Product update: Clearance offers

Sell out slow stock with stepped clearance discounts, a Home page that tells you what to do next, and more precise offer targeting.

TL;DR: UpsellPlus can now turn low-inventory variants into upsells with automatic, stepped clearance discounts that stop at your cap and margin floor. This update also brings a Home page that tells you what to do next, mission levels and a monthly report, post-purchase targeting by shipping country, and include and exclude rules on the same filter.

What's new in this update

Clearance offers: sell out slow-moving stock with discounts that only rise when variants aren't selling.
Clearance analytics: see units left, discount step, views and sales for every variant on clearance.
A new Home page: see in seconds whether your upsells are working and what to do next.
Missions and milestones: level up as upsells grow as a share of store revenue.
Shipping-country targeting: show post-purchase offers only where you ship.
Include and exclude on one filter: no more workaround collections.

Clearance offers: sell out slow-moving inventory

Every store has stock it wants to move without running a site-wide sale. Create an offer, choose Automatic → Clearance, and UpsellPlus fills it with your low-inventory variants. It starts with a small discount and raises it step by step only when shoppers aren't buying, stopping at the maximum discount and margin floor you set. A live preview shows how many variants qualify before you publish.

‍

Clearance offer setup with discount steps of 10%, 15% and 20%, a 25% cap and a 30% margin floor, and variants stepping up only when they don't sell — Discounts only step up when a variant isn't selling, and never go past your cap or margin floor.

‍

How to set it up

Go to Offers → New offer.
Choose Automatic → Clearance.
Set your discount steps, maximum discount and margin floor, then check the live preview.

Want a head start? The new "Sell out inventory" strategy sets you up with defaults of 14 days of stock left, discounts of 10% → 15% → 20%, and a 25% cap.

See exactly what's clearing

Each clearance offer's analytics page now shows what's on clearance right now: units left, the current discount step, views and sales at that step, and a history of what sold out. Pin a product, lock its discount, reset it or take it out, all from the same screen.

Where to find it: the analytics page of any clearance offer.

A Home page that tells you what to do next

Home now answers three questions in seconds: Is it working? What has it earned? What should I do next? What you see depends on where your store is. New stores see their setup journey across product pages, cart, checkout and post-purchase. Growing stores see their upsell share of store revenue over the last 30 days, compared with the 30 days before. Established stores see a one-word verdict for each offer: Scale, Keep, Fix or Test.

Missions and milestones

You now earn mission levels as upsells grow as a share of your store revenue: Liftoff at 1%, Orbit at 2%, Moonshot at 3% and Deep Space at 5%. Each month you also get a short report on how the last month went, and a list of at most three ranked actions shows the next best step.

‍

Post-purchase offers by shipping country

Show a post-purchase offer only to customers shipping to the countries you pick. For example, offer a US-only membership, or hide an offer in countries where you can't ship the product.

‍

A shipping-country rule that shows a post-purchase offer only on US orders — Limit a post-purchase offer to the countries you ship to.

‍

Include and exclude on the same filter

Automatic offers can now include and exclude by the same filter type. For example, include products tagged "18mm" and also exclude anything tagged "Watches". You no longer need workaround collections.

‍

An automatic offer that includes products tagged 18mm and excludes products tagged Watches — Include and exclude by tag in the same automatic offer.
