# Linked products

**Flow Retail supports linking various types of products to a specific product, like accessories or spare parts.**

This is super-handy for remembering to recommend relevant accessories to the customer.

With the Auto-Add link type you can also *automatically* add a product to the order based upon another product. This is extra handy when selling for example soda/drinks and wanting to add a bottle deposit fee product, or some other type of fee related to a specific product, like enviromental fee, etc.

## How do I add linked products to a product?

Simply go to the relevant product in Backoffice, and find the <kbd>Linked products</kbd> tab. Here you can add the various linked products as you want.

## What are the different product link types?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flowretail.com/docs/day-to-day-operations/products/linked-products.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
