Upsell & Cross-sell FAQ

Important info

Our Upsell and Cross-Sell functionality is now limited: you can no longer create new recommendation blocks.

However, all the features are fully available in our app Searchanise Upsell & Marketing for Shopify.

What are product recommendation widgets?

Product recommendation widgets are blocks of products nudging your customers to buy more and pay attention to specific items in your store. You must have seen such widgets on eBay or Amazon. For example, they are Similar productsCustomers also boughtYou might also like, etc. They help you upsell and cross-sell products.

How can I add recommendation widgets to my store pages?

You can choose a Manual or an Auto option. 

If you choose the Auto one, a recommendation widget will automatically be added to the bottom content of the selected page (or pages). 

If you choose the Manual one, you can insert the widget code into any part of the appropriate page in your store theme files.

Where can I place a recommendation widget?

You can locate a recommendation widget on any page of your store. If you select automatic installation, you can add the widget at the bottom of the home, collections, products, search results, or cart pages. If you insert the widget manually in your theme files, you can choose other locations and select a specific place on a page.
