8 Best Upsell and Cross-Sell Plugins for WooCommerce

Every WooCommerce store owner has exactly the same goal: get more sales. But here’s the reality that most people miss: selling to your existing customers is significantly easier (and much cheaper) than finding new ones. 

Despite this, many store owners get stuck on the ‘new customer treadmill,’ spending a fortune on ads to find fresh leads, while neglecting the audience they already have.

If you aren’t using upsells and cross-sells on your store, you’re missing an opportunity to increase your revenue during every single checkout.

When you suggest the right products at the right time, your Average Order Value (AOV) increases. Even better, your customers will be happier because you’re helping them find products they genuinely need.

If you’re ready to boost your revenue without blowing your ad budget, you’re in the right place. After testing all the most popular upsell and cross-sell tools, I’ve narrowed it down to the absolute must-haves.

That said, here’s the best WooCommerce upsell and cross-sell plugins to grow your revenue, and your store.

9 Best WordPress Conversion Tools (Skyrocket Sales & Signups)

Let’s be honest: seeing your traffic numbers climb is exciting. But if those visitors leave without subscribing or buying, that traffic is just a vanity metric.

I’ve spent years teaching WordPress, and I’ve learned that the right conversion tool often drives more revenue than a massive SEO campaign. At WP101, we rely on optimization plugins like OptinMonster to capture leads and MonsterInsights to see exactly what’s working, and we’ve seen amazing results.

How to Add Testimonials & Reviews to WordPress (and Build Trust)

Reading a good review makes me feel much more comfortable clicking the ‘buy’ button. That’s why I always recommend adding testimonials and reviews to your own WordPress website. It helps visitors feel that same confidence in you.

The hardest part is figuring out how to display those reviews. I’ve tried just copying and pasting them onto a page, but that took way too much time, and got messy very quickly.

After testing many different plugins and methods, I’ve found two excellent ways to add reviews to your WordPress site.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through both options – from building a custom testimonial page to automatically importing reviews from sites like Google, Trustpilot, and TripAdvisor. By the end, you’ll be able to pick the perfect approach for your business.

8 Best Social Proof Notification Tools for WordPress (Reviewed)

You’ve poured your heart and soul into your WordPress site, but visitors just aren’t taking the plunge. Wondering what others are doing to get conversions?

There’s a secret weapon websites use to build trust and convince visitors to convert: social proof.

Think of it like online word-of-mouth. By showcasing real user-generated content (UGC) and activity on your site, you subtly nudge visitors towards trusting your brand. This triggers the psychological principle of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), making your offer feel essential.

Imagine seeing a notification popup saying “Jane from New York just bought this product!” or “John just signed up for our free trial!” Suddenly, your website feels less lonely and a whole lot more trustworthy.

That’s where social proof notification tools come in. These handy plugins for WordPress automate the process too! They track activity on your site and display notifications about recent purchases, sign-ups, and even reviews.

Intrigued?

I’ve tested the heavy hitters to save you the headache of trial and error. Let’s dive into the best options to maximize your sales triggers and supercharge your WordPress website’s social proof game!
