How does it work?

Below is a quick step-by-step timeline explaining how the feature works.


  1. Purchase confirmed 🛍️

The customer completed the checkout process and confirmed their order.

  1. Email sent 📨

The customer will receive an email from you 10 min after order confirmed (sent by Bigblue, white-labeled) with an offer that you crafted:

    • One or more products included in the offer
    • A discount set by you

The customer has 1 hour to accept the offer

(optional) Variant selection

If the item has variants (size/options), the customer will see a temporary screen to select the variant they want.

  1. Shopify checkout 📲

The customer is interested in your offer, clicks on it. They are redirected to a Shopify checkout to pay for the extra item.

Note: In some cases (e.g., using Shop Pay), no additional payment method is required. However, for credit card payments, the customer may need to re-enter their payment details.

🎉 Order updated

Once the customer has paid, the order and fulfillment are updated with the new item.

Q&A

  • Will it create a second order, or will it be merged in the first order?
    • We will add the product to the original order. So no need for you to manually merge orders.
  • How long do my customers have to accept the offer?
    • 1 hour. Note: we may extend this timeframe in the future.
  • Can I customize the email sent?
    • Yes, you can edit its content, translation, and branding.
  • Can I have an Upsell app (Aftersell, Zipify) and use Bigblue’s Post-purchase Upsell?
    • Yes, today you can a store upsell app and Bigblue’s post-purchase app. You can also decide to trigger your funnel based on the prior acceptance/denial of the store upsell app (leveraging order tags).
  • How does it work for my accounting?
    • We leverage your Shopify's usual checkout and payment methods, and Shopify’s wait to edit orders and create discounts. If you have connected an ERP to your Shopify, you just need to confirm with your agency that it can capture order updates.
