More robust, customizable upsells during checkout
It is an effective method to increase sales. Give your customers an exclusive discount for adding additional items to their purchase.
Let's take an example. For instance, suppose you sell an online course in design. When customers pay for your course, you can give your customers the option of registering for an upcoming live webinar at a discounted price. Customers are already purchasing something from you - what could be a bargain to have the additional item on sale, too!
Provide more information on the product you're displaying and tailor the copy to the specific offer. You can:
Create a subtitle as well as a title to the page of upsells.
Include a customized title and description for each item.
It is possible to show three products at checkout. (If customers have already bought a product, they won't think of it as an offer. You are able to add as many products as you like to the potential listing of upsells.)
