The Secret to Increasing AOV: Post-Checkout Upsells That Work

Every completed Shopify order is an opportunity to offer customers products they might need next. Easy Subscriptions’ Post-Checkout Upsell feature lets merchants suggest complementary products, add-ons, or subscription upgrades immediately after checkout, without interrupting the original purchase.

This helps merchants increase Average Order Value (AOV) while giving customers a smooth, one-click experience. Accepted upsells are automatically added to the original order, keeping billing, fulfillment, and inventory fully aligned.

How Post-Checkout Upsells Work in Easy Subscriptions

Once a customer completes checkout, Easy Subscriptions automatically triggers the upsell flow. A modal or thank-you page widget displays personalized product suggestions based on what the customer purchased or their subscription type.

Merchants can pre-configure upsells using:

• Product tags or categories
  
• Subscription type (monthly, quarterly, etc.)
  
• Order value
  

When customers click “Add This to My Order”, the upsell products are added to the existing order, and an updated order confirmation email can be sent if configured.

Example Scenario

A customer buys a coffee machine. After checkout, an upsell could suggest:

“Add compatible coffee pods to your order — one click and it’s added automatically!”

No extra checkout steps, no interruptions — just a smooth opportunity to increase AOV.

Key Benefits of Post-Checkout Upsells

Increase Average Order Value (AOV)

Offer complementary products immediately after checkout, helping merchants earn more per order without additional ad spend.

Enhance Customer Experience

Upsells are non-intrusive and appear at the perfect time — after purchase — making the process intuitive and simple.

Simplify Merchant Workflow

Accepted upsells are automatically added to the original Shopify order. No manual updates are required.

Encourage Repeat Engagement

By suggesting relevant add-ons or subscription upgrades, merchants can help customers explore more products.

3. Add Upsell Products
   Select one or more products to display immediately after checkout.
   
4. Set Display Preferences
   Choose placement: Thank-You Page(Post Checkout), Product Page, or both.

   Enable the upsell and monitor performance via the Easy Subscriptions dashboard.
   

With just a few clicks, every checkout can become a new revenue opportunity.

Best Practices for Post-Checkout Upsells

• Keep Offers Relevant: Suggest products that complement the original purchase.
  
• Use Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): Buttons like “Add to My Order” make acceptance simple.
  
• Monitor Performance: Track upsell impressions, conversions, and incremental revenue to understand what works best.
  

Following these practices ensures Shopify merchants maximize revenue opportunities without adding friction to the customer experience.

Why Post-Checkout Upsells Matter

Traditional upsell pop-ups before checkout can interrupt the buying flow and risk cart abandonment. Easy Subscriptions’ post-checkout upsell avoids these issues:

• Zero Disruption: Checkout is complete before any upsell appears.
  
• Higher Acceptance Potential: Customers are already in “buying mode.”
  
• Seamless Integration: Orders update automatically, keeping Shopify inventory and billing accurate.
  

Post-checkout upsells are a low-effort, high-impact strategy for Shopify merchants looking to grow revenue efficiently.
