Product Upsells & Bundles: Setting Up Add-on Product Activities

You can set up add-on product activities to complement multiple product sales, enhancing customer experience and boosting your store's sales. These add-on products can be showcased on either the product details page or the cart page, giving customers the option to include them with their main purchase.

Tips for Creating Add-on Product Activities

Before creating add-on products, please consider the following:

• Quantity of Add-On Products: You can select up to 10 add-on items for each main product on the product detail pages. In the shopping cart, a maximum of 10 add-on items can be selected.
• Main Add-On Product: In add-on activities, you can designate both a manually selected add-on item and an AI-recommended add-on item for the same main product.
• Add-on Product Pricing: When you choose an add-on product, its price is set as the selling price by default. You can manually adjust the price, but it should not exceed the selling price of the product. If the product has multiple variants, the price of the add-on product should not exceed the lowest selling price.
• Limit on the Purchase Quantity of Add-on Products: You can set a limit on the number of add-on products that can be purchased with each main product (variant). If no limit is set, customers can add any quantity of add-on products when purchasing the main product.
• Add-on Product Activities: Add-on products featured in an activity are only available for purchase within that activity. Customers can purchase these add-on products at the specified add-on price set by you. However, add-on products cannot be combined with any other promotional offers and can only be purchased at the set add-on price.
• Pricing for Setting Up Shopping Cart Add-on Products: The Shopping cart add-on products feature is available for a fee of USD 9.99 per month. After payment, you can set up and activate corresponding add-on product activities during the valid period. Once expired, the corresponding promotions will become invalid.
• Impact of Add-On Product Changes: If the add-on products you have set are deleted, deactivated, or out of stock, the corresponding add-on product variants won’t be displayed in your store, and customers won’t see these add-on products.

Creating Add-on Product Activities for Product Pages

1. From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Apps > Product Upsells & Bundles.

2. In the app, click Add-on products > Create an add-on product. Then, click the Create button.

3. Set up your add-on product activity:

   

• • In the Activity title section, enter the name of the add-on product activity.

    Note: The activity name will be visible on your store's product details, cart, and checkout pages. Please fill it in carefully.

  • Choose the main product for this add-on product activity in the Main product section. Each add-on product activity can only have one main product.

    Note: The main product for an activity can be changed, but each product can only be included in one active add-on product activity at a time.

  • In the Add-on products section, configure the following settings:
    • Select add-on products: Choose between using AI recommendations or manually selecting recommended products. You can select up to 10 products. 
    • Set the price for add-on products: Specify the prices for the selected add-on products. Customers can choose to add them on the product page based on the prices you set. 

      Notes: When manually adjusting prices, ensure they are greater than 0 and lower than the selling prices of the products. If you have multiple variants for your add-on product, click the pencil icon to access the Multi-attribute settings page and set prices for each variant.

• • In the Add-on items settings section, select the Display mode for the activity and provide the display title. 
  • (Optional) In the Restrictions section, set a maximum quantity for purchasing add-on products. If no maximum quantity is set, customers can add any quantity when purchasing the main product.
  • In the Bundle display section, click Edit to set the position of add-on products on the product details page. Choose between Display above the ADD TO CART, Display below the ADD TO CART, and Horizontal sliding display.
    

    Note: If you’re using a SHOPLINE OS 3.0 theme, you must manually add the app block in the theme editor to ensure proper display and customize its placement. For details on app block functions, setup steps, and which app features require app block support, refer to the Help Center article "Integrating Apps into OS 3.0 Themes."

    

4. After creating an activity, it will be enabled by default and displayed on the main product's details page.

5. You can also disable any add-on product activity as needed. Simply toggle off the Enabled switch on the specific activity settings page. Once disabled, the activity will no longer appear in your store, and its status will change to Disabled.
