Question 1

How can I set up conditional upsells and downsells based on the product purchased?

Accepted Answer

To set up conditional upsells and downsells based on the product purchased in a sales funnel, you simply need to define the main product for which you want to offer additional deals. When the customer purchases that product, you can trigger an upsell offer. If the customer declines the upsell, a downsell offer can then be presented. This allows you to tailor your offers based on the product the customer has already shown interest in.

Question 2

How can I enable upsells and downsells for specific payment methods?

Accepted Answer

In FunnelKit, you can easily offer upsells and downsells for all payment methods. However, you need to enable them first. To do this, go to FunnelKit ⇒ Settings, and under the One Click Upsells tab, select all the payment gateways for which you want to offer upsells and downsells. Don't forget to save. Now, anyone who checks out with any of the enabled payment methods will be offered an upsell, and they can accept the upsell or downsell using the same payment method.

Question 3

How to track the performance of upsell and downsell offers?

Accepted Answer

On the Analytics tab inside FunnelKit, you can find the total revenue earned from upsell and downsell offers. On the same page, if you scroll down, you'll find data for each upsell and downsell offer, including views, conversions, conversion rate, and revenue. Here, you can see that our upsell offer is named "Offer," and the downsell is "Hair Supplement."

Question 4

Will offering a downsell annoy my customers?

Accepted Answer

No, offering downsells will not annoy your customers if you do it respectfully. The "Starbucks Cookie" approach is helpful, not intrusive. If you bombard them with 5 different offers, yes, they will be annoyed. We recommend a maximum of 1 Upsell and 1 Downsell for most stores.

Question 5

Can I offer the same product as a downsell but cheaper?

Accepted Answer

Be careful here. If you just slash the price of the exact same item immediately, you devalue your product and annoy customers who might have bought it at full price. Instead, remove bonuses or offer a "lite" version to justify the lower price.

Question 6

Does this work for digital products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Digital products (courses, ebooks) are actually better for downsells because you have high margins. You can easily offer a "digital only" version of a physical book or a "payment plan" for a course without worrying about shipping costs.

Question 7

Will too many WooCommerce cart plugins slow down my site?

Accepted Answer

No, if you install lightweight plugins that don’t conflict with each other, it will not slow down your site or create any other issues.

Question 8

What’s the best free cart plugin for WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

FunnelKit Cart is the best free cart plugin for WooCommerce, adding a sliding cart that allows customers to view cart details, add/edit/delete items, use express payments, and proceed directly to the checkout page.

Question 9

How do WooCommerce mini carts improve the shopping experience?

Accepted Answer

Mini carts (like slide-in carts) let shoppers view, update, or remove items without leaving the page. This speeds up checkout and reduces friction. WooCommerce doesn’t offer this by default.

Question 10

Does WooCommerce have a shopping cart?

Accepted Answer

Yes, WooCommerce includes a standard cart page. However, it lacks modern features such as slide carts or real-time item updates during checkout.

Question 11

What is a WooCommerce currency switcher plugin?

Accepted Answer

A WooCommerce currency switcher plugin allows store owners to offer multiple currencies for customers. It enables visitors to view product prices and make payments in their preferred currency. This feature improves user experience, especially for international shoppers.

Question 12

Do these plugins automatically detect the visitor’s currency?

Accepted Answer

Many plugins, such as FOX – Currency Switcher Professional and Currency Switcher for WooCommerce by WPExperts, offer automatic geo-location detection to display the correct currency based on the visitor’s location, while others also allow manual switching. You can check the list I shared.

Question 13

Can customers complete checkout in their selected currency?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most WooCommerce currency switcher plugins allow customers to select their preferred currency at checkout. This ensures that they pay in the currency they choose, improving the overall shopping experience.

Question 14

Are exchange rates updated automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many WooCommerce currency switcher plugins offer real-time exchange rate updates using trusted data sources. This ensures that product prices are always accurate and reflect the latest exchange rates.

Question 15

Will a currency switcher work with all payment gateways?

Accepted Answer

Most popular payment gateways, including PayPal, Stripe, and WooCommerce Payments, are compatible with WooCommerce currency switcher plugins. However, it's always recommended to check the compatibility with your specific gateway before installing the plugin.

Question 16

Can I customize the currency switcher’s look?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plugins often offer multiple display options, such as dropdowns, flags, floating sidebars, or shortcodes to match your store design.

Question 17

How do I create a custom, dynamic coupon in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

You can create a custom, dynamic coupon in WooCommerce using FunnelKit Automations. All you have to do is add the 'Create Coupon' action. Then, specify the details of your coupon and personalize it with merge tags.

Question 18

How do I make multiple coupons in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

Question 19

How do I create condition-based coupon codes for the order total?

Accepted Answer

You can create condition-based coupon codes for the order total in FunnelKit Automations. Specify the order total condition and add the coupon creation action under the Yes statement. This way, if that condition is fulfilled, the sequence will create a new coupon automatically.

Question 20

What is the difference between static and dynamic discount coupons?

Accepted Answer

Static coupons have a pre-determined discount code, such as “SAVE10”, that doesn’t change according to a specific user. These coupons are typically created for a wide audience without any customization. Some of their use cases include static discounts for seasonal sales, general promotions, and clearance events.Dynamic coupons generate unique codes for each user, enabling personalized discounts and targeted marketing. These coupons are typically created for personalized marketing campaigns, loyalty programs, retargeting, abandoned cart recovery, and more. 👉 Learn everything about WooCommerce discounts here.

Question 21

How do I use WooCommerce Smart Coupons?

Accepted Answer

The WooCommerce smart coupons plugin is another alternative discount plugin you can use to offer lucrative deals to your users. However, it’s quite expensive compared to the functionality that FunnelKit Automations offers.

Question 22

Can you schedule a coupon in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

No, the default coupon feature in WooCommerce does not allow you to schedule a coupon. You can use FunnelKit Automations or Advanced Coupons to schedule your discount coupons in WooCommerce.

Question 23

How do I create bulk Coupons in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

You can generate bulk coupons in WooCommerce and send unique codes to different customers using FunnelKit Automations. Just add an automation and create a personalized coupon action. Every customer or prospect entering this automation will receive a distinct, personalized WooCommerce dynamic coupon.  That’s where FunnelKit Automations is helpful in automatically creating bulk coupons in WooCommerce.

Question 24

How do I add an automatic discount in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

You can add automatic discounts through the shopping journey in your WooCommerce store. For example, you can auto-apply coupon codes at checkout and apply discounts to checkout add-ons such as order bumps and one-click upsells. You can do this with the FunnelKit Funnel Builder plugin. In addition, you can add discount coupons to your emails using FunnelKit Automations (which we discussed in this post).

Question 25

Does creating thousands of coupons slow down my site?

Accepted Answer

This is a common concern, but in most cases, the answer is no. WooCommerce is built to handle large databases efficiently. The key is proper maintenance. Tools like FunnelKit automatically delete expired coupons, preventing database clutter and helping your site stay fast and responsive.
