Post Purchase Upsells

Create targeted offers that show after checkout, before the Thank You page.

If a customer accepts the offer, the product is added to the order and payment is processed automatically. If they decline, they continue to the Thank You page.

How it works

Go to Post Purchase Upsells in Order Automator to create an offer.

When a customer checks out, Order Automator checks your enabled offers against the order data.

If an offer matches the order, it can show to the customer after checkout
If multiple offers match, the most recently created matching offer is shown
If the offered product is already in the order, that offer is skipped
If the product is unavailable in Shopify, the offer is paused until the product is active again

Only 1 post-purchase offer can show after checkout. Each accepted offer adds a quantity of 1 to the order.

The offer page can show:

Product image
Product title
Product description
Optional discount
Optional variant selector
Accept and decline buttons

Example

Enable Order Automator in Shopify checkout settings

Before offers can show, Order Automator needs to be selected as your post-purchase app in Shopify.

Go to Shopify Settings > Checkout
Scroll to the Post-purchase page section
Select Order Automator
Save your checkout settings

Create an offer

Go to Post Purchase Upsells in Order Automator
Click Create new offer
Select the product you want to offer
Add your banner heading, subheading, and button text
Choose when the offer should show
Click Create offer

Each offer can include 1 product. If that product has variants, customers can choose from the available variants on the offer page.

Discount options

Discounts are optional.

You can create:

Fixed amount discounts, ex: $5 off
Percent discounts, ex: 15% off

If you add a discount, the discounted price shows on the offer and the discount is applied when the customer accepts.

Show on all orders or certain orders

You can show an offer on all orders, or create conditions to target specific orders.

Available condition types:

Customer language
Number of items
Number of line items
Order total
Product SKU
Product title
Product type
Product vendor
Shipping country code
Variant title

Examples:

Show an accessory after a customer buys a related product
Show a bundle offer when the order total is above a certain amount
Show a country-specific offer based on shipping address

If you choose Show on certain orders, create the conditions in the rule builder. You can test conditions with the Rule Tester while creating or editing the offer.

Downsell offers

You can optionally show a downsell offer if the customer declines the first offer.

Use a downsell to offer:

A different product
A lower-priced product
A larger discount

If the customer declines the first offer and the downsell product is not already in the order, the downsell offer is shown. If they accept, the downsell product is added to the order.

Testing

After creating an offer, place a test order to go through the full customer flow:

Confirm the offer shows after checkout
Accept the offer and confirm the product is added to the order

You can also use the Rule Tester while creating or editing an offer to confirm whether an existing order matches the offer conditions.

Tips

Offer an add-on product that goes well with what the customer just bought
Offer a popular product with a discount
Use a downsell if you want to show a second offer after the first one is declined
Check stats after the offer has traffic, then adjust the product, discount, or conditions
