Upsells

Upsells let you recommend extra products to customers who already have a subscription — and let them add the product to their subscription in one click. It's one of the easiest ways to grow average order value from subscribers you already have. This guide explains how upsell offers work and how to create one.


To find upsells, go to Super Subscriptions > Upsells.

How upsells work


An upsell offer shows an existing subscriber a recommended product. If they accept, the product is added to their subscription — there's no separate checkout, so it's a true one-click add. You can optionally attach a discount to make the offer more tempting.


Where upsells appear


Upsells are shown to existing subscribers in two places:


  • The customer portal — when a subscriber manages their subscription.
  • Subscription emails — such as the renewal reminder and subscription started emails.


Upsells are aimed at current subscribers, so they appear in the portal and emails — not on your storefront product pages. (For product-page offers like volume discounts and Buy X Get Y, see Buy X Get Y and volume discount bundles.)


Targeting and recommendations


  • Trigger — choose which subscriptions see the offer: all subscriptions, subscriptions containing specific products, or subscriptions containing products from specific collections.
  • Recommendation — choose what to offer: specific products (or products from a collection).
  • Discount — optionally apply a discount to the recommended product to boost take-up.


Creating an upsell offer


  1. Go to Super Subscriptions > Upsells and create a new offer.
  2. Set the trigger (which subscribers see it).
  3. Choose the recommended product(s).
  4. Optionally add a discount.
  5. Pick where it appears (portal and/or the chosen emails) and save.


You can track how offers perform under Super Subscriptions > Analytics (the upsell report).
