 Optional products
 =================
 
-The use of optional products is a marketing strategy that involves the cross-selling of products
-along with a core product. The aim is to offer useful and related products to customers, which may
-result in an increased sale.
+The use of optional products is a marketing strategy that involves the cross-selling of useful and
+related products alongside a desired core product. For instance, by configuring optional products, a
+customer could be suggested a mouse and keyboard or an extended warranty when they add a laptop to
+their shopping cart.
 
-For instance, if a customer wants to buy a car, they have the choice to order massaging seats, as
-well, or ignore the offer and simply buy the car. Presenting the choice to purchase optional
-products enhances the customer experience.
+Optional products are automatically suggested during the quotation process whenever an associated
+core product is added to a quote. They are also suggested in eCommerce interactions when a customer
+adds an associated core product to their shopping cart.

-Optional products on quotation templates
-========================================
-
-.. note::
-   Be sure to review the :doc:`quote_template` documentation to better understand how quotation
-   templates work before reading the following information.
-
-For quotation templates, just like a typical quotation form, there is also an :guilabel:`Optional
-Products` tab, wherein related products or services can be added to a quotation template.
-
-To add optional products to a quotation template, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app -->
-Configuration --> Quotation Templates`. Then, either select an existing quotation template to edit,
-or create a new one by clicking :guilabel:`New`.
-
-On the quotation template form, click the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab. Under the
-:guilabel:`Optional Products` tab, click :guilabel:`Add a line`, and select the desired product to
-add as an optional product to the quotation template.

-
-The products added in the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab are present in the quotation, by
-default, whenever that particular quotation template is used. These products can be removed, and
-additional products can be added, before the quotation is sent to a customer.
-
-.. tip::
-   It's best to offer optional products that would encourage a customer to add additional items to
-   their order, or entice them to purchase a more expensive version of their initially selected
-   product.
-
-   For example, if a customer purchases a wooden chair, some optional products could be: a warranty
-   on that chair and/or a wooden chair with leather seats.

 .. note::
-   There is no limit to how many optional products can be added to a quotation template.
+   Optional products are differentiated from accessory products and alternative products by where
+   they appear in the customer's shopping experience.
+
+   - Optional products are suggested when a core product has been added to a cart or a quotation.
+   - Accessory products appear as suggestions when viewing an eCommerce cart.
+   - Alternative products are suggested at the bottom of an eCommerce product page whenever the
+     product page is viewed.
+
