Broadcast makes it easy to customize upsell products with two custom metafield types:
Single product: Pair a unique product as an upsell.
List of products: Suggest multiple product promotions for any product.
These can be custom-chosen products for each of your products without having to use multiple product templates.
A second chance is available to the customer in the Cart drawer. If the customer doesn't use the Product page upsell promotion, they will have another opportunity in the Cart drawer:
To use the metafield feature in Broadcast, you'll need first to create a custom metafield. Once the metafield has been created, you can easily customize any of your products to use unique pairings.
Create the custom metafield. There are two options: a single product or product list. We'll use the product list version in our examples. The product list version is flexible, you can use one or up to three products as upsell promotions.
Wath this video to learn how to correctly create the custom required metafield and set up your products:
Create the custom metafield that's designed for Broadcast:
Create a product metafield with a unique namespace and key called: theme.upsell_list
Be sure to change the default namespace of "custom" to "theme" and the key must be "upsell_list"
Once you've created the metafield, the next step is to choose the metafield in the Theme Customizer's block settings:
Use the Shopify Product Admin to pair your products with those of others. Repeat for other products in your store.
Each product will automatically generate an upsell promotion on product pages and the cart. Choose one product for a single pairing or up to three products for a list of product recommendations.
Watch the video above for full details on correctly completing all the steps.
If you're using an older version of Broadcast that only supports single product upsell promotions, the metafield you will need to create is:
theme.upsell
This metafield allows you to choose one product pairing. Newer versions of Broadcast can use both metafields, a single product, and a product list.
