How to Set Up WooCommerce One Click Upsells (Post Purchase Upsells)

WooCommerce upsells, cross-sells, order bumps, BOGO and other offers are more effective in driving conversions compared to simple discount offers.

However, WooCommerce one click upsells or post-purchase offers stand out as the most impactful strategies for increasing average order value.

Why? Because users have already made a purchase from you and trust you more. They are more likely to accept another offer for related products (example – a bag with a laptop). This approach also provides a quick and friction-free checkout experience.

So how you easily enable one click upsells on your WooCommerce store to boost sales? Let’s find out.

What is one-click upsell? How it works?

In simple terms, a one-click upsell is a marketing strategy that lets customers buy additional items or upgrade their purchase with a single click, without needing to re-enter their checkout and payment information.

Here’s how WooCommerce one click upsell works:

• When a customer makes a successful transaction on your WooCommerce store, they are redirect to the order received page or thank you page, and are shown relevant upsell offers.
• Since the customer’s payment details are already saved, there’s no need to enter them again.
• When the customer accepts that upsell offer, the transaction is completed instantly in a single click. Hence the name WooCommerce one click upsell or 1-click upsell or post purchase upsells.

How to setup WooCommerce one click upsell offer funnels?

The default WooCommerce does not allow creating single click upsell offers. You need a proven-for-success and powerful plugin to target relevant post purchase offers in the sales funnel that customers can’t refuse.

That plugin is Smart Offers, also known as the money-minting machine.

Not just one click upsells, Smart Offers also provides you with upsells, cross-sells, order bumps, one-time-offers, dynamic discounts, and Buy Now links for direct checkout. It’s a powerful sales booster for your WooCommerce store.

Look, users may decline your pre-purchase upsell offers. But with Smart Offers, you have the flexibility to show multiple offers on multiple pages based on targeting rules. This nudges customers at every point in the sales funnel, helping you achieve better conversions in the process.

Create your WooCommerce one click upsell offer

• Go to WooCommerce > Smart Offers > Add New > Offer on your WordPress Admin panel.
• Set the offer title for your reference. For example – One Click Upsell Offer.
• Create your offer description. What you add in here will be visible to customers. This is WordPress’s default editor, so you can use almost all features of WordPress editor like adding media, font size & color, layout etc.




• You can use our existing offer designs or create your own offers using Elementor, Visual Composer and other popular WordPress page builders as shown.
• Under What to offer, choose the product you want to offer along with the discount if any. Here we would like to offer Woo Single #1 at 30% discount. Smart Offers plugin is also compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin. So you can easily upsell any subscription product in one-click.



• Under Offer rules, select conditions to show the offer. You can set multiple rules here based on product in cart/order, visitor, registered user, customer’s lifetime value, cart/order total and many more. We choose to show the offer when the product Woo Single #2 quantity is one.



• Under Show offer on page, choose WooCommerce Order Complete page in this case because the post purchase upsells will be shown immediately on this page when the order is completed.



• Under Show offer as, choose Inline or as an Upsell popup.



• Under Accept actions, choose what all actions you want to perform when offer will be accepted. You can choose multiple actions from given set of options. Here, select Add offered product to cart and Enable one click checkout with Buy Now.



• Under Skip actions, define actions you want to perform if the offer is declined. Here you can choose only one action from the given set of actions.

That’ it. Here’s your one-click upsell offer in action when the product Woo Single #2 is added to the cart.

You can set up unlimited number of one click upsell offers in the sales funnel in a similar way.

Can you set one-click cross-sells or one-click BOGO offers?

Yes. Pitch another related or complementary product (cross-sells) or the same product (buy one get one) as one click upsell offers in your sales funnel.

The ultimate aim is to earn additional revenue. In fact, offering complementary or related products as an upsell offer has a minimum of 10% increase in conversion rate. Sometimes, even 25% or 30%.

Why post purchase upsells are better than pre-purchase upsells?

• Instant checkout – The customer won’t need to enter card details and repeat the purchase process from scratch. All happens in a single click.
• More conversions – One-click upsell offers are targeted to existing customers, and not to a user who’s still not sure what to buy.
• Reduces email marketing effort – You send out emails showing related products with an offer to customers. With one-click upsells, you are eliminating that email step. Also, customers may not open your email but will surely not miss your one-click upsell offer.
• Eliminates product search effort – A customer who purchases a laptop will surely need a bag and offering it as a one-click upsell will surely work. It takes off the browsing burden from the buyer.
• Full control over upsell offers – You can redirect customers to the second upsell offer if they accept the first one. If they decline, you can show a downsell offer with more discount which increases the chances of selling.
• Boost average order value and sales – Obviously, more than a single purchase shoots up the average order value. And multiple instances of one-click purchases will amplify your sales.

Go beyond single one-click upsell offers

You can pitch a series of offers so as to keep customers in the loop and get them acquainted with your product portfolio.

Run offers one after the other based on user’s action

Let say you offer product B on upsell along with product A. But the user rejects it.

Then you can pitch another upsell offer (product C) or a downsell offer (product D) when the user rejects the previous offer.

This increases chances of selling more but don’t go overboard. Showing too many offers to your customers in the one click upsell funnel will annoy them.

Instead, pitch offers based on what users have already purchased; i.e based on cart total or product categories. That is what Smart Offers is capable of doing. Full flexible and smart as the name goes!

Pitch offers on thank you page of upsold product

If a user accepts upsell offer B after accepting offer for product A, the user gets redirected to thank you page of product B and the process ends there.

Now, what if you want to pitch another upsell or cross-sell offer on thank you page of product B? Or run a series of offers based on product categories? You can easily do that with Smart Offers.

Redirect users to an affiliate or another product page

You want to redirect users to an affiliate page or another product page to upsell a product. Using Custom Thank You Page for WooCommerce, you may redirect user to any page you wish to:

• Affiliate page
• Sales video of another product
• Social media links
• Email subscription page

or other page you want to and pitch offers.

You can also get rid of plain standard WooCommerce thank you page, and show a fancy custom thank you page for each product purchased when you pitch your one-click upsell offer.

Track your upsell offers revenue

You can easily monitor your upsell offer performance from the Smart Offer’ dashboard and modify offers for optimum conversions.
