 "category": "Growth & Revenue",
 "task": "E-commerce growth",
 "summary": "One-click post-purchase upsell and downsell offers for Shopify, with targeting rules, AI product recommendations, A/B testing and a revenue dashboard.",
 "best_for": "shopify stores that want post-purchase upsells with no fixed monthly cost, where the bill only exists once the app has already added revenue, and that are comfortable being early on an app a few months old",
 "skip_if": "you already do more than $20,000 of upsell revenue a month and would rather pay a flat fee than 2.5% of the first slice, you sell thin-margin add-ons where a revenue percentage eats the profit on the extra sale, or you want an app with more than a few months of track record",
 "honest_knock": "The 2.5% comes off revenue, not margin. On a $40 upsell carrying a 20% margin the app takes a dollar of the eight you actually made — fine. On discounted or thin-margin add-ons the same percentage is a far bigger share of the profit, and the meter reads revenue either way. There is also no flat option to escape to: a store doing $20,000 of upsell revenue a month pays the full $500 and cannot buy out of the percentage, while the free-above-$20,001 tier only rewards stores already past that line. And the app is young — it launched on 19 June 2026, so at the end of August there were barely ten weeks of merchant experience behind it. Post-purchase offers also depend on your store's checkout supporting the post-purchase extension; check that before you plan around them.",

  "notes": "(re-verified 2026-09-19 on apps.shopify.com/post-purchase-upsell-hero and the vendor's own site; amounts unchanged since 31 August, USD) One plan, Performance, free to install, at $0 a month plus usage charges. The usage table, read from the listing's own pricing-estimator data, has two tiers: 2.5% on the first $20,000 of upsell revenue in a month, and $0 from $20,001 up. In practice that is a commission with a ceiling — the app cannot charge more than $500 in a month, and a month in which it sells nothing costs nothing. There is no paid tier above it: unlimited funnels and offers, one-click upsell and downsell, AI product recommendations, analytics and A/B testing and market translations all sit on that single plan. Charges are billed in USD every 30 days. The vendor's own site publishes no prices at all — its pricing link leads to the same single-plan listing — so the listing is the only place the meter is stated. Neither page defined how 'upsell revenue' is measured, so we asked, and the vendor answered in writing on 21 September 2026 with permission to quote it. The figure is net: the amount the customer is actually charged for the accepted upsell item, after any discount set on that offer, and nothing from the original cart is included. Refunds and cancellations of an accepted upsell are reversed automatically through Shopify — proportionally for partial refunds, with the 2.5% coming off alongside, and no support ticket needed — while refunds of original cart items never move the figure, because they were never billed. There is no multi-day attribution window either: the offer exists only on the Shopify post-purchase page between payment and the order confirmation, and the merchant sets how long that moment stays open, with a default of 20 minutes, any value from 1 to 59 minutes, or Shopify's own 60-minute default. The vendor says the full rule now sits in its help center under Pricing and billing. That is the vendor's account of its own meter, dated and on the record, but it is not something we have audited against a live bill.",

  "why": "AfterSell is the established name for post-purchase upsells on Shopify and sells on breadth and track record. Post Purchase Upsell Hero sells on the pricing model: no monthly fee, 2.5% of the first $20,000 of upsell revenue it generates, nothing above that. If you want the more proven option, that is AfterSell. If you would rather pay nothing until the upsells have already earned it, and can live with an app that launched in June 2026, this is the cheaper experiment — and the one you can stop without having paid for the trial."
