Increase average order value on Shopify without an upsell app

Cart upsells, a free-shipping bar and post-purchase offers, in the themes and in the app.

The problem

Average order value is the cheapest growth lever a store has, and it is often rented: an upsell app, a shipping-bar app and a bundle app, each billed every month.

The solution

Three mechanics are built in: an upsell slider in the cart and cart drawer (PopsSaves €16/month), a free-shipping progress bar in the cart (Cama and Pops), and an offer shown after payment (Snap Bundle).

How it works

  1. Turn on the cart drawer upsell

    In Pops, add the upsell slider block to the cart drawer. It shows Shopify’s recommendations for the products already in the cart.

  2. Set the free-shipping threshold

    Enter the amount in Theme settings → Cart. A progress bar in the cart shows how much is still missing.

  3. Add the post-purchase offer

    With Snap Bundle, an offer is shown after payment, before the thank-you page.

Questions merchants ask

  • Is this the theme or the app?

    Both. The cart mechanics ship with the themes; the post-purchase offer needs the app, because Shopify only exposes that surface to apps.
