Upsell Popups

Catch the order on its way out.

One offer, at the two moments a shopper actually acts — the add to cart, and the click on Proceed to checkout.

LUMÉ is a demo store — its numbers are illustrative.

Scene 3 of 6 in the shopper journey: the product page — the booster fires on Add to cart, which happens on single product and archive pages alike. In its demo the offer lands after the checkout click and takes a $91 cart to $135.

Triggers

Two moments. That is the whole list.

No placement picker is documented, and none is needed. In the plugin it is SalesMax → Sales Boosters → + New Booster → Boost Popups.

Click a trigger — the preview swaps to the page it fires on.

Both triggers can be used independently or combined for layered targeting — one booster campaign can answer the add to cart, the checkout click, or both.

What this trigger lets you set

Popup shows to

All products, specific products or specific categories — the setting decides which product interactions are allowed to trigger the popup.

Product suggestion method works based on

Cart products bases the suggestions on all current cart items; Added product (recently) bases them on the most recently added one.

These two are the only moments this booster fires.

We are naming the limit rather than hiding it, because the limit is the point: this popup is caused, never thrown. It answers something the shopper just did instead of interrupting them mid-browse. The documentation for Boost Popups lists no other trigger, so none is claimed here:

  • no exit-intent or mouse-leave detection;
  • no on-page-load, timed delay or “after N seconds” popup;
  • no scroll-depth or idle trigger;
  • no countdown, expiring offer or automatic urgency — the Highlight Badge is text you type, not a timer;
  • no frequency cap, once-per-session rule or dismissal memory is documented, so we do not claim one.

The math

The math, disclosed.

Paid for in moments, not impressions — it shows only on add to cart or checkout. Say 4,000 popups, 4% taken, an offer worth $34: 4% × $34 × 4,000 = +$5,440/mo. Press the keys.

The control room

What goes in the popup, and when it is allowed to run.

Deliberately short — everything on this panel is documented; nothing here is inferred.

What the popup offers
Related products

WooCommerce’s own related products, related by shared tags or categories — nothing to maintain.

Cross-sell products

The cross-sells you already picked under Linked Products on the product itself.

Upsell products

The upsells from the same Linked Products panel — the step-up version of what they are buying.

Specific products

Hand-pick the set with the product search when you know exactly what should be offered.

Two selectors, one popup

This booster-level source is separate from the add-to-cart trigger’s cart products vs added product setting. The docs describe them as separate controls and never state how they resolve against each other, so we don’t either.

Discounts
Fixed or percentage

A fixed amount off each product (the docs’ own example: “each add-on gets $3 off”) or a percentage off each item individually (“20% off each item”). Or none at all — the products show at their regular price.

“Free” — hedged on purpose

A Free (100% off) type is listed, but the docs asterisk it and note that available discount options may vary by booster type, so we can’t confirm it is selectable on this one. Treat it as check-before-you-plan.

Exclude products already on sale

If a product already carries a sale price you can optionally keep it out of the extra discount. The docs describe this one under SalesMax’s general settings, not as a per-campaign field.

When it is allowed to run
The three documented conditions

Business hours (e.g. 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM), a condition on a category being purchased, and user roles (e.g. logged-in customers). These are the examples the documentation gives — and it says most boosters support conditional visibility, so confirm on your build before you design a campaign around one.

Start & end date

Pick the day the booster activates and the day it deactivates itself. Day granularity — the docs say “select the day”, not the time.

What this panel does not have

No AND/OR rule groups, no condition sets and no negation: the docs never state how multiple conditions combine, so we won’t draw you a logic diagram. No cart-total threshold, no geo or country rule, no device rule, and no new-versus-returning customer rule — none of them is a documented field for this booster.

FAQ

Questions merchants actually ask

Does the popup affect SEO or page speed?

No. Popups are injected dynamically after page load and do not block core content.

Can I run multiple popups on different pages?

Absolutely. Create separate booster campaigns with different targeting rules and designs.

Will it work with my theme?

The popup is displayed dynamically when a customer interacts with your store, based on the selected trigger settings. It works across all pages and themes, and it needs no page reload and no redirect to appear.

Can I trigger a popup after someone adds a product to the cart?

Yes. Use the “After product added to cart” trigger option. You can narrow it to all products, specific products or specific categories, and decide whether the suggestions are based on all current cart items or only on the most recently added product.

The popup isn’t showing — what should I check?

Confirm the booster is enabled in the dashboard, check that the triggers are set correctly, verify your display conditions, check that the selected products are published and in stock, and temporarily disable caching or popup-blocking extensions while you are testing.

Works well with

Boosters that fill the cart this one answers.

The popup answers an action. The row starts with the boosters that give the shopper a reason to act in the first place, then runs through the rest of the suite.
