Here's a rundown of how these work:
To make the most of Aftersell's potential, understanding the functional and strategic differences between these upsell options is imperative.
One click Upsells
Display immediately after Checkout but before the Thank You Page.
Your customer’s payment information is already saved, allowing them to accept the offer with just one click.
This makes it easy to convert, helping you generate extra revenue effortlessly.
The upsell is combined with the original order, which means no additional shipping costs or fulfillment steps for your team.- This bundling ensures reduced shipping costs and facilitates easier order tracking for your team.
Thank You Page Upsells
Appear on the Thank You Page, which shows after the post-purchase page. This page may also be called the Order Status or Order Confirmation page.
Payment information is not saved at this point, since checkout has already been completed.
Customers must re-enter their payment details and complete checkout again to accept the offer.
These upsells create a second order that is separate from the original.
If the customer abandons the second checkout, the upsell order remains in Draft status.- Thank You Page upsells are also limited by Shopify to allow only one product per upsell offer, and all products must be visible across the entire site.- Because the checkout phase has ended, customization options for Thank You Pages remain limited, requiring thorough planning.
Limitations and Workarounds
Shopify restrictions mean products used in Thank You Page upsells must always be visible sitewide.
Aftersell provides settings to automatically hide already-purchased products to enhance customer alignment and avoid redundancy.
