As far as I can see, there is no related products loop available for that cart? Unless you use an external service as Raptor SmartAdvisor or something like that. 

Showing related products in the cart, based on the contents of the cart can help increase the average order size, thus boosting the overall revenue.

Hi,

We have these related loops in the cart:

eCom:Related.SavedForLater
eCom:Related.WhatAboutTheseProducts
eCom:Related.CustomersWhoSawThisAlsoSaw
eCom:Related.CustomersWhoBoughtThisItemAlsoBought
eCom:Related.MostPopularProducts
eCom:Related.YouHaveSeenTheseProducts
eCom:Related.ProductSmartSearches

They are available in the "root" of e.g. the ShowCart template.

Are they usefull?

Kind regards,

Merethe

Hi Merethe

Ok, it's just that your documentation only mentions eCom:Related.SavedForLater as available in the cart. 
http://templates.dynamicweb.com/eCommerce/Dynamicweb-eCommerce-template-tags/Shopping-Cart-V2/Order/Cart.aspx

The others are only mentioned on the product detail page
http://templates.dynamicweb.com/eCommerce/Dynamicweb-eCommerce-template-tags/Product-Catalog/Product-detail.aspx

But you are saying that if you use eCom:Related.CustomersWhoBoughtThisItemAlsoBought on a product detail page, then the suggestions are based on the single product, and if you use it in the cart, the suggestions are based on all products in the cart?

If so, that is extremely useful.
