Checkout upsells

Shopify checkout upsell: bumps, one-click post-purchase offers, and where each one can actually run.

The two upsell placements that reliably lift average order value are the order bump beside the pay button and the one-click offer right after payment. Shopify's checkout supports the second through apps and mostly blocks the first. This page maps every placement, what it typically converts, and how to run all of them on a checkout you control.

The placements, ranked by where the buyer's mind is

Take rates depend on offer fit far more than placement; a refill of the product being bought beats a random accessory every time.

What Shopify apps can and cannot do

Running both on a custom checkout

1

Order bump

A tick-box offer beside the pay button with its own price and image, added to the same order before capture. Product names and prices read from Shopify so nothing drifts.

2

One-click upsell

After capture, one offer, one button, charged to the tokenised card through the same gateway route. Accepted offers are appended to the Shopify order or written as a linked order.

Both are configured per store in the CascadeCheckout console, with rules by product, cart value and country. Because the checkout is yours, they work with every gateway you connect, including the ones Shopify's post-purchase framework skips.

Offers that work

Avoid offers that require a decision: comparison shopping at the pay button reduces the main conversion.

Tracking the lift

Measure average order value and checkout completion together. A bump that raises AOV by eight percent but lowers completion by four percent is a loss. Both numbers are on the store dashboard by route, device and offer.

Frequent questions

Can I add an upsell to Shopify checkout?

Post-purchase one-click upsells work on all plans through apps. In-checkout order bumps need Plus, or a checkout you control.

What is an order bump?

A small add-on offer shown beside the pay button, added to the same order with one tick before payment.

Do post-purchase upsells work with every payment method?

No. Shopify's post-purchase framework skips some wallets and gateways. A custom checkout runs offers on every route it connects.

Will upsell orders show in Shopify?

Yes. Accepted bumps are part of the order; post-purchase offers are appended or linked, depending on your setup.

Bring your store URL and the gateway that already said yes.
