Accessories as upsells? And quote form pricing?

Is it possible to show the accessories as an upsell on the product page and flyout cart? I tested by adding an accessory to one of my products and switching the upsell setting from "normal" to "selected only".

The original upsells that showed in the flyout and under the "You might also be interested in:” section of the product page disappeared, but the accessory did not show.

I know I can add them as accessories, but I was hoping to work around the issue of the accessory price not always displaying. I could include the price in the title or description, but then it ends up showing twice once a date is selected.

Also, I'm not sure why the pricing the accessories don't show on the quote form, after they have chosen date. Asking customers to add something without knowing the cost probably isn't great for conversion rate.

Thanks.

Accessories are not able to be added as upsell items. Live pricing is only able to be displayed for accessories, as the price can vary depending on the time and can't be calculated without that time. These prices should appear on the website when a date is set.

Thanks for the response, Nick.

  • Accessories do show as upsells on the quote confirmation page, just not on the product page. However, you can only add one of each. I tested this with tables and chairs linked to a rental, and there was no option to adjust quantity. I double-checked the “hide quantity control” setting thinking that may be the problem, but it wasn’t enabled.
  • As far as pricing on the product page, I can see (from a technical perspective) why it wouldn't show due to the time/date not being chosen, but why wouldn't the pricing for the accessory be shown on the quote form?
    By the time they reach the quote form, the date and time have been selected so the price for the accessory is determined.
    We are asking them to add something to the quote form when they don't know the price.
    When they finally see it on the quote confirmation page, if they don't like it, there is no clear way I saw to edit it. That's not a good user experience. It would lead to confusion and more than likely someone leaving the site versus finishing the booking.
    I tried hitting the back button and editing, which you can do, but it also creates a new lead in the backend, which creates other issues.
