Add product upsells to the cart drawer

Show product picks inside the cart. Use Shopify's AI recommendations or your own rules.

Updated November 4, 2026

Turn on the Products upsell card in the cart editor. It starts on AI recommendations, so Shopify picks products for you. Click Save and shoppers see "You may also like" in the cart.

Set it up

  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer.
  2. Click Edit on your cart.
  3. Under Body, find the Products upsell card. If it isn't there, click Add block and pick Products upsell.
  4. Turn on the card's switch. A block you just added is already on.
  5. Click the card to open it.
  6. Set Recommend by to AI recommendations.
  7. Set Auto recommendation type: Related products or Complementary products.
  8. Set Recommendation limit, from 1 to 10. The default is 4.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Add a product on your storefront. The picks appear in the cart.

Where the picks come from

Shopify recommends products for one product: the last one in the cart list. We add no price limit, so picks can be expensive. You manage them in the Shopify Search & Discovery app. To choose the picks yourself, set Recommend by to Manual rules.

If a product has no complementary products, the drawer shows related ones. A new store may get few recommendations or none. Use manual rules until Shopify has data.

How it looks

  • Layout: Horizontal compact, Horizontal cards or Vertical list. Arrows show when the picks overflow.
  • Title and Subtitle: the default title is "You may also like".
  • Button text: the default is "+ Add".
  • Hide products already in cart: off by default.

What shoppers can do

  • Pick a variant from a menu on the card. Sold-out options read "Sold out".
  • Add one unit with the button. The drawer stays open.

Prices show in the shopper's market and currency.

What it can't do

  • It can't discount an upsell. Products add at their normal price.
  • It can't limit AI recommendations by price.
  • It can't show picks by cart value.
  • It has no stats report.

Added products count toward the reward bar like any other product.
