Cart Upsell with Discount Conflict Protection
The Opportunity
An in-cart upsell app that adds offers and discounts without breaking existing product-level discounts, automatic promotions, or other cart logic. It is designed to preserve merchant pricing rules while increasing average order value.
"Merchants want in-cart upsells and discounts, but many tools interfere with other product discounts and create conflicts in the cart."

Competitive Landscape
