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 35

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 36

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 37

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 38

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 39

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.
