Aftersales Upsell

Increase average order value by showing product recommendations on the checkout success page, encouraging customers to make additional purchases while they're already in a buying mindset.

How It Works

  1. Customer completes a purchase
  2. They arrive at the order confirmation page
  3. Recommended products are displayed below the order summary
  4. Customer can add items to cart and checkout again

Setting Up Aftersales Upsell

  1. Go to Marketing > Aftersales Upsell
  2. Enable Aftersales Upsell
  3. Customize the section title
  4. Choose how many products to display
  5. Save your settings

Why Aftersales Upsell Works

Customers who just completed a purchase are in a buying mindset with:

  • Payment information already entered
  • Trust already established
  • High engagement on success page
  • Satisfaction from completing checkout

ProductsWhen to Use
2-3Minimal, focused recommendations
4Balanced (default)
6More variety without overwhelming
8-12Maximum exposure for large catalogs

Mobile Considerations

On mobile devices, products display in 2 columns. Showing 4-6 products provides a good balance between variety and scroll length.

Product Selection

Products are automatically selected based on:

  1. Popularity - Best-selling items shown first
  2. Availability - Only active, in-stock products
  3. Exclusion - Products from the completed order are removed

Automatic Selection Benefits

  • No manual product tagging required
  • Always shows current best sellers
  • Automatically adapts to inventory
  • Prevents showing items they just bought

What Gets Excluded

The system automatically excludes:

  • Products already in the completed order
  • Out-of-stock products
  • Inactive or hidden products
  • Products with no pricing

Add to Cart Flow

When a customer clicks on a recommended product:

  1. Product is added to their cart
  2. Cart sidebar/page opens
  3. They can checkout immediately
  4. Original order is unaffected

Seamless Experience

Customers don't need to re-enter payment information - their session remains active, making the second purchase quick and frictionless.

  • Related product lines
  • Popular standalone items

Price considerations:

  • Mix price points
  • Include affordable add-ons
  • Don't overwhelm with expensive items

Product quality:

  • Keep popular items in stock
  • Ensure product images are high quality
  • Maintain accurate descriptions

"More products"Uninspiring
"Check these out"Vague

Display Settings

Number of products:

  • Smaller catalogs (< 20 products): 2-4 recommendations
  • Medium catalogs (20-100 products): 4-6 recommendations
  • Large catalogs (100+ products): 6-12 recommendations

Mobile optimization:

  • Test on mobile devices regularly
  • Ensure product images load quickly
  • Keep titles readable at small sizes

Troubleshooting

Recommendations Not Appearing

Check:

  • [ ] Aftersales upsell is enabled
  • [ ] Store has active products (not in completed order)
  • [ ] Products have valid prices and images
  • [ ] Products are marked as active/visible

Low Click-Through Rate

Try:

  • More compelling section title
  • Better product images
  • Different product count (test more/fewer)
  • Ensure products are relevant to your audience

Low Conversion Rate

Consider:

  • Are recommended products overpriced?
  • Are they compelling enough?
  • Is checkout process too complicated?
  • Test shorter, faster checkout flow

Products Not Relevant

Remember:

  • Selection is based on popularity across all customers
  • Products from completed order are automatically excluded
  • Keep your best products active and in stock
  • Consider manual product curation in future updates
