Upselling and Cross-selling Products

Upselling is the well-known practice of convincing a customer to upgrade their purchase by adding extra features like warranties and bonuses, or even buying a more expensive item instead. Cross-selling is the equally popular marketing strategy of displaying related items that complement a customer’s purchase. Either approach can lead to an increase in sales.

Your Shift4Shop store comes out of the box with features to help you upsell and cross-sell, available right where you manage your products. Upsell items and related items for cross-selling will appear directly on the product pages, in clear view while your customers shop.

Upselling & Cross-selling Functionality

  • Upsell and Related items manageable directly on a product’s page in your dashboard
  • Upsell and Related items visible to customers right where they shop
  • Both types of items can be sorted according to your preference

Upsell and Cross-Sell Feature Testimonials

“I can’t believe this is all so easy, I can add related items right from a product page rather than my store automatically generating them based on categories or something. It’s so much better that it’s manual, it shows my customers I put thought into my store rather than automation. And the related and upsell items are within my customers’ attention while they shop, enticing without being obtrusive. These features were well thought out in my opinion.”
