Linked Products Tab
This tab has two options….Upsells & Cross Sells. Here we describe the difference between with examples :
Difference between Upsells & Cross-Sells Products:

Upsells: An upsell is to get the customer to spend more money – buy a more expensive model of the same type of product, or add features / warranties that relate to the product in question.
Cross-sells: A cross-sell is to get the customer to spend more money buy adding more products from other categories than the product being viewed or purchased.
The terms cross-sell and upsell are often used interchangeably because, let’s face it, this gets confusing.
Say the customer is viewing a 4GB iPod Nano for Rs.12,500.
Upsell items :
8 GB iPod Nano, Rs. 17,000 -> Upsell, same product family, more expensive
8 GB iPod Touch, Rs. 18,000 -> Upsell, same product family, more expensive
16 GP iPod Touch, Rs. 30,000 –> Upsell, same product family, more expensive
8 GB Microsoft Zune, Rs. 18,500 -> Upsell, more expensive, same category
Cross-Sell items:
Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic , Rs. 3,000 -> Cross-sell
Skull Candy Headphones, Rs. 2000, -> Cross-sell
Rs. 1,500 iTunes Card -> Cross-sell
Portable DVD Player, Rs. 22,500 -> Cross-sell.
