The hacks
One-click deluxe sample add-on at checkout
Show a single deluxe sample of a new product at checkout for $4.99. The low price point and "try before you buy" framing pulls 9.2%. The sample also introduces the next SKU.
Bundle upgrade offer before payment
Cart has cleanser + serum. At checkout: "Upgrade to the full routine - add moisturizer for $24 (save 15%)." The upgrade framing makes the add feel like completing, not adding. Tiergain triggers bundle upgrades based on cart contents.
Gift packaging add-on at checkout
Checkbox: "Add gift packaging ($9.99)." Beauty products are frequently gifted. The checkout packaging add-on catches customers who did not think about gifting until the last moment.
Free shipping threshold nudge at checkout
"You are $16 away from free shipping. Add a travel-size moisturizer?" The specific product suggestion + dollar amount converts 22% better than a generic threshold banner.
Subscription conversion offer on the thank-you page
After buying the routine: "Get this delivered monthly at 12% off." The customer just bought the products. Converting to subscription while satisfaction peaks pulls 8.4%. Tiergain structures the subscription bundle offer.
Post-purchase one-click upsell on the thank-you page
After payment: "Add matching lip product for $18 - one click, no re-entering payment." Zero cart abandonment risk. Pure incremental revenue. The thank-you page is the last untapped touchpoint.
One offer at checkout, not three
Multiple checkout offers drop conversion to 2.8%. One well-chosen offer converts at 6-9%. Pick the highest-margin complementary product and show it once. Simplicity wins at checkout.
