If you aren't familiar, an "Upsell" (a.k.a order bump) is a way to create an add-on purchase opportunity **during** the checkout process. In this help doc, we'll introduce you to our Upsells feature. We also have three other Upsell help docs: 1⃣ [**Bundle Upsell**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/176-use-upsells-to-sell-a-course-bundle.md) - Offer multiple courses at a one-time offer price 2⃣ [**Anything Else Upsell**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/192-sell-something-outside-of-teachery-as-an-upsell-coaching-call-physical-product-etc.md) - Offer anything else as an Upsell _(ex: 1-hour Zoom coaching, a physical product, or something else outside of Teachery)_ 3⃣ [**Upsells + Affiliates**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/193-course-affiliates-and-upsells.md) - Have your Course Affiliates get commission for Upsells too. 🎥 There's also a video walkthrough [at the bottom of this help doc](#h506294077) if you learn best through video and audio. * * * ## Introduction Let's jump right into a common scenario for using Upsells: you have a course (let’s call it your "main course") and then you create a second Teachery course to promote in your main course’s payment page. For our working example, let’s assume the following course names and prices: - **Main Course** - Sourdough Your Life 🍞 Course _($100 course)_ - **Second (Upsell) Course** - 🍲 Souper Duper Course _($50 Upsell offer)_ ## STEP #1: You're going to create your Upsell in the Main Course This is where you set the name of the Upsell, choose the Upsell Course, set your price, and set your optional discount. The Upsells feature can be found inside any course editor under the **Payment Pages section of the left sidebar menu.** Once you click into the Upsells section, simply click the **New Upsell** button to get going. > **Info:** Like payment pages, Upsells are related to individual courses/products. If you want to have the same Upsell but in another course, you'll need to **recreate** the Upsell in that other course. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/77CJKfxlnqw0ScT9WQ7TrSzdyX7BQ7cV2xyLKvVrMDybrSDW6f4bnAuTg2dYyl2ZMy1tiHI12UQ.jpg) ### Here are the Upsell Details you can set **Name Your Upsell** - Make this clear and obvious as you’ll need to search for it elsewhere and may be visible to your customers. You can update the name later if you like. **Pick Your Course(s)** - This is where you select which course(s)/products(s) will be added to your customer's account when they purchase this specific Upsell. **Set Upsell Price** - This is where you choose the full price for your Upsell as well as the currency. Most often, this will be the **full price** you sell your second course for. - _For example, the_ 🍲 _Souper Duper Course will have a full price of $100 and then we can set and display a discount offer (see below)._ > **Warning:** Two important notes: > > #1 Upsells are **ALWAYS a fixed-price** offer (example: $50). Upsells can be added to any type of payment page but the Upsell itself cannot have a recurring price. > > #2 The currency of your Upsell **must match the currency of your payment page.** **Set Upsell Discount** - This is where you'll set the discount for your Upsell (if applicable). - _For example, the full price of the Upsell course_ 🍲 _Souper Duper Course is $100. You want to offer a discount to entice customers to grab the Upsell offer, so you set a 50% OFF discount (you can do % OFF or $ OFF). The customer will later see the full price crossed out and the Upsell price of $50 (as depicted further down below)._ ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/mcrHH9HRg7crl2gajERMnF0v1HIz8aM5ktWLSh5zStZhVOKx94FcDXW8thGUGNwEmBxwtCbvBU0.jpg) ### Ready for placement! Once you finish adding all your Upsell Details and hit the Create Upsell button, you'll see your Upsell is ready for placement (Step #2 below)! ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/zla6Hz0WlwKAqArSc2j8vKczSOp95CWEH8joCPSaH77tS3vLEYtXlbPoii3sTh9c5sdWbSRPPNx.jpg) ## STEP #2: Place and customize your Upsell on a Payment Page > **Info:** **Important**: The following instructions/steps mostly apply to our original payment page template. Using our _new Payment Page Builder_? Although the basic principles remain the same, things look a little different. Upsell settings are available in the _Checkout > One-click Upsell_ section of your payment page. Pop [this help doc](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/240-creating-a-payment-page-with-our-builder.md#:~:text=your%20payment%20page.-,Important,-%3A%20If%20any) open for more! > **Warning:** If your **main** payment page is built with our [original payment page template](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/212-creating-a-payment-page-and-editing-your-default-payment-page.md), any upsell that makes use of our [new payment page builder](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md) will not be compatible i.e. you will either need to recreate your main payment page using our new payment page builder or ensure your upsells make use of the original payment page template. This is where you'll add your Upsell as an option for your customer to add on during checkout. In the _Payment Pages_ section of the left sidebar, you'll want to **click in to edit the payment page** you want to add your newly created Upsell to. ### Display your Upsell Once you're viewing the payment page, scroll down below the _Payment Information_ section and you'll find an orange **Add Upsell Display** toggle button. Then choose your Upsell from the dropdown menu that appears. > **Error:** The currency of your Upsell **must match the currency of your payment page.