How to Set Up One-Click Upsells in Funnelish (Step-by-Step Guide)
Why One-Click Upsells Are the Most Powerful AOV Tool in Ecommerce
One-click upsells are one of the highest-ROI features available in Funnelish. Once a customer completes their initial purchase, they're shown an additional offer — and they can accept it with a single click, without re-entering their payment details. Their card is charged automatically.
Post-purchase upsells convert at 4-15%, meaning for every 10 buyers, 1-2 will say yes to your upsell offer. If your main product sells for $49 and your upsell is $39, a 10% upsell acceptance rate means you're earning an extra $3.90 in revenue for every customer — purely from your existing traffic, with zero additional ad spend.
How One-Click Upsells Work in Funnelish
- Customer lands on your product/landing page
- Customer completes the purchase
- Immediately after payment, the customer is redirected to your upsell page
- Customer sees a compelling offer with a single "Yes, add this to my order" button
- If they click yes — the product is added and their card is charged automatically
- If they decline, they're shown a downsell or taken to the thank you page
Step-by-Step: Setting Up a One-Click Upsell in Funnelish
Step 1: Add an Upsell Step to Your Funnel
Open your funnel in Funnelish and click Add Step. Select Upsell as the step type. This creates a new page in your funnel that appears after the checkout step.
Step 2: Design Your Upsell Page
A high-converting upsell page includes: a strong headline referencing the original purchase, a clear product image, 3-5 bullet points highlighting key benefits, a short testimonial, a prominent "Yes, add this to my order" button, and a smaller "No thanks" text link below the button.
Step 3: Add Your Upsell Product
In the upsell step settings, click Add Product and select the product you want to offer. Set the upsell price — a discount of 20-30% off the regular price creates strong urgency and perceived value.
Step 4: Set Up the Upsell/Downsell Flow
Configure: if accepted, go to next upsell or thank you page; if declined, show a downsell or go to thank you page. A typical high-performing sequence: Checkout to Upsell 1 at $39 to Upsell 2 at $19 to Thank You Page.
Step 5: Test Your Upsell Flow
Do a full test purchase and walk through the entire funnel to verify the upsell page appears, the "Yes" button charges the correct amount, the "No thanks" link works correctly, and the thank you page confirms the full order.
Choosing the Right Upsell Product
- More of the Same (Quantity Upsell) — "Buy 3 months supply for just $79 (save $40)" — one of the highest-converting formats for supplements
- Complementary Product — A product that enhances the use of the original purchase
- Premium Upgrade — "Upgrade to our Pro Bundle and get 2x the results"
- Protection or Warranty — A low-resistance offer for physical products

Frequently Asked Questions
How do one-click upsells work in Funnelish?
In Funnelish, a one-click upsell is a separate funnel step that appears immediately after a customer completes their purchase. Because payment details are already stored, the customer can accept the offer with a single button click — no re-entering card information. Funnelish automatically charges the additional amount and adds the product to the order.
What is a good upsell acceptance rate?
For most niches, a healthy one-click upsell acceptance rate is 8-15%. Rates above 20% may indicate the price is too low (test increasing it). Rates below 5% usually mean the product isn't relevant enough to the main offer or the price is too high relative to the main product. A 10% acceptance rate on a $39 upsell adds $3.90 to every customer's average order value at no additional ad cost.
What product should I offer as my first upsell?
Your first upsell should be your highest-value offer since customer enthusiasm is at its peak immediately post-purchase. The three best options are: more of the same product at a bulk discount (e.g. 3-month supply), a premium upgrade version of the product, or a closely complementary product that enhances the main purchase. Price it at 50-100% of the main product price.
Can I have multiple upsells in a single Funnelish funnel?
Yes. Most high-performing Funnelish funnels have 2-3 post-purchase steps: Upsell 1 (the main upsell), OTO 2 (a downsell shown to those who declined Upsell 1, or a second upsell for those who accepted), and optionally a third offer. Avoid more than 3 post-purchase steps — too many offers create decision fatigue and a negative customer experience.
What is the difference between an upsell and a downsell?
An upsell is the primary post-purchase offer shown to all customers immediately after checkout. A downsell is shown only to customers who decline the initial upsell — it's a lower-priced or smaller-commitment version of the same offer. The downsell captures revenue from price-sensitive customers who said no to the first offer, typically recovering 10-20% of upsell declines.
Should I offer a discount on my Funnelish upsell?
Yes — always offer the upsell at a discount compared to the regular price. A 20-30% discount with clear framing ("this special price is only available on this page") creates genuine urgency and makes the decision feel time-sensitive. Customers who just completed a purchase are already price-justified — a well-framed discount removes the last barrier to saying yes.
