Lesson 5.4: Adding Order Bumps and Upsell Pages (Free Workaround Method)

By /

Goal of this Lesson:
Simulate order bumps and upsells using Elementor and WooCommerce, without needing FunnelKit Pro. You’ll create an optional offer before checkout or after purchase to increase revenue.

🧠 Why This Works (Even Without Pro)

FunnelKit Pro gives you built-in order bumps and upsells — but you don’t need it to boost your sales.

You can:

  • ✅ Offer an add-on product before checkout (like a workbook or coaching call)
  • ✅ Show a “special upgrade offer” after purchase (via the Thank You page)

Let’s walk through how to set both up.

🧩 Strategy 1: Pre-Checkout Order Bump Page

This acts like a bump before checkout, giving buyers two options:

  • Course only
  • Course + Bonus product

🔹 Step 1: Create Your Add-On Product

Go to Products > Add New

  • Title: “Course Workbook” or “Coaching Add-On”
  • Type: Simple product
  • Check Virtual and Downloadable
  • Price: $9–$49
  • Publish

🧠 Tip: You can hide it from your shop page under “Catalog visibility.”

🔹 Step 2: Create Your Bump Page

  1. Go to Pages > Add New → name it “Special Offer”
  2. Click Edit with Elementor
  3. Add:
    • Headline: “Want to Get More Out of Your Course?”
    • Brief description of the bonus
    • Two buttons:
      • ✅ “Yes, Add It!” → pgsqlCopyEdit/cart/?add-to-cart=111,222 Replace 111 with your course product ID and 222 with the bonus product ID
      • ❌ “No Thanks, Just the Course” → pgsqlCopyEdit/cart/?add-to-cart=111
  4. Style the buttons clearly with different colors
  5. Link to your FunnelKit checkout page after cart

🔁 Strategy 2: Post-Purchase Upsell on Thank You Page

You can turn your thank-you page into a light upsell by promoting a second offer after the buyer checks out.

🔹 Step 1: Edit Your FunnelKit Thank You Page

  1. Go to FunnelKit > Store Checkout > Edit > Thank You
  2. Click Edit with Elementor

🔹 Step 2: Add Your Upsell Section

Add:

  • Headline: “Want to Go Deeper?”
  • Description: Briefly describe the bonus offer
  • Button: “Yes, I Want This Upgrade”
    • Link to the bonus product or a new checkout page with just that item
  • Optional: timer, testimonials, or a discounted price badge

⚠️ This isn’t a one-click upsell (they’ll still need to check out again), but it works!

🔧 Optional: Use Shortcodes for More Control

You can use WooCommerce shortcodes to show dynamic pricing, buttons, or product links inside Elementor.
