What do you think?")* I got this to work the I want by modifying the cart view as follows: Replace this: <tbody> <?php $k = 0; $this->cart_product_price = true; $group = $this->config->get('group_options',0); foreach($this->rows as $i => $row){ if(empty($row->cart_product_quantity)) continue; if($group && $row->cart_product_option_parent_id) continue; } ?> With this: <tbody> <?php $k = 0; $this->cart_product_price = true; $group = $this->config->get('group_options',0); foreach($this->rows as $i => $row){ if(empty($row->cart_product_quantity)) continue; if($group && $row->cart_product_option_parent_id) continue; $prodlink_id = $row->product_id; foreach($this->rows as $j => $r) { if ($row->cart_product_parent_id == $r->cart_product_id) { $prodlink_id = $r->product_id; continue; } } ?> My only worry is that this might cause performance problems if there are a large number of products - what do you think?

The ideal solution would be to handle that case on the product page so that related products are displayed even if it's the variant id in the URL.
