# Sales boosters: the conversion tools > Social-proof and welcome popups, a slide-out cart, frequently bought together, a post-purchase upsell, Buy X Get Y offers and a WhatsApp bubble, plus the free shopping tools: quick add, the phone buy bar, card star ratings, the delivery line and the phone bottom menu. Guide: https://sitesplaced.com/help/online-stores/sales-boosters · Section: Online Stores · Last reviewed: 2026-09-21 ## What they are The **Sales boosters** section of Settings holds the tools that work on a shopper who is already on your store: proof that other people are buying, a reason to buy today, a reason to add one more item, and a way to ask you a question first. They are switches, not projects. > **Most boosters need the Growth plan:** The social-proof popup, the welcome popup, the slide-out cart, frequently bought together, the post-purchase upsell, Buy X Get Y offers and the WhatsApp bubble run on **Growth** (₹499/month) and above. They are **not** included with Free or **Starter**. **Coupon codes and the free-shipping bar stay free on every plan**, as do the product image hover, the category label setting and every one of the [shopping tools](#shopping-tools) below. ## Where to find them 1. Open your store dashboard and go to **Settings**. 2. Open the **Sales boosters** section, or type *popup*, *upsell*, *cart* or *quick add* into the **Search settings…** box at the top. 3. Switch on what you want, then press **Save** in the bar at the bottom. Every change is a draft until you do, so set several up and save once. 4. Open your live store and check each one on a phone. **Buy X Get Y** offers are the one booster that lives elsewhere, under **Settings → Discounts → Offers**, next to your coupon codes. ## Free-shipping bar A sticky bar that says how much more the shopper needs to add for free delivery. It is **free on every plan** and has no switch: it appears once you have set both a **delivery charge** and a **free delivery above** amount under **Settings → Shipping**. The card here tells you whether it is on, with a button through to those settings. It is hidden on a cart of digital downloads. ## Social proof popup A small message in the corner of your storefront that says something like *Priya from Mumbai just bought this*. Tick **Show recent-sales popup on my storefront** and save. - It uses your **real recent confirmed orders**. Nothing is invented, so a store that has not sold yet shows nothing. It starts on its own once orders come in. - Only the buyer's **first name, city and the product** are shown. No phone number, no email address, no order value, no full name. ## Welcome and promo popup A one-time popup for a first-time visitor that hands over one of your coupon codes. Tick **Show a promo popup to first-time visitors** and the rest of the fields appear. 1. Write the **Heading**, for example *Get 10% off your first order*. 2. Write the **Subtext**, for example *Use this code at checkout.* 3. Pick the **Coupon to show** from the list of your active coupons. Choose **No code, announcement only** if you just want to say something, such as a festival delivery cut-off. 4. Optionally tick **Ask for email before revealing the code**. The shopper types their email, the code appears, and it is emailed to them as well. The list only holds coupons that are active and have a code, so create the coupon first under **Settings → Discounts**. The heading updates its discount figure to match the code you pick. Emails captured this way land in your **Messages** tab. ## Slide-out cart Tick **Open a slide-out cart drawer on cart-icon click** and tapping the cart opens a panel over the page instead of loading a separate one. The shopper can change quantities, see how close they are to free delivery, and see a suggestion of something else you sell, without losing their place. Leave it off and the cart icon goes to your full cart page as before. ## Frequently bought together Tick **Show “frequently bought together” on product pages** and each product page gains a row of complementary products with one button that adds the group to the cart. You can rename the heading, which reads *Frequently bought together* by default. ## Post-purchase upsell Tick **Show an upsell after an order is placed** and the order-placed screen offers a couple more products with one-click add. It cannot cost you the first order, because that one is already placed. ## Buy X Get Y offers Under **Settings → Discounts → Offers**. An offer makes the cheapest qualifying items in the cart free, and it applies itself: the shopper does not type a code. 1. Press to add an offer and give it a name, for example *Festive Buy 2 Get 1*. The name is for you. 2. Set **Buy quantity** and **Get free**. Buy 2, get 1 free is the usual starting point. 3. Set **Applies to**: **All products**, or **A category** and then which one. 4. Set **Free item comes from**: **Same products as above (cheapest free)**, **Any product in the cart**, or **A different category** and then which one. The last option is how you run *buy a handbag, get an accessory free*. 