Upselling
Definition
Upselling is a sales technique used on the Business platform where you encourage customers to purchase higher-tier packages or additional features.
Where you’ll find it
This feature is typically accessible through the sales or checkout pages on the Business platform. It may be part of the order process where suggestions for upgrades or additional products are automatically presented to customers.
Common use cases
- When a customer is at the checkout, suggesting upgrades that enhance the product they are purchasing.
- Offering bundles or premium options that add value to the customer’s choice at a strategic moment, such as during special promotions.
- Automatically displaying related add-ons that users might not have considered that complement their original selection.
Things to watch out for
- Ensure that the upsell is relevant to the customer's original purchase to avoid it feeling intrusive or irrelevant.
- Be cautious not to be overly aggressive in upselling; it should feel like a suggestion rather than a push.
- Keep track of customer feedback regarding upsells to refine the approach and offerings based on preferences and response rates.

Pixelhaze Tip: Highlight the benefits and explain how the higher-tier package or add-on improves upon the basic offering. This helps the customer see the value in spending a bit more.