** If you are not seeing your Upsell in the "Add Upsell Display" dropdown on your payment page, it is likely because the currencies do not match. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/gSKtEHlInEn7KHeQyD4NhLK5bCV23s2k2apXruGZY6HGsu9rqQm8b9bvB2j26ybOsEVLwRbrDxb.jpg) Great! You've added the Upsell to your payment page and will now see editable areas which you can customize (see the next step). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/Fy2puHJNMq57iZCdJ2XY9v3pcAZbSIbPVhR742pXAB6zCGPEUcdai375JmyfFh2lTC6lacHJY4g.jpg) ### Customize your Upsell We've created a simple "bonus" image 🖼 as a placeholder for you and you can easily remove that image and add your own. The dimensions we recommend for an Upsell image are: **430px (wide) by 640px (tall).** If you don't want to use the left column of the Upsell, simply delete the image out of it and leave it blank. **This will cause the right column text editor area to span the full width of the Upsell section** (you will see this when you preview/view the payment page). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/ddt4JCtAypzbIXVWUGZ5kg49521ixRDpyPT00hjWfAUwRYb3NaJFu4HOXu3x7mjZ437zZXd3eJZ.jpg) ## STEP #3: Share your payment page (with added Upsell) with potential customers In the **Actions** menu of your payment page, select the **Copy Page URL** option to grab your page’s URL and share it or hyperlink to it where needed. ### 🛍 What happens after an Upsell purchase? Your Upsell has been set on a payment page, you've customized it, and a customer has purchased the Upsell during the checkout process. 🎉 🥳 ### 📬 Welcome Emails > **Info:** **Important**: [Learn more](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/152-setting-up-your-welcome-email-and-course-completed-email.md#heading-1-if-you-don-t-know-where-to-find-your-welcome-email) about how _welcome emails_ function and what you and customers can expect. > > We recommend leaving the _welcome email_ **enabled** as it includes a “smart” login and/or download link (depending on the course/product) which ensures a smoother onboarding and gets customers right into the content. By default your courses have the _welcome email_ turned ON. When a customer purchases your payment page (with added Upsell), **they will receive a _welcome email_ for EVERY course/product included.** In our example, that would be _welcome emails_ for: 1. **Main Course** \- Sourdough Your Life 🍞 2. **Second (Upsell) Course** \- 🍲 Souper Duper Course Once your customer completes the purchase they will get immediately dropped into the _Main Course_ (_Sourdough Your Life_ 🍞 in our example). They will receive the _welcome email_ to the _Second (Upsell) Course_ (🍲 _Souper Duper Course_). ### 👤 Teachery Customer Activity and Profile In the activity feed on the _Customers_ page in your account, you'll see an added note with the Upsell (in blue 🔵 text). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/mwv6q7YmZRka8aybDtnXUrcR2ix8rUY3FnjGOCH1975rlHKt7rsnDclSUvzWrFKN8bqsV18wzFg.jpg) If you click into view your _Customer's Profile_, you'll see we add a secondary "course card" for the Upsell course/product. We do this so you can take the following actions on the Upsell itself (separate from the "Main Course"): - Issue an Upsell refund (full or partial) - Revoke Upsell course/product access - Edit Upsell purchase date _(this is helpful if the course has a specific Start Date, Expiration Date, etc)_ > **Info:** [Learn more](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/129-revoking-access-refunds-deleting-customers-and-other-customer-actions.md#heading-2-revoke-course-access) about how revoking access works and what it may involve from your side. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/WixxV55TBDJaxYx9lmz5hP3CWY59D9sckEtPnbKXgT6E4AC1DzM0IgxWNfKrw7DsQS254ZlF4Hi.jpg) ### 🧮 Upsell Analytics We want to give you data to see how your Upsells are performing based on _Views_, _Sales_ _Conversion_, _Upsell_ _Conversion_, and _Total_ (Upsell) _Revenue_ generated. Upsell analytics start tracking the moment you create and place an Upsell on a payment page (and start sharing the payment page URL). This data is available to you in the Upsells section of your course/product. In the example below, the payment page has been viewed by three individual customers. One of those customers purchased and included the Upsell in their purchase. If you want more information as your payment page gets more views and purchases you can always download the CUSTOMER CSV for each Upsell (depicted below, beside the Upsell’s name). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/XdItuY0evAOFWNH9DfriTtkbpSssBKiS13odgsGUcEgXquQdKYFTXw2o7kufSMHhGSG10AUVDf1.jpg) ## 😎 Advanced Upsell Tip: Pre-Check the Upsell! Once you have an Upsell created and placed on a payment page, you can **pre-check** the Upsell box by appending a small bit of text onto the payment page’s URL: 1. While editing your payment page (that has an Upsell placed on it), click the **Actions** menu (purple button) in the top right. 2. In the **Actions** menu and click **Copy Page URL**. 3. Paste your URL somewhere and now add **?upsell=true** to the end of the URL (example: your-course.teachery.co/purchase**?upsell=true**) 4. 🎉 Share that URL! That'll pre-check the Upsell box for your customer. ## 🎥 **Watch the Video Walkthrough of Upsells** Use the chapter markers on the timeline of the video to jump to the specific steps that were outlined in the text above. * * * 💬 If, at this point, you hit any hurdles/doubts and can’t find the answers elsewhere in our [help center](https://help.teachery.co/), please use the support chat bubble\* in the bottom right of your screen.
