One-Click Upsells vs Thank You Page Upsells: What’s the Difference?
Both One-Click Upsells and Thank You Page Upsells help you generate extra revenue after checkout, but they operate under different technical rules and customer flows within Shopify.
📊 Quick Comparison
Feature | One-Click Upsell | Thank You Page Upsell |
|---|---|---|
Placement | Between Checkout and Thank You page | Directly on the Thank You page |
Subject to Shopify Post-Purchase Limitations | Yes | No |
Payment Info | Auto-charged (No re-entry required) | Requires re-entering payment details |
⚙️ How Each Upsell Type Works
One-Click Upsells
- Displays immediately after checkout, before the customer reaches the Thank You page.
- Customer payment details are already saved, allowing them to accept the offer in just one click without re-entering payment info.
- The item is automatically combined with the original order, avoiding additional shipping fees or separate fulfillment steps.
Thank You Page Upsells
- Appears on the final Thank You page.
- Because the checkout process is fully completed, payment details are not saved at this stage. Customers must re-enter their payment information to complete the additional purchase.
💡 Can a Customer See Both Offers?
Yes, if your setup includes both a One-Click offer and a Thank You Page offer, a customer using a supported payment method (such as Credit Card or Shop Pay) will see both: the One-Click offer first, followed by the Thank You Page offer.
- Supported Payment Methods: First, customers see the One-Click offer, then they proceed to the Thank You page where they can see the offer that you have configured.
- Unsupported Payment Methods: For payment methods where Shopify bypasses the post-purchase step (such as certain express wallets or manual payments), Shopify automatically skips the One-Click page and directs the customer straight to the Thank You Page offer.
Tip: If you want to avoid showing two consecutive offers to customers using supported payment gateways, simply set up your funnel with only a One-Click offer or only a Thank You Page widget.
