π How to setup Product Upsell
Want to increase your Average Order Value (AOV) by recommending the right products at the right moment? ποΈ
Thatβs exactly what the Product Upsell (Slider) offer type in Hoppy Bundles is designed for.
With this offer, you can display a beautiful product slider on your product pages that recommends additional products to your customers, such as:
- π§ AI-powered recommendations (Related or Complementary products)
- π― Specific hand-picked products you want to promote
Customers can add recommended products to their cart directly from the slider β without ever leaving the product page β¨
In this guide, weβll walk you through the complete setup, step by step, so your upsell slider is live in just a few minutes βοΈ
π Before You Begin
Before creating your first Product Upsell, make sure you have the following ready:
- β Hoppy Bundles installed on your Shopify store
- β A rough idea of which products you want to recommend (or whether you want AI to decide for you)
- β (Only for AI Upsell) The free Shopify Search & Discovery app installed β this is where Shopify stores your Related and Complementary product recommendations
βΉοΈ The Product Upsell slider does not create any discounts. Recommended products are added to the cart at their regular price β itβs purely a product recommendation tool π‘
β Initial Step β Enable the App Embed
For the upsell slider to appear on your storefront, the Hoppy Bundles app embed must be enabled inside your Shopify theme.
Go to:
Shopify Admin β Online Store β Themes β Edit Theme β App Embeds
From there:
- Open the App Embeds section from the left sidebar
- Find the Hoppy Bundles app embed
- Toggle it ON β
- Click Save
β οΈ Donβt worry if you skip this step β after publishing your offer, Hoppy Bundles will show you a reminder banner with a direct Enable App Embed button that takes you straight to the right place in the theme editor.
βοΈ Step 1 β Create a New Product Upsell Offer
From the Hoppy Bundles app dashboard:
- Click Create new offer
- On the Select Offer Type screen, find the Product Upsell (Slider) card π·οΈ
- Click Create Upsell Slider
Youβll land on the Create Upsell Slider setup page.
The setup page is divided into two areas:
- Left side β Your settings, organized into 3 tabs: General, Design, and Targeting & Placement
- Right side β A live preview of your slider on both π₯οΈ Desktop and π± Mobile, which updates instantly as you change settings
π‘ Every change you make is reflected in the preview in real time β feel free to experiment!
π·οΈ Step 2 β Name Your Offer & Set the Slider Title
On the General tab, start with the basics:
Offer Name
This name is only visible to you inside the app β customers never see it. Use something recognizable for your own reference, like:
- Summer Collection Upsell
- Accessories Slider
Slider Title
This is the heading customers will see above the slider on your storefront.
The default title is βYou might also likeβ, but you can change it to anything you like, such as:
- Complete the look
- Pairs well with
- Customers also bought
β οΈ The Slider Title is required β if you leave it empty, youβll see a βSlider title is requiredβ error and wonβt be able to save.
π’ Step 3 β Configure Slider Settings
Still on the General tab, the Settings section controls how many products are visible at once inside the slider:
- Products per slide (Desktop) β How many products show per slide on desktop screens (default: 3)
- Products per slide (Mobile) β How many products show per slide on mobile devices (default: 2)
βΉοΈ If you select more products than fit on one slide, customers can swipe or navigate through the slider to see the rest β so donβt be afraid to add plenty of recommendations.
ποΈ Step 4 β Select Your Upsell Products
This is the heart of your offer β€οΈ β choosing which products get recommended inside the slider.
You have two options:
Option 1 β Upsell Specific Products (default)
Hand-pick the exact products you want to recommend:
- Select Upsell Specific Products
- Click Select Products
- Shopifyβs product picker will open β search and select one or more products
- Confirm your selection β
Your chosen products will appear as a list below the button, and instantly in the live preview.
π‘ This option is perfect when you want full control β for example, always recommending matching accessories on a specific product page.
Option 2 β AI Upsell (Frequently Bought Together)
Let Shopifyβs AI decide which products to recommend for each product page automatically.
When you select this option, two recommendation types become available:
- Upsell Related Products β Products similar to the one being viewed
- Upsell Complementary Products β Products that go well together with the one being viewed
β οΈ Important: AI Upsell uses the recommendations you configure in the free Shopify Search & Discovery app. Youβll see a reminder banner with an Open Search and Discovery button β use it to set up your Related or Complementary products per product, otherwise the slider may have nothing to show.
Max No. of Products
When AI Upsell is selected, an additional field appears:
Max No. of Products β The maximum number of recommended products shown in the slider (up to 10).
β οΈ Heads up! Switching between Upsell Specific Products and AI Upsell clears your current product selection. Pick your approach first, then select products.
