Now you are able to attach products to the mixed match. You can do this manually within the mixedmatch or you can add an article list to the mixedmatch. This is the fastest way.

You can easily import an excel file to a productlist. You can create a mixedmatch with 100+ products in it. Using a mixedmatch with more than 1,000 products does not effect the performance of the till.
