Upsell

In-checkout upsell

An offer inside checkout itself, before payment, so an accepted item joins the same order instead of starting a new one. Shopify Plus only.

Last updated · Aug 13, 2026

This is the only surface where an accepted offer joins the same order. It runs inside checkout, before payment, so the shopper adds an item without a second transaction, a second shipping charge, or a second decision to buy.

Included on Growth.

Before it can show

The QSortby checkout extension has to be added to your checkout in the Shopify checkout editor — switching the widget on in QSortby arms it, but the block still has to be placed where you want it to appear.

Settings

  • Rank by / window, or Manual with a hand-picked list.
  • How many to rank — up to 4.
  • How many to show — 1 to 3, defaulting to 1.
  • Heading — defaults to “Add to your order”.

Why the default is one offer

Checkout is the most abandonment-sensitive step in the whole funnel. An extra offer here doesn’t cost you a page view, it costs you the order you had almost closed. So showing more than one is a choice you make deliberately, not something you inherit from a default.

The same reasoning caps the rank list at four rather than ten: the extras exist as backups if a lead pick turns out to be unavailable in that shopper’s checkout, not as a wall of suggestions.

What it never suggests

Anything already in the checkout. Offering a shopper something they’re in the middle of buying is the one thing this surface must not do.

One checkout upsell serves at a time; if you create several, the first switched-on one is used.
