Smart Cart Upsell & Product Recommendation Popup
The Opportunity
An app that suggests relevant add-on products the moment a customer adds an item to cart. It can show a popup, cart drawer recommendations, or a 'frequently bought together' module to increase average order value.
"The merchant wants an easy way to recommend additional products at the cart stage to boost conversions and order value without manually configuring upsells."
