Related Product Rules allow you to control which products are shown as Related Products, Up-sells, or Cross-sells in Adobe Commerce.
These rules can also be targeted to specific Customer Segments for personalized merchandising experiences.
For more details, see Customer Segments.
Each rule includes a Priority setting to decide which rule applies first when multiple are active (lower number = higher priority).
