What is an Upsell?
An Upsell is an offer that is presented to the customers immediately after they had placed their order. The credit card information is saved on file, and still live on the order. All that the customer has to do, to purchase this additional product is consider the offer and click one button to buy it.
Please note: If the buyer accepts the upsell offer, an additional order will be created. The upsell product will not be added to the initial order.
How To Create An Upsell Product?
An Upsell Product can be any Art Print Product from an Art Print Store or any Standard Product from your Standard Store.

9) Now that you've selected the product options, we can move on to the setting the price of the Upsell product. Right below the selected product options you will see the regular Price of this item (production cost of the vendor + the markup you've set in the art print store). However, since the Upsell product is an time limited offer you will be offering to your buyers, you will want to offer an upsell product at a discounted price. To discount this product, use the 'Price Override - Discounted Price For Upsell Offer' field
Note: The Price You Put Here Does NOT Affect The Vendor Price Of This Product. The vendor will charge you exactly what the production cost is.
For the purpose of this demo, we are going to put in a Price Override of $359, which discounts the regular price of this product by 20% :

1) While in your Site Manager, navigate to your Standard Store.
2) Click on + Add Product to start creating a product you will use as your upsell offer

Then, type in the Name of the product and click Save at the bottom right corner.
4) Add the image of the product by clicking on + Add Photos button and selecting a photo of the upsell product.
Note: only the first image you add to the product photos will be the one that is displayed as the product preview on the left side of the Upsell Offer page. If there are additional images you need to show, you can add those to the Short Description.
5) Next, make sure that the Quantity is set high, as it will ensure that new visitors can purchase it as long as the product is in stock. By default it will be set to an optimal value of 1000.
6) Next, you will add a short description of the piece you are offering.
Note: if you would like to show the original price crossed out next to the new upsell offer price, you will need to add that here, in the Short Description of the product.
7) Next, add the Price of the Upsell Product. Keep in mind that the price you add here, will be the product price that will be offered on the Upsell Page. There will not be an additional discount that is applied to this price, so this price should already be your discounted price.
Example: You normally sell this item for $520, but as an Upsell you want to offer it for only $240. You would put $240 as the Price of the upsell product. For additional marketing impact, in the Short description you could add the original price of $520 as crossed out next to the new price of $240.
IMPORTANT: The price of the shipping for the upsell product should be included in the price of the item. On the Upsell Page, there will be no other shipping costs for the upsell product.
