How it works
Upsell checkouts are typically used as part of a post-purchase flow, encouraging customers to buy additional items or add-ons after their initial transaction.
They work by taking customer, consent, and payment method details from a previous transaction to show a streamlined checkout experience to customers.
A single button is shown so customers can purchase any additional items in one-click.
You must use one-page, inline checkouts to present upsell checkouts.
Customer journey
Customer completes initial purchase
When making their initial purchase, customers enter their personal, billing, and business details.
They may also check a box to consent to saving their payment method for future purchases when completing payment.
Customer opens an upsell checkout
After the initial transaction is complete, you open a new inline, one-page checkout for the upsell.
Customers are presented with a one-click payment flow if the customer is authenticated, has saved payment methods, and the upsell occurs within the same session.
Their last used payment method is automatically selected.
Customer skips the upsell
Customers can optionally click the "No thanks" button to skip the upsell and continue their journey.
You decide what happens next. For example, you can show a popup window to confirm the customer wants to skip the upsell, or open a new checkout with an improved upsell offer.
Checkout completed
Customers can click to purchase instead. Paddle routes every payment to the best acquirer for that sale to get the best possible chance of success. Customers enter a success workflow that you can build, and you could choose to open another upsell checkout as part of your flow.
