replace cross sell with related on cart page

Question

I know the correct answer is "why should you, cross sell products are supposed to be shown there". But i got a stubborn customer who wants to show the related products on the cart page.

What is the correct way to do this? Simply changing the type on Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list/items.html isn't working.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You might forgot to override the argument. It can be done like this.

<update name="checkout.cart.crosssell">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="type" xsi:type="string">crosssell</argument>
    </arguments>
</update>

Replace crosssell with the type you want (for example related).
