How to set up Cart Upsell?

Cart upsell recommends extra products inside the slide cart, so customers can add more to their order without leaving the cart.


1. Turn on Cart upsell


Turn on Cart upsell


  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Apps > qikify Slide Cart > Slide Cart & Cart Upsell.
  2. In the Body card, turn on the Cart upsell toggle.
  3. Click the Cart upsell row (not just the toggle) to open its settings.


2. Set the recommendation algorithm and upsell text

  1. Select a Recommendation algorithm: Related or Complementary. These names match the same-named sections in Shopify's Search & Discovery app, used below to customize recommendations.


Recommendation algorithm options: Related and Complementary


  1. Enter an Upsell label — the heading shown above the recommended products in the cart (currently "Recommended Products").
  2. Enter Upsell button text — the label on each recommended product's button (currently "Add").


By default, Shopify generates these recommendations automatically. To pick the exact products yourself, use the Search & Discovery app:


  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Search & Discovery > Recommendations.
  2. Click the product you want to set recommendations for.
  3. Under Edit complementary products or Edit related products — whichever matches the algorithm you selected above — search for and add the products to recommend alongside it.

  1. Select an Upsell display type: Block (a vertical list) or Carousel (a horizontal scrollable row). On mobile, only Block or Carousel display — there's no separate sidebar option.
  2. Turn on Show cart upsell in side bar on desktop to also show recommendations in a sidebar on desktop screens.
  3. If the sidebar is on, select a Sidebar position: Left or Right.


Sidebar position options: Left and Right

Upsell product card type options: Horizontal and Vertical


  1. Enter a number in Maximum upsell products shown to limit how many products appear (currently 8). Leave it blank to show all upsell products configured in Search & Discovery.
  2. Turn on Exclude products from cart upsell to choose products that should never appear as upsell suggestions.
