Hello, fellow e-commerce aficionados! Today, we're excited to introduce you to a game-changing tool that will revolutionize your shopping cart experience: Rebuy's Smart Cart Add-On app. This feature empowers you to tailor your cart to include a user friendly toggle upsell for things such as gift wrapping, express shipping, shipping protection, gift cards, and more.
If you require shipping protection services, please be advised that Rebuy does not offer inherent shipping protection or product insurance. You may choose to use an alternative shipping protection application, such as Route, which is a technology partner integrated with our platform.
This application functions as a convenient toggle switch for upsell options, specifically for applications that are not currently directly integrated with Rebuy's Smart Cart.
In the dynamic world of ecommerce, in-cart upsells offer a powerful strategy to enhance both revenue and customer satisfaction. By seamlessly integrating options such as premium gift wrapping and skip the line in cart, ecommerce businesses can unlock new streams of revenue while providing added value to their customers. These strategic upsells not only increase average order value but also differentiate your brand in a competitive market, positioning your store as customer-centric and forward-thinking.
With Rebuy Cart Add-On Smart Cart App, you will not have the option to auto-add the product to cart. This is in response to Shopify’s updated policy, which requires all apps to display costs and obtain explicit buyer consent before adding any optional paid items to the Storefront, Cart, or Checkout.

Currency conversion for the add-on product's line item price is not currently supported for stores with multiple currencies.
With Rebuy Cart Add-On Smart Cart App, you will not have the option to auto-add the product to cart. This is in response to Shopify’s updated policy, which requires all apps to display costs and obtain explicit buyer consent before adding any optional paid items to the Storefront, Cart, or Checkout.
FAQs
Will the app convert my add-on product's price to a different currency?
At this time, the Smart Cart Add-on app only supports the shop's base currency.
For example, if your store's base currency is in USD, and you want the add-on app to display a converted currency price for the add-on product line item if and when the customer switches the shop's currency, this is not yet supported. The add-on product's line item price will remain shown in the shop's base currency. However, when the add-on item is toggled on (and added to cart), the Smart Cart's subtotal value will reflect the converted local currency with the converted price of the add-on line item factored in.