π Step 5 β Translations (Optional)
Selling in multiple languages? The Translation section on the General tab lets you translate the slider texts for each of your storeβs languages.
This step is completely optional during setup β you can always come back to it later. For a full walkthrough, check out our dedicated Translation guide π
π¨ Step 6 β Customize the Design (Optional)
Switch to the Design tab to make the slider match your brand perfectly π¨
Hereβs a quick overview of what you can customize:
- Font β Use your theme font (default) or pick from a large list of fonts
- Typography & colours β Text size, weight, and colour for the slider title, product titles, prices, and the Add to Cart button
- Border β Border width and corner roundness (radius) of the product cards
- Background & border colours β For both the product cards and the button
All changes update instantly in the live preview on the right π₯οΈπ±
βΉοΈ The default design already looks clean out of the box, so you can safely skip this during your first setup and refine it later. For a deep dive into every styling option, check out our dedicated Design & Styling guide π
π Step 7 β Choose the Placement
Switch to the Targeting & Placement tab and decide where the slider appears.
You have two placement options:
Below Add to Cart Button (Default)
The slider is automatically placed right below the Add to Cart button on your product pages. No extra work needed β this is the recommended option for most stores β
Custom (only on product page)
Choose this if you want to position the slider manually, anywhere you like on the product page.
When selected, the app shows you two things:
- Hoppy Bundles ID β Use this ID with the Hoppy Bundles app block in your theme editor to add, remove, or reposition the slider
- Hoppy Bundles code snippet β A small
<div>snippet you can paste anywhere in your theme code
β οΈ The ID and code snippet only appear after you save or publish the offer β so save first, then copy them.
π― Step 8 β Set Targeting & Scheduling (Optional)
Still on the Targeting & Placement tab, youβll find optional controls for who sees the slider and when π
π€ Customer Targeting
Control which customers see the slider:
- Visibility (Customer Login Status) β Show to all customers, or only to logged-in customers
- Show bar to β All customers, customers with a specific customer tag (e.g.
premium, wholesale), or customers above a certain lifetime spent amount - Hide bar from β Optionally exclude customers by tag or lifetime spent
π Geolocation Targeting
- All world (default) β Show the slider to visitors from every country
- Specific countries β Click Select Countries to open the country picker, search, and select exactly where the slider should appear
ποΈ Scheduling
Perfect for limited-time campaigns:
- Start β Right now (default) or a Specific date and time
- End β Never (default) or a Specific date and time
βΉοΈ All of these targeting options are optional. For most stores, the defaults (show to everyone, everywhere, always) work great to start with. For advanced setups, check out our dedicated Targeting guide π
π Step 9 β Save & Publish
Youβre almost done! π
Save your offer
Whenever you make changes, a Save bar appears at the top of the page:
- Click Save to store your offer as a Draft π
- Click Discard to revert your changes
β οΈ On a brand-new offer, the Publish button stays disabled until youβve saved at least once β so hit Save first.
Publish your offer
Once saved, click Publish in the top-right corner to make the slider live on your store π
After publishing, Hoppy Bundles shows a confirmation banner:
- If the app embed isnβt enabled yet, youβll see a βMake sure App Embed is activeβ banner with an Enable App Embed button β click it and toggle the embed on (see the Initial Step above)
- If everything is active, click Open Store to see your slider live on a product page β¨
You can Unpublish at any time to take the slider offline without losing your settings.
β οΈ Important Notes & Tips
- π° No discounts are applied β the Product Upsell slider recommends products at their regular price. If you want discounted bundles, check out our Bundle or Quantity Break offer types instead
- π§ AI Upsell needs Search & Discovery β without Related/Complementary products configured in the Shopify Search & Discovery app, the AI slider may appear empty
- π Switching upsell type resets your selection β changing between Specific Products and AI Upsell clears the products youβve picked
- ποΈ Deleting is permanent β the Delete action (top of the edit page) removes the offer and its analytics stats forever. This cannot be undone
- π Duplicate offers easily β use the Duplicate action on any existing offer to create a copy and tweak it, instead of starting from scratch
π Final Result
Thatβs it β your Product Upsell slider is live! π₯³
Your customers will now see a beautiful product recommendation slider on your product pages, right where you placed it. They can browse recommendations and add products to their cart with a single click β boosting your AOV on autopilot π
From the Hoppy Bundles dashboard, you can:
- βοΈ Edit the offer anytime to change products, design, or targeting
- π Track performance to see how your upsells are converting
- βΈοΈ Unpublish whenever you want to pause the offer
Happy upselling! π
