Upsells and recommendations in the side cart

Updated November 2, 2026

OCart has two ways to suggest more products in the cart:

• Upsell. One featured product with an Add button, optionally at a special price. Add up to 5 upsell widgets.
• Recommendations. Several products in a list, grid or slider. Add up to 3.

Create an upsell

1. Open OCart → Side cart → Add widget → Upsell.
2. Under Product → Which product, choose:
   • Specific product. You pick it.
   • Suggested by Shopify. Related to what’s in the cart.
   • Cheapest from a list or collection.
   • Most expensive from a list or collection.
3. Optional: tick Hide if it’s already in the cart and Hide if it’s sold out.
4. Optional: under Discount, turn on Offer this product at a discount, then set the Discount name, type (% off or Amount off) and value. The discount applies only when the shopper adds the product from this upsell.
5. Edit the Title, Subtitle and Button text, then Save.

The preview shows the sale price, the original price crossed out and a Save 15% badge.

Add recommendations

1. Click Add widget → Recommendations.
2. Under Which products, choose Suggested by Shopify, Collection or Specific products.
3. Set the Number of products, the title and the button text.
4. In Design, choose a List, Grid or slider layout.

Products already in the cart are skipped automatically, and you can hide sold-out products.

Tips

• Offer something that goes with the cart, at a lower price than the main item, such as accessories, care products or refills.
• A small discount (10–15%) on the upsell often converts better than a bigger one on an unrelated product.
• Check results per widget in Analytics.
