Set Up Cart Popup Product Recommendations
Plans: All Plans Platforms: Shopify
The cart popup smart upsell widget is a great upselling technique to put more products in front of your customers before they reach the checkout page. The widget allows you to display single and multiple product recommendations on a popup based on the customer’s current product selection or products in the cart as soon as they click the buy now, add-to-cart, or proceed to checkout button.
The cart popup product recommendations can be configured to display
On the product page, when the customer adds a product to the cart or clicks the Buy now button
On the cart page or cart drawer, when the customer clicks to proceed to checkout
Additionally, merchants can track the performance of the cart popup recommendation strategy with critical metrics on the cart popup smart upsell widget dashboard.
