More robust, customizable upsells at checkout
The power of upsells is a great way to make bigger sales: give your customers an exclusive discount when they add additional products in their order.
Let's take an example. For instance, suppose you sell an online design class. When customers pay for your course, you can provide your clients with registration to the upcoming live webcast at a discounted price. They're already buying something from you. What could be a bargain to have an extra product for sale!
Provide more information on the upsell product that's displayed and tailor the copy for each offer. You can:
Include a subtitle and a title to the upsell page.
Add a custom name and description to each item.
Dynamically show up to three merchandise at checkout. (If buyers have already purchased an item, they don't think of it as an offering. You are able to make as many additional products you'd like to the upsell list.)
