Cart And Upsells

Cart Customization and Upsells

Most stores treat the cart as a review screen — a place where customers stop to verify before paying. That mindset wastes the single highest-intent moment in your entire funnel. The customer has already decided they want to buy. The cart is your last chance to raise the order value before checkout: suggest a complementary product, surface the free shipping threshold, let them adjust the quantity inline without trips back to the product page. Yaxii COD’s cart is a fully configurable conversion surface built around that reality — a second sales screen wearing a review screen’s clothes.

Opening the Cart settings

Go to Yaxii COD > Settings and click the Cart tab in the sidebar.

Configurable cart settings

SettingWhat it controlsConversion impact
Show quantity controlsThe plus/minus buttons next to each cart item that let customers change the quantity inline.On — removing the need to go back to the product page to adjust quantity prevents bounces.
Show upsellsThe “You may also like” row of suggested products displayed below the cart items.On — this is the single highest-ROI feature in the entire cart. Even a 2% take rate compounds into meaningful order value lift.
Upsell countHow many upsell products are displayed (default 2).Two to four works best — fewer feels empty, more becomes a distraction.
Show coupon fieldWhether the “Have a coupon?” input is displayed in the cart.Off by default. A visible coupon field tells customers “you are paying too much without a code” and pauses them while they search.

The Free Shipping Progress Bar

The Free Shipping Progress Bar lives at the top of the cart and fills as the cart total approaches the threshold you set — a powerful nudge that turns “should I add one more?” into “I will add one more”. The bar’s configuration (on/off toggle and threshold amount) is in Yaxii COD > Settings > Promotions, documented in the Header and Footer Setup article. This section focuses on the conversion behavior the bar drives once it is enabled.

When the bar is on, your cart becomes an active negotiation: customers see exactly how much more they need to spend to unlock free shipping, and the upsell row right below the bar puts ready-made suggestions in their path. This pairing — progress bar above, upsell row below — is the single most effective average-order-value lift available in the theme.

Where upsell products come from

The upsell row shows the products you have set as “Upsells” on each product’s WooCommerce edit screen. To configure which products appear:

  1. 1
    Open a product to edit
    Go to Products > All Products and click any product.
  2. 2
    Find the Linked Products panel
    In the Product Data section, click the Linked Products tab.
  3. 3
    Search and add upsells
    In the Upsells field, start typing the name of a related product and select it from the autocomplete. Add as many as you want — Yaxii COD will only display the count you configured in Cart settings.
  4. 4
    Save the product
    Click Update. The next time a customer adds this product to their cart, your chosen upsells appear in the upsell row.
The WooCommerce Product Data box on the Edit Product screen, with the 'Linked Products' tab selected and the 'Upsells' multi-select field populated with two example related-product names.
Configure each product's upsell list in the WooCommerce Linked Products tab.

Setting up the conversion-optimized cart

  1. 1
    Open the Cart tab
    Go to Yaxii COD > Settings > Cart.
  2. 2
    Turn on quantity controls
    Lets customers refine the order without leaving the cart.
  3. 3
    Turn on upsells
    The single highest-leverage setting in this panel. Even a small take-rate compounds across every order.
  4. 4
    Set the upsell count
    Start with 2 to keep the cart tight. Raise to 4 if you have a deep, well-curated upsell catalog.
  5. 5
    Keep the coupon field off
    Unless you actively run coupon campaigns, this field hurts more than it helps.
  6. 6
    Configure upsells on each product
    Open your top-selling products and set their upsell relationships in the WooCommerce Linked Products panel.
  7. 7
    Save Settings
    Click Save Settings.

What’s Next?

The cart is set up to convert. Next, build the Thank-You page — the post-purchase moment that decides whether a customer trusts the order is real, or calls to cancel an hour later.
