Advanced Upsell List

Upsells are products that can be attached as optional or preselected add-ons to products to build packages and bundled offerings, such as optional meals or merchandise.

Upsell Product

You can link an existing product or create specific upsell products to link to other regular products.

Alert

What is the difference between selling a regular product and an upsell product?

  • A product marked as upsell only shows as an upsell to its parent product and is not displayed independently on the main booking pages.
  • A product marked as a regular product can still be added as an upsell, but these products are also displayed on the main booking pages.


Follow these high-level instructions to create a new product to be used exclusively as an upsell for another product.

  1. From the Products list (Inventory > Products), click the +New Product button.
  2. Under the Details tab, choose the Upsell option under What are you selling?.
  3. Finish configuring your product. Make sure to Activate the product. 

Only products that have been activated appear in the Upsell drop-down list (Product Builder > Advanced tab).

 

Note

Note that we do not support nested upsells at this time. We support adding an upsell (B) to a product (A), but that upsell cannot have an upsell (C).

For example, we support a kayak rental (A) with an optional upsell of a picnic basket (B), but the picnic basket cannot have an upsell for beverages (C).

 

With the next article in this series, we look at linking your upsells to your product via the product builder.
