Upsell
Offering customers a more expensive or upgraded version of what they're already buying.
Effective upsells feel helpful, not pushy. Timing matters — show them after the customer has chosen something but before they pay. Bundles, warranties, or faster shipping are common upsells in e-commerce.
Done right, it improves customer satisfaction and revenue at the same time.
It's like when you order a burger and the cashier asks if you want to make it a meal with fries and a drink for a bit more. The customer gets more value; the business increases the order size.
Real world: On a dropshipping or Shopify store, when someone adds headphones to the cart, the site suggests premium earbuds or a bundle with a case. Many stores increase average order value 20-30% with smart upsells at checkout.
💡 A good upsell gives customers more of what they want while helping your business earn more per sale.
