A merchant seeks an affordable, lightweight solution to add product upsell offers in the checkout/payment section. They’ve found existing apps either too feature-heavy or expensive for their simple needs.
Suggested Solutions:
Section Store App: Offers cross-sell/upsell functionality for a one-time $9 fee with no recurring charges. However, it’s unclear if it works specifically on the checkout page (confirmed for cart/product pages).
BiDeal Bundle Volume Discounts: Provides product recommendations in the cart progress bar area. Features easy setup without coding, displays relevant products/bundles at key conversion points, and aims to increase average order value.
Custom Script Solution: One user implemented a lightweight script that adds a checkbox on checkout to auto-add products when clicked. Suggests hiring a Shopify developer on Fiverr/Upwork for one-time setup as a cost-effective alternative to monthly app subscriptions.
The discussion remains open with no definitive resolution, though multiple budget-friendly alternatives to expensive monthly apps have been proposed.
Hi, we are looking for a slim and sleek solution to add a small product offer to the checkout / payment section. Unfortunately we only found overloaded apps or very pricy apps for a relatively “small” feature that we actually need. Does anyone have a suggestion how we can add this additional offer in the checkout without adding a huge app or high fees to our shop? Examples:
Thank you very much in advance!
Please checkout section store app. I just saw today that it has a feature called cross sell and upsell which you can buy for $9 for lifetime. No recurring charges.
One catch though I don’t know if you can add this on checkout, for adding on cart page or product page that’s easy
Hi @NATGYM
To add an upsell box or product recommendations to your Shopify store, especially in the cart (progress bar) area, I recommend using the BiDeal Bundle Volume Discounts app. Here’s how you can do it with BiDeal:
- Product Recommendation Feature:
BiDeal offers a built-in product recommendation option that lets you display upsell offers right in your cart’s progress bar area. This is perfect for encouraging customers to add extra products or bundles before checking out.
Key Benefits:
Easy to configure—no coding required.
Lets you showcase relevant products, bundles, or discounted add-ons at a crucial conversion point.
Helps increase your average order value by nudging customers toward additional purchases during the cart/checkout experience.
How to Set It Up:
Install the BiDeal Bundle Volume Discounts app from the Shopify App Store.
In the app’s settings, go to the “Product Recommendations” or “Cart Upsell” section.
Select the products you want to recommend and enable the option to show them prominently in the cart progress bar.
Save your settings and preview your cart page to see the upsell box in action.
Using BiDeal’s product recommendations in your cart progress bar is a proven way to boost conversions and maximize the value of every sale—no complex code or theme editing needed!
I had the same issue didn’t want to pay $50/mo for one tiny upsell. I ended up using a lightweight script to show a checkbox on the checkout page that auto-adds the product if clicked. Works like a charm and doesn’t slow down the shop. If you don’t code, you can hire a Shopify dev on Fiverr/Upwork for a one-time setup instead of ongoing app fees.
