Drive Upsells and Cross-Sells to Increase AOV

Add or Replace product button

The Replace Product button allows users to swap products in their cart with a single click. It can be used anywhere on your site to present targeted offers or messages, but is most commonly used on cart pages or in conditional pop-ups to promote upsells and cross-sells.

To create the button, add the following shortcode to your page:

[ifsoWC type='replace-product-button' add='123' remove='234' amount='2' submit='BTN TEXT' reload='yes' ajax='yes']

Parameters:

• add – The ID of the product to add to the cart
• remove – The ID of the product to remove from the cart
• amount – Number of items to add
• submit – Button text
• classname – Optional CSS class
• reload / ajax – Control how the cart updates

Variation support:

To replace a specific product variation:

[ifsoWC type='replace-product-button' add='4578' remove='4578' add_variation='4583' remove_variation='4582']

How to implement

The Replace Product shortcode is typically used together with If-So conditions to control when and where the button appears.

For example, you can display the button only when specific conditions are met, such as:

• If a specific product is in the cart, show a button to replace it with a higher-value alternative
• If a customer purchased product X, suggest adding a complementary item
• If the cart contains items from a certain category, offer an upgrade or bundle

To do this, add the shortcode inside an If-So trigger or conditional element, and set the relevant WooCommerce condition. When the condition is met, the Replace Product button will be displayed to the user.

This approach ensures that upsell and cross-sell offers are shown at the right moment, making them more relevant and effective.

Step-by-step: How to implement upsell & cross-sell using the product replacement shortcode

The setup involves two main steps: (1) creating a trigger with the relevant WooCommerce condition, and (2) adding the Replace Product shortcode to the content.

1. Download and activate the If-So Dynamic Content plugin and the If-So & WooCommerce integration.
2. On your WordPress dashboard, go to If-So → Add New to create a new trigger.
3. In version A, set the WooCommerce condition (for example, Product in cart or Purchase history).
4. In the content area of that version, add the Replace Product shortcode. For example:

[ifsoWC type='replace-product-button' add='123' remove='234' submit='Upgrade Product']

5. (Optional) Add additional versions with different conditions and replacement offers.
6. Save the trigger.
7. Embed the trigger on your site using its shortcode (e.g., ) in the relevant location, such as the cart page, product page, or a pop-up.

When the condition is met, the Replace Product button will appear and allow users to swap products in their cart with a single click.
