The short answer

Cross-selling offers the customer another product that complements their choice, not a pricier version of it. Moving them to a higher version is an «upsell»; adding a complementary product is a «cross-sell».

Why does Cross-selling matter to a seller?

Because it raises average order value with no new ad spend: the customer is already buying and the shipment is one. Its condition is that the suggestion truly complements, or it becomes a nuisance.

Cross-selling in ArabyBot

ArabyBot Store has three places: a «buy them together» bundle at a discount on the product page, «you may also like» below it, and a checkout offer the customer adds with one tick at a special price.

Frequently asked questions

1

What is the difference between cross-sell and upsell?

An upsell is a higher version of the same product; a cross-sell is another product that complements it.

2

When do I show a cross-sell?

On the product page and at checkout; and after delivery, in a follow-up message.

3

How much do I discount a bundle?

A small discount that keeps your profit; work it out from the two products' combined margin.
