Turn one-time buyers into subscribers after checkout

Offer the subscription version right after checkout. One click, no new checkout, and UpsellPlus refunds the one-time item automatically.

TL;DR: Right after checkout, UpsellPlus offers your shopper the subscribe-and-save version of what they just bought. One click, no new checkout. The subscription is created in your subscription app and UpsellPlus refunds the one-time item automatically, so the shopper only pays the subscription price.

How it works

  1. A shopper checks out with a one-time purchase.
  2. They see the offer on the post-purchase page: the same product as a subscription, at your subscribe-and-save price.
  3. They accept with one click. The subscription is created in your subscription app and UpsellPlus refunds the one-time item. Their statement shows the new charge and the refund, so the net is the subscription price.

Why offer it after checkout

  • No friction before the sale. The shopper has already bought, so the offer can't cost you the order.
  • One click. Payment details are already entered.
  • Nothing new to sell. It's the product they just chose, now cheaper on subscription.

Frequently asked questions

They see a charge for the subscription and a refund for the one-time item. The net is the subscription price.

Do I need to change my subscription setup?

No. UpsellPlus uses the subscription plans you already have.

Do I need Shopify Plus?

No. Post-purchase offers aren't limited to Shopify Plus stores.
