Upsell products are products that you want to encourage your customers to buy, not the ones you are currently looking at. These are in the same category as what you are currently viewing, but are items such as high price, high quality, etc.
When you view a particular product page, you'll also see related products, but these are products intended to be purchased in addition to what the user is currently viewing.
Cross-selling
items appear on both the product page and the shopping cart, but are similar to
impulse purchases. These can be considered online equivalents to products near
the grocery store checkout line.

Where to use cross-selling, up-selling, or related products
Before
purchase: The product page or category page below the main product, or the
sidebar.
At
the time of purchase: Shopping cart, checkout, and abandoned cart emails.
After
purchase: Follow-up email.
Upsell
As
already briefly explained, Upsell spends more money on more expensive and
feature-rich models in the product categories that potential customers are
already viewing, or adds additional premium components to it. The purpose is to
do. An example of an upsell would be to display some of the more expensive
computer monitors on the cheaper monitor product page.
Related product
Related
products are products that are intended to be purchased in addition to the
products that the customer has already seen. Examples of related products are
displaying a box of nails on the Hammer product page or providing a mouse and
keyboard to those who purchase a desktop computer. The easier it is for
customers to buy items that they are likely to need with them, the more likely
they are to buy them.
Cross-selling
Cross-selling
is an item that normally appears on the shopping cart page after the item has
been added to the cart, but it may also appear in other situations. The purpose
of cross-selling products is to instruct customers to buy products that they
would otherwise have never thought of / purchased. For example, a product such
as a battery or dishwashing liquid might be displayed to a customer in a
clothing-filled shopping cart. These cross-selling products can be thought of
as having similar functionality to products near the grocery store checkout
aisle. In particular, it has nothing to do with the product the customer has
already purchased, but it may be noticeable or considered worth the additional
purchase.
Strategy
Here
are some useful strategies for getting the most out of upsell, cross-sell, and
related products.
Bundled products
Bundled
products give you the opportunity to attract customers across a set of free
products. Often, these product bundles are offered at a discounted price, but
you can also sell items that may not have been purchased under other
conditions.
Don't offer expensive add-ons
The cost of additional purchases should be directly related to the initial price of the item. The price of these add-on items is less than 25% of the initial price of the product.
The
main purpose of an effective upsell is to provide customers with a reason to
buy upgrades / add-ons later or not at all. There are several major benefits to
motivating your customers.
Show range, but don't overload your customers
Too
many choices available can be confusing. For related products, it's a good idea
to choose fewer, but more appropriate, or more relevant products, rather than
displaying a large number of available options. If you want to display a wide
range of items, use the carousel to display them.
Display products according to relevance
The
more relevant a set of product proposals, the more they need to be displayed on
the main product.
Personalize your headlines
Personalized copies work better than common headings. For example, "may like you" is more attractive to prospects than "people also see". Other suggestions for headings to use:
"You may be interested too ..."
"Complete the appearance ..."
"May
I make a suggestion ..."
