Overview
Unlike the standard Pre-Purchase Upsell offer that adds the trigger product to the customer's cart, the Pre-Purchase Upgrade Offer allows you to replace the trigger product with your offer product! If you have a product that comes in different sizes, is part of a bundle or has a premium version, this is a great way to encourage the customer to swap up and increase your AOV!
Adding a Pre-Purchase Upgrade Offer
Navigate to the pre-purchase offer section and click on Create Offer.
From there, select Upgrade an existing product in the cart and click Continue:
Now select your offer product, and once your offer product is selected, click on it to access the pre-purchase upgrade offer editor.

Upgrade Offer Revenue Statistic
The revenue calculation for the Upgrade Offer type is the difference in price between the trigger product and the offer product only. For example, if the trigger product is $20 and the upgrade offer product is $25, OCU calculates $5 in revenue for an accepted offer.
If there was Shopify discount code applied at checkout that discounts the upgrade offer, it's also taken into account in revenue calculation. For example if the trigger product is $20 and the customer adds a $25 upgrade offer. Then applies a 10% discount code at checkout bringing the price down to $22.50. OCU calculates the difference in price between the trigger product and the discounted upgrade offer only as revenue, in this case $2.50.
