Overview

The Add-ons Upsell Offer enables merchants to recommend optional add-on products that customers can easily include with their main purchase. These add-ons are designed to enhance the primary product, improve the overall shopping experience, and increase Average Order Value (AOV) without interrupting the buying flow.

Unlike fixed bundles, Add-ons Upsell Offers keep the main product as the core decision, while allowing customers to opt in to relevant extras with minimal effort.


Core Value & Benefits

Optional, Low-Friction Upsells

Add-ons are presented as optional enhancements, giving customers full control while gently increasing cart value.

Merchant-Controlled Trigger Products

Merchants can select specific trigger products that determine when add-on offers are shown, ensuring relevance and avoiding over-promotion.

Curated Add-on Products

Merchants manually choose which products appear as add-ons, maintaining brand consistency and logical product pairing.

Seamless Add-to-Cart Experience

Customers can add add-ons with a single click, without leaving the product page or disrupting checkout.


How Add-ons Upsell Offer Works

  1. The merchant selects one or more trigger products.

  2. Relevant add-on products are manually assigned.

  3. Optional discounts or special pricing can be configured for add-ons.

  4. When customers view or add the trigger product, the Add-ons Upsell Offer is displayed.

  5. Selected add-ons are added to the cart together with the main product.


Flexible Display & Rule Configuration

Add-ons Upsell Offers support flexible rules, including:

  • Show add-ons only for specific products or collections

  • Exclude add-ons based on product tags or vendors

  • Control where add-ons appear (product page, cart, or custom placement)

  • Enable or disable offers based on inventory availability

These rules help ensure that add-ons are contextual, helpful, and non-intrusive.


Pricing & Discount Options

Merchants can apply incentives to add-ons, such as:

  • Percentage discounts on add-on items

  • Fixed amount discounts

  • No discount (pure convenience-based upsell)

Discounts are applied automatically when add-ons are added to the cart.


Best Use Cases

Accessories & Complementary Items

Recommend accessories, tools, or compatible items that enhance the main product.

Protection & Service Add-ons

Offer warranties, shipping protection, or service plans as optional add-ons.

Refills & Replacements

Encourage future-ready purchases by offering refills or replacement parts.

Convenience Upsells

Reduce friction by suggesting frequently selected extras at the moment of purchase.


Supported Product Categories

Add-ons Upsell Offers perform best in categories where optional enhancements add clear value, such as:

  • Electronics & device accessories

  • Apparel add-ons (belts, socks, care products)

  • Beauty & skincare tools

  • Home & kitchen accessories

  • Digital services and protections


Why Choose Add-ons Upsell Offer

Compared to aggressive upsell tactics, Add-ons Upsell Offers:

  • Respect customer choice

  • Maintain a clean and intuitive shopping experience

  • Deliver consistent AOV growth

  • Work seamlessly alongside bundles and quantity breaks

By combining merchant-controlled triggers, curated add-on products, and optional incentives, Add-ons Upsell Offers help increase revenue while keeping the purchase experience simple and transparent.
