Selling

Order bumps, upsells, gifts and recommendations

Promotions holds the tools that add to an order on your store and at checkout.

Where each tool appears

  • On-site upsell is a card on your storefront, before checkout.
  • Checkout upsell is a flat-fee add-on shoppers switch on at checkout.
  • Order bump is a product card in the order summary.
  • You may also like is a row of products beside the order summary.
  • Free gift with purchase adds a gift on its own, with nothing to click.

Bundles, volume pricing and post-purchase offers have their own articles. You need synced Shopify products to pick a product in these tools, except for the flat-fee checkout upsell.

Order bumps

Accepting a bump adds the product to the same order at its store price minus your discount of 0 to 90%. Choose when it shows: always, when the cart contains a product, or when it does not. Add a card title, a headline, stars and review text if you want. Rules run top to bottom, and the first match shows. A product already in the cart is never offered again.

Checkout upsells

These are flat-fee add-ons such as priority processing. They show when the Upsells block is on in your checkout design. The ones a shopper picks are added to the total and the Shopify order.

On-site upsells

Place the card on the product page or the cart drawer. The product page is reliable. The cart drawer depends on your theme. Accepting adds the product to the normal Shopify cart at its catalogue price. Up to three matching rules show.

You may also like

The row appears once a product is active here, and it shows the first three. One tap adds the product at your catalogue price. Shipping, discounts and any free gift are then recalculated. A product is not shown if it left your catalogue, is priced in another currency than your checkout charges, or is subscription only and hidden as an add-on. The list tells you which reason applies.

Free gift with purchase

A gift unlocks when the items in the cart reach a spend threshold, or when the cart contains a trigger product in a quantity you set. Leave the gift price blank or 0 for a free gift, or enter a price for a discounted one. The first matching rule adds its gift, and each order gets one gift. The gift lands as a real line on the Shopify order.

Extra conditions and limits

Bumps can also be limited by cart subtotal and other conditions in the Extra conditions fields. You can have up to 50 rules each for order bumps, on-site upsells and free gifts, and up to 24 recommendations.

See what they earn

Open Flow: every bump, flat-fee upsell and post-purchase offer is an automation row there. Revenue covers the last 30 days and counts only the add-on's own amount, not the whole order it rode on.
