📈 Why Use Pop-Ups?
Capture Attention: Deliver concise, impactful messages that grab user attention.
Highlight Key Offers: Direct users to promotions or products that add value to their shopping experience.

Drive Conversions: Strategically placed pop-ups can lead to higher conversion rates.
🔄 Upsell Pop-Ups: Boost AOV with Smart Upgrade Offers
Upsell pop-ups are a great way to encourage shoppers to upgrade to higher-value products or bundles—ultimately increasing your average order value (AOV).
How to make them work:
🎯 Use targeted triggers
Set your pop-up to appear only for specific products using the Rules Engine or Data Source. This ensures the message is relevant and timely.💰 Highlight the value
Offer perks like discounts or free shipping to incentivize the upgrade. The added benefit makes the switch more appealing.🔄 Seamlessly replace items
When a shopper selects “Upgrade,” Rebuy will automatically replace the original product in their cart with the upsell version—no extra steps needed.Example:
📈 Real-World Example: Roma Designer Jewelry:
Roma Designer Jewelry had a sterling silver chain that was performing well—but the gold version wasn’t selling as much. To shift customer interest and increase AOV, they launched a targeted upsell pop-up.
Here’s what made it effective:
Specific targeting: The pop-up was only triggered when customers viewed the silver chain.
Clear incentive: Upgrading to the bundle included discounts and free shipping, making it a no-brainer.
Smooth experience: Rebuy automatically swapped the silver item with the gold version when selected, simplifying the process.
🔁 Cross-Sell Pop-Ups: Guide Shoppers to Discover More
Cross-sell pop-ups are a smart way to help customers explore more of your catalog — especially if you offer a wide range of products. By suggesting complementary or relevant items, you not only increase cart value but also improve product discovery.
💡 Common Cross-Sell Strategies
Here are a few proven approaches to consider:
🛒 “Customers also bought” (Amazon style)
Leverage social proof by recommending products often purchased together.👗 Complete the Look
Suggest accessories or complementary items to create full outfits or bundles.📦 Move slow-selling inventory
Cross-sell less popular items to improve their visibility and sell-through rate.📈 Bonus Tip: Retention-friendly products
Identify products with the highest customer retention rates and promote those in your cross-sell. The more often customers return, the better your long-term revenue.
📚 Real-World Example: Printfresh
The team at Printfresh uses cross-sell pop-ups powered by Rebuy’s AI recommendation engine to drive last-minute additions at checkout. Here’s how it works:
Right before checkout, shoppers see a pop-up suggesting additional items that go well with what's already in their cart.
These recommendations are based on actual customer behavior—using social proof to boost confidence and conversions.
The result? A more personalized shopping experience and increased order value.
✅ 3 Must-Haves for Effective Cross-Sell Pop-Ups
Want your cross-sell pop-ups to truly convert? Keep these essentials in mind when designing your experience:
Craft a title that speaks to your audience
Use language that builds trust and resonates with your shoppers. Social proof works wonders here—titles like “Popular With Other Shoppers” or “You Might Also Love” can instill confidence and make the offer feel more relevant.
Enable scrolling for product discovery
Cross-selling thrives on browsing. Use a product carousel to showcase multiple items in one pop-up. Giving customers a way to scroll through options dramatically increases the chances that they'll find something worth adding to their cart.
Place the pop-up at the right moment
Timing is everything. For most brands, the ideal moment is just before checkout—this keeps the shopping experience smooth and uninterrupted while giving customers one last chance to discover complementary products.
🔄 Switch to Subscription Pop-Ups: Turn One-Time Buyers into Lifelong Customers
If your store offers both one-time and subscription options, a pop-up can be a powerful way to encourage customers to make the switch—boosting long-term value (LTV) with minimal disruption.
💡 Why Use It?
This isn’t just about pushing subscriptions—it’s about offering real value. If customers can save money and get ongoing convenience, they’re more likely to opt in. A well-timed pop-up makes this decision easy.
🧠 When to Use It:
Focus on 1–2 hero products with consistently low churn.
Trigger the pop-up right before checkout to maximize visibility.
Add a touch of urgency—timers or limited-time offers can create effective FOMO.
