Double your profits by using SamCart's most powerful feature.
1-Click Upsells are the single most powerful feature for your bottom line. Thankfully, SamCart replaces all the complicated tech work with one simple tool.
SamCart allows you to add a simple Upsell to your products, or create more in-depth sales funnels that your customers will be taken through. Follow along with the steps below to double (or even triple) your average customer value, or skip ahead to the end to check out a quick way to simply add a single Upsell to your product.
Step 1: Create The Products You Need
First things first, you need products to upsell. Check out this guide to walk through this step by step: Creating a Product
Whether you are duplicating products and lowering the price, or quickly creating new products from scratch, creating upsells starts with having products to upsell. One important note is that products created with the pay-what-you-want pricing structure cannot be used as Upsells.
Step 2: Create Your Upsell Offers
Once you have created the products you need, it's time to visit your Offers tab and create your Upsells.
Create your Upsell, attach one of your products to it, and then customize the content on the page. Add videos, images, tracking scripts, and more.
To create your upsell offer, click the +New Upsell button. From here, a slide-out modal window will appear so you can fill out the details for your upsell. When you're ready, click the blue Create Upsell button in the bottom right corner of the slide-out modal. After clicking Create Upsell you will be taken to the settings page for that upsell.
A default upsell template is automatically generated from these details using the Product Name, Image (if present, Price and Description from your product’s settings to make the process even simpler for you! Here is what that auto-generated template could look like:
If you want to customize this page further, you are also welcome to click this button to Switch to Build Your Own:
From there, you will be able to use our content builder to build your own customized upsell page!
Step 3: Add a Single Upsell to Your Product
If you'd like to add a single Upsell to a product without necessarily having to create a full funnel, we've released a shortcut to make this process as simple as possible!
You'll still need to start by creating your Upsell as its own product as outlined in the previous steps. Then, to easily attach it to your product, simply go to the primary product's settings, click into the Offers tab, and select Add an Upsell. Simply select your choice from the dropdown list of existing upsells! Be sure to hit Save Changes before exiting.
Upsell Funnels
If you would like to take your customers through multiple Upsell (and Downsell) offers, then you might want to consider creating a Funnel. Creating a Funnel allows you to choose which Upsells you would like to show and the order in which you want to show them.
In the Offers menu, you will see a Funnels tab. In this tab, you can click the +New Funnel button, name/describe the funnel, and then click the Create Funnel button:
Once you have created the funnel, you can then select the products you want to be included throughout the funnel, whether they are shown to your customers as Upsells or Downsells. Make sure to click the Save Changes button in the top right corner of the screen once you have selected your Upsells and Downsells!
SamCart supports both upsells and downsells. To help you understand the path your customers take through an upsell funnel, here are some flowcharts of different upsell funnel examples you might create.
Once you have created a funnel, the next step is adding that upsell funnel to your product! If you choose to create an Upsell/Downsell funnel, you can follow a similar process as attaching a single upsell to attach the funnel to your product. To add an upsell funnel to your product click into the Offers tab, and select Add a Funnel. Simply select your choice from the dropdown list of existing upsell funnels! Be sure to hit Save Changes before exiting.
Retail Price and Discount Banner Text Settings
We have some new and exciting features that allow you to customize your upsell page even more! Now within the Upsell Details page on each upsell, you will see the following option settings:
The Retail Price setting allows you to display a "strikethrough"price on the upsell page above the actual upsell price, and the Discount Banner Text gives you the ability to have a discount banner on the upsell telling your customers what kind of discount they are getting! For example, in the screenshot below the Retail Price (1) is "100," and the Discount Banner Text (2) is "50% off!" - 
Note: These settings will only take effect if you are using our basic upsell template, if you switch to a "build your own" upsell these settings will not do anything. Additionally, the Retail Price feature can be used on its own, however the Discount Banner Text will only appear when the Retail Price is present.
Upsell Confirmation
If you would like your "One-Click Upsells" to become "Two-Click Upsells", then SamCart's Upsell Confirmation feature is for you.
Instead of having customers purchase your upsell offer with a single click, this optional feature allows you to display a custom message and require customers to confirm they wish to buy the upsell by clicking again.
See exactly how this feature works in the video below.
Adding Payment Options to Your Upsells (Optional)
Need some additional Payment Options added to your One-Click Upsell pages? We've got you covered.
To begin, you'll need to add your Payment Options to the upsell product.
We'll start by clicking into that Product's edit page and navigating to its Payments tab (1). Under Additional Payment Options, we'll select our Payment Option from the Product List (2) and click Add (3). 
Don't forget to click Save Changes in the upper right-hand corner of your screen once your additional Product is added!
Now we just need to enable Payment Options in the Upsell itself. To do so, open your Upsell and switch the Use Payment Options toggle to YES: 
If you'd like, you can adjust the Headline Text that introduced the multiple Payment Options on your Upsell page.
Save your changes, and you're all set! Your Upsell will now include each additional Payment Option that you attached to your Product: 
For more information on creating and managing multiple Payment Options in SamCart, refer to this article: Payment Options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My customer’s order says “Pending Upsell”. What does that mean?
A: This means that the customer has not completed the Upsell funnel after their initial purchase. The Upsell will be pending for about 2 hours; this gives the customer time to return to the Upsell funnel and complete the purchase. If they do not, then the order will officially close after the 2 hours.
Q: Can I offer an upsell as an upgrade from the primary product a customer just purchased?
A: Yes, you can! We have a feature that allows you to offer an upsell as an upgrade, and pro-rates the customer for the upgrade automatically. You can read more about this here: Upgrades. Note: The Retail Price and Discount Banner Text settings will become unavailable if the upsell is turned into an upgrade.
