The Buy Together Module implements helps persuade your customers to buy a more expensive item or to buy an additional related products at a discount. By increasing your multiple item orders; you can greatly increase your revenue.
Buy Together Feature
Unlike many "up sell" and "we recommend" systems, the Buy Together module does not add steps to the checkout process. It uses one button click to add multiple products to the cart. This method will help you sell more buy reducing the steps to purchase multiple items, and result in fewer abandoned carts.
The Buy Together feature allows you to add discounts to the products when the customer purchases multiple items by adding them to the cart with the Buy Together Now button. This module uses a custom session method to track all the items a user adds to the cart, and will delete the discount if a customer removes one of the 'Buy Together' items from the cart.
The discount you offer is up to you. You can offer a set amount off each product, a percent off each product, or you can disable the discount feature all together.
