The 8 Strategic Locations for Cross Selling & Upselling
With Cross Sell & Upsell, you have the flexibility to add personalized cross sell recommendations and upsell opportunities across key locations in your store. Whether you’re boosting visibility on the product page or creating special upselling offers at checkout, our app ensures you never miss a chance to increase sales. Ready to be amazed? Let’s dive into the strategic locations where our app shines:
1. Product Page: The product page is the heart of a shopper’s decision-making process . Here, you can showcase complementary or alternative products that pair well with the item they’re browsing. Whether it’s a ‘complete the look’ suggestion or accessories that enhance the product’s utility, this location helps capture customer interest when they’re most engaged.See an example in this video or explore our help article to learn more.
2. Cart Types Often, customers might hesitate before proceeding to checkout. By placing cross sell and upsell offers on both drawer (mini-cart) and full-page cart types, you give them a gentle nudge to add more items, whether it’s an accessory for a product in their cart or a related item they hadn’t considered. This approach can effectively increase AOV.Watch the demo below on how to add cross sells and upsells to the Mini-Cart or check out the cart upsell article if you're using a traditional full-page cart.

3. Upsell Pop-Ups Upsell pop-ups trigger as customers interact with their cart, offering highly relevant suggestions based on their selected products. This feature is invaluable for last-minute recommendations, capturing customer attention when they’re already in a buying mood. Our pop-ups are customizable to match your store’s branding.

4. Post-purchase Page Even after a sale, the opportunity to boost revenue isn’t lost. On the post-purchase page, you can offer complementary products related to their recent purchase. Since customers are still in the buying mindset, this is a great way to increase order value without interrupting the checkout flow.

5. Home Page Your home page is often the first point of interaction for visitors, so why not take advantage of it? With Cross Sell & Upsell, you can promote best-sellers, new arrivals, or seasonal recommendations right from the home page, making it easier for shoppers to discover products they’ll love.

6. Collections Page The collections page helps you organize products into categories, but it’s also a prime spot to suggest additional items. With our app, you can display cross sells related to a category, ensuring customers find complementary items that enhance their shopping experience.

7. Checkout Page Many customers add products to their cart but hesitate before completing their purchase. By showcasing tailored product suggestions on the checkout page, you can tempt them to add one last item before they hit ‘Buy Now’. It’s a strategic moment to offer high-margin products or special discounts.

Customer Testimonials
Our users rave about the flexibility and impressive results they experience with Cross Sell & Upsell. Here’s what some of them have shared about how our app has transformed their sales strategy:
I didn't know what to expect and had this app sitting around for months. We finally got to work on it and tested cross-sells. The orders began coming in and increased over the months thanks to cross-sell. It is a very stable app, not hard to use. -North American Urns and Memorials
Loving the Cross Sell app! Ever since we turned it on a year ago it's quietly chugged away in the background, doing its thing, and when I checked recently it turned out it was responsible for generating $10k in sales over the last year. That's meaningful for us. -Lion's Roar Canada
Excellent app that has helped increase our AOV substantially! There were multiple requests that I've made to customer support over the last couple months and they've always provided me with excellent customer service. -Lynn & Liana Designs
