[](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/hHqimage.png) ### Upsell Products These are typically simple products, which should be single click upsells, e.g. scatter cushions or a basketball upsold to a pair of trainers. These will display near the add to basket button of the [Product Detail Page](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/product-detail-page "Product Detail Page"). [](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/brsimage.png)Made to Order and [Bundle](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/categories/page/bundle) products can not be upsells; due to the complexity of these products, they can not be single click adds to basket. Products with multiple variants are not recommended for Upsells - use Basket Upsells instead.
### Basket Upsells These are Variant to Variant upsells, and are applied to the add to basket pop up. Once an item has been added, the platform knows which Variant has been selected, which allows for dynamic upselling. When setting these up, A perfect use for this would be upselling a 'double' mattress protector to a customer who has bought a 'double' mattress, or 'size 10' socks to a customer who has bought 'size 10' shoes.

As standard, you can set up three levels of Variant Options. ## How Options display [](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/fufimage.png) # Customisation [](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/bQ2image.png) This tab allows you to manage Customisations; these are complex options where their number and/or complexity mean that creating individual Variants for each potential combination is impractical.To manage Customisations, the product must be set as 'Made to Order' on the [Product](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/categories/page/product "Product") tab
### Potential Uses There are a wide variety of potential use cases, as well as different solutions to the problem of product setup - Combinations of multiple options, e.g. 'Choose Colour', 'Choose Size', 'Choose Feet', 'Choose Drawers', 'Choose Tension', all on a single product - Visual representation of options via [Swatches](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/swatches "Swatches") - Parent and Child options, e.g. customer chooses 'with drawers' (yes/no), with a subsequent set of options that only display if they select 'yes' - Addition of personalisation, e.g. a handstitched name on the back of a football kit ### Pricing Customisations may be added at various price points - Options with a surcharge of a fixed monetary value, e.g. +£15 to add personalisation - Options with a surcharge as a percentage of the total value, e.g. +10% to have the product gold plated - Options with no cost implication, e.g. the cost of the option is built into the variant ## Setup Customisation is applied individually to each [Variant](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/categories/page/variants "Variants"). ### Managing CustomisationsField | Purpose |