5. Tick **Active**, then **Save**. The line under the fields spells the offer back to you in words so you can check it before saving. The discount is worked out on our server when the order is priced, so a shopper cannot tamper with it. Offers stack with a coupon code, and the combined discount never goes past the value of the goods. ## WhatsApp chat bubble Tick **Show a floating WhatsApp button on my storefront** and a WhatsApp button sits in the corner of every store page. Set a **Prefilled message** so the chat opens with the question already typed. The bubble uses the WhatsApp number in **Settings → Store details**, so add that first. Until you do, the card tells you the bubble is not active. ## The two free extras in this section - **Product image hover** swaps a product card to its second photo when a shopper hovers over it. Products with only one photo are unaffected. - **Category label on product cards** hides the small category line under product names. Turn it off when your categories are merchandising groups such as *Bestsellers* or *Under ₹2000* rather than real product types. ## Shopping tools, free on every plan Five more cards in this section make buying quicker, mostly on phones. They are **free on every plan** and never lock. A store created from September 2026 starts with the first four switched on (the delivery line shows cash on delivery and your delivery cost to begin with). An older store has them off, so nothing about it changes until you turn them on. - **Add to cart from the product list** — tick **Show an Add button on product cards** and shoppers add to the cart straight from the grid, without opening the product. If the product has sizes or options, a small panel asks which one. Sold-out products and products with no price never show the button. - **Keep the buy button on screen** — tick **Show a buy bar at the bottom on phones**. On a long product page, the price and Add to cart follow the shopper down, so they never scroll back up to buy. It appears only after the real Add to cart button scrolls out of view. - **Menu at the bottom on phones** — **Show the bottom menu on phones** pins Home, Shop and Cart to the bottom of the screen, the way big shopping apps do. Only some templates have this menu (the card names them), and on those it is on unless you untick it. It hides itself on product pages and the cart, where the buy button sits instead. - **Star ratings on product cards** — tick **Show stars on product cards** to show the average rating and number of reviews on each card. It reads your [product reviews](https://sitesplaced.com/help/md/online-stores/product-reviews.md), so it needs reviews switched on, and reviews are part of the Growth plan. A product with no reviews shows nothing — never an empty or made-up rating. - **Delivery and payment line on the product page** — the row under the buy button that answers *when does it arrive*, *can I pay cash* and *can I send it back*. Tick **Say that cash on delivery is available** and **Say what delivery costs** to have those lines read from your own checkout and shipping settings, and type **When you dispatch** (e.g. *Ships in 24 hours*) and **Your returns promise** (e.g. *7-day easy returns*). Anything you leave blank is not shown. Only write promises you can keep. Want a coupon code to show on the store itself? Tick **Show this code on the store** on that coupon under **Settings → Discounts**. It then appears, with a copy button, in the *Offers for you* box on your product pages. Codes are private until you tick this. See [Discounts, coupons & offers](https://sitesplaced.com/help/md/online-stores/discounts-and-offers.md#coupons). > **Not every template shows every tool:** The General Store and the newer templates are built with these tools. On some of the older designs a switch can save without changing anything on the storefront. [Choose a store template](https://sitesplaced.com/help/md/online-stores/choose-a-store-template.md) lists the templates. **Product reviews** also live in this section, but they are their own feature with their own guide: see [Collect product reviews](https://sitesplaced.com/help/md/online-stores/product-reviews.md). They need the Growth plan too. ## What happens if your plan lapses Nothing is deleted. Your settings are kept exactly as you left them and the boosters stop running on the storefront: the popups do not appear, the cart goes back to a full page, and Buy X Get Y offers stop being priced. The section then says *Boosters you switched on are saved and paused. They go live again the moment you upgrade.* Pay again and everything comes back with the same settings, offers included. A trial works the same way: every booster is live during the 14 days, and pauses rather than resets when it ends. ## Which ones to switch on first - If your average order is small: **frequently bought together**, then the **free-shipping bar** with a threshold a little above your usual order. - If shoppers browse and leave: the **welcome popup** with a real first-order coupon. - If shoppers ask questions before buying: the **WhatsApp bubble**. - Switch them on one at a time and give each a week. Turning on six at once tells you nothing about which one worked. **Q: Do coupon codes need a paid plan?** No. Coupon codes and the free-shipping bar are free on every plan, and always have been. What needs Growth is Buy X Get Y offers and the popups, cart drawer, upsells and WhatsApp bubble. **Q: Do quick add, the phone buy bar and the delivery line need a paid plan?** No. The shopping tools — the Add button on product cards, the buy bar on phones, the bottom menu, the delivery and payment line and star ratings on cards — are free on every plan. Star ratings only show once you collect reviews, and reviews are part of the Growth plan. **Q: Does the Starter plan include the boosters?** No. Starter (₹199/month) covers your own domain, badge removal, AI copy, analytics, custom code and Meta Pixel with the Conversions API. The selling tools on this page start at Growth. **Q: I turned the boosters on but nothing shows on my store. Why?** Three usual reasons. You have not pressed Save at the bottom of Settings. Your plan does not include boosters, in which case the section shows a locked panel. Or the booster has nothing to show yet: the social-proof popup needs recent confirmed orders, the promo popup needs an active coupon, and the WhatsApp bubble needs a number in Store details. **Q: Will I lose my settings if I cancel?** No. Every booster setting and every Buy X Get Y offer is kept. They pause on the storefront and come back the moment you are on a plan that includes them.
