Association types
An association type names a kind of product-to-product link: cross-sell, up-sell, accessory, spare part. The products themselves are linked on the product editor's Associations tab; this list defines what kinds of link exist.
Where you find it
Commerce Studio › PIM › Data model › Association types —
/commerce/data-model?tab=association-types.
What it does
The tab lists the types with two flags each. Two-way means the link shows on both products; Quantified means the link carries a quantity — a spare part association can say the machine uses four of them. New association type creates one. This tab has no search box.

| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Code | The stable identifier, for example cross_sell or spare_part. |
