- Displays all cross-sells, up-sells, products deprecated by this product, products that deprecate this product, and any other desired associated product through simple template changes
- For products with variants (aka virtual products) shows drop downs for each feature type that is associated as a selectable feature; to handle available feature combinations shows all available in the first drop down, and each additional one is populated when a selection in a previous drop-down has been chosen
- For products with variants can display small images for each of the features of the first selectable feature type; a useful application of this is having the color be the first selectable feature type and having small images for each different color; when large images are associated with the variant products the large image will change as corresponding features are selected in the drop-down(s)
