Upsells and Downsells
What is an Upsell?
An Upsell is used as a way to advertise another Offer after the initial Offer has been purchased.
A user will complete a purchase and the Upsell will appear as a separate page after checking out and before the account creation page:
The upsell page will ask your customer to make an additional purchase. Your customer can then choose to purchase the Upsell or decline the Upsell.
Afterward, they will be redirected to the account creation page to set up their account details.

What is a Downsell?
A Downsell is another Offer presented to customers that decline to purchase the Upsell.
This gives you a second chance to make an additional sale if your customer declines the original Upsell.
Downsells are typically lower-priced Offers, a discount on the same Product, or an Offer for a completely new Product.
