento swissup:soldtogether:customer:reindex

    Index/reindex ‘Also bought’ relations:

    bin/magento swissup:soldtogether:order:reindex

    Change relations for a product

    Edit product relation

    Open product you need in Magento Admin. Under section “SoldTogether” there is a grid where you can rearragne/remove/add relations.
