What app can recommend additional products to customers?

Hi, I’m looking to offer relevant additional products once the customer adds a product to their cart. this could be in the form of a pop up or “other customers also bought this”.

can someone recommend an app pls?

many thanks,

Seldon

Hi @seldon ,

For also bought products widget, there are a few apps that have this widget added to the Cart page, I think that could be considered as the same upsell purpose when people already add specific items to the cart.

You can check out Wiser https://apps.shopify.com/recommended-products-wiser or Limespot https://apps.shopify.com/limespot, which provides these widgets, they’re easy to set up and have free trials.

We have this Best upsell, cross-sell apps review, you can check it out here for more options

Hi @seldon ,

I’m Richard - CRO Expert at PageFly Landing Page Builder. Welcome to Shopify Community!

Regarding this, you could give this app a try named "Cross Sell Related Products" by Cross Sell, this app is also integrated with our app PageFly, which you can easily configure and use by dragging and dropping “Cross Sell element” to the pages.

And as you already know, cross-sell and upsell are the most effective statics to help you increase average order value, therefore, I’d like to send you a guide about the best upsell Shopify apps that we have tested and hope it will be helpful to you.

Above is my recommendations, please hit Like if you find it helpful.

Best of luck!

@seldon , You can do this with the app that is having a product recommendations feature. You can set up product recommendations on any page. I would recommend you to try the all-in-one Shopify app AiTrillion.

You can check out the product recommendation feature here: Product Recommendations

If you need any help, feel free to ask any questions or you can reach support at support@aitrillion.com.

Hi, @seldon you can check out this free app Recommended Product you can set up easily with this app to show advertising banners for recently viewed products, trending products, discounted products, and best selling products.

If you’re looking for product recommendations after a customer adds an item to their cart, there are quite a few good options depending on your needs.

Apps like Frequently Bought Together, Candy Rack, and Upsell & Cross Sell are popular choices for displaying relevant add-ons through pop-ups or “Customers also bought” sections.

If you’re just getting started, I’d choose an app that’s easy to set up, supports automatic product recommendations, and lets you customize the offer without slowing down your store.

Easy… Upsell.com. product recommendations is built in and it works with Shopify recommendations algorithm as well as manual complementary products. You can also use bundles and upsells from the product page al the way through to your thank you page

Shopify Search & Discovery (Free )

use free shopify native app

Yes, but this app won’t let you display products in the cart drawer… checkout, post purchase and thank you page/order status page. BTW upsell.com integrate with search & discory to use the same recommendations :slight_smile:

Hello, @seldon
Hope you are doing great!
You should check out ReConvert Upsell & Cross Sell. It lets you show relevant product recommendations, cart upsells, and post-purchase offers to increase your average order value.
Go and check here : Upsell.com ‑ ReConvert Upsell - Create Cart Upsell & Cross Sell + Post Purchase Upsell... | Shopify App Store

Hi Seldon,

There are quite a few apps that can do this. If you’re looking for product recommendations like “Customers also bought”, frequently bought together, or even pop-up upsell offers after an item is added to the cart, Cross Sell is worth checking out. It lets you show relevant recommendations in different parts of the shopping journey, so you can choose what fits your store best.

I’d also recommend thinking about where you want the offers to appear (product page, cart, drawer, pop-up, etc.), as that can make a big difference to conversion.

Hi @seldon,

If you’re looking to trigger cross-sells right after a customer adds an item to their cart—whether through a post-add popup or a “frequently bought together / recommended products” section—you can check out Super Upsell & Cross-Sell.

(Full disclosure: I am the developer of the app!)

Here is how it can solve this for your store:

  • Add-to-Cart Recommendations: Trigger automated product recommendations (like “Other customers also bought this”) as soon as an item is added to the cart.

  • Popup & Slide-Cart Support: Choose between a sleek popup modal or a slide-out cart drawer display depending on your theme layout.

  • Zero Code Setup: Works out-of-the-box using Shopify’s native App Blocks, so it won’t clutter your theme or slow down your page speed.

  • Free Plan Available: You can set up and test your first recommendation offers completely risk-free.

If you decide to give it a try and want any help customizing the recommendation styling to match your brand, feel free to drop me a message—I’d be happy to set it up for you!

one thing thats getting lost in the app pitches here: the recommendation data and the place it shows up are two separate layers. shopify already gives you the “customers also bought” data for free — the search & discovery app lets you curate related and complementary products per product, and any decent upsell app can read that via shopifys product recommendations api. so the real question is only where you want it displayed (post-add popup, cart drawer row, cart page), because thats the part s&d itself cant do in the cart.

practical tip whatever you pick: check that the app uses shopifys recommendation data instead of its own black box — then the curation you do in search & discovery carries over app-independent, and you can switch display apps later without redoing everything.

disclosure, i build one of the apps in this space (Verve — shows the recommendation row in the cart drawer / after add to cart, reads shopifys recommendations in automatic mode plus manual rules like “cart contains X, suggest Y”, and drops products that are already in the cart from the row; free at the moment). but honestly the s&d groundwork above matters more than which display app you end up choosing.

Most merchants think about product recommendations on the cart page or product page first, which makes sense.

Another place worth testing is the post-purchase tracking page. Customers often return to the tracking page more than once while waiting for delivery, so it can be a good spot to show related products or a small promotion without interrupting checkout.

Ann from the BestTrack team here. BestTrack is mainly an order tracking app, but the tracking page can also be used as part of the post-purchase experience.

If you’re already looking for ways to recommend products, this may be another channel to test, especially since the free plan gives you 300 tracked orders/month to start.

HI @seldon

If you’re looking for post-Add to Cart recommendations, there are several good options depending on how much customization you need:

  • Candy Rack - Great for Pop-up upsells and cross-sells immediately after the customer adds an item to their cart. It’s easy to customize and works well with most themes.
  • Rebuy Personalization Engine - Offers AI-powered product recommendations based on browsing and purchase behavior. It’s more advanced and includes analytics, but it’s also one of the more premium options.
  • Essentialwolf Upsell App - lets you create targeted upsell and cross-sell funnels based on products, collections, or cart conditions.
  • Shopify Search & Discovery - If you’re looking for a free option, you can configure related product recommendations directly within Shopify, although it doesn’t provide pop-up offers.

If your goal is to show "Customers also bought" or a popup immediately after Add to Cart, I’d start with Candy Rack or Essentialwolf Upsell App. Both are populat, intergrate well with most themes, and don’t require extensive setup.
