AfterSell
AfterSell is a Shopify post-purchase upsell application. Its scripts display targeted upsell and cross-sell offers on order confirmation and thank-you pages, track which offers are viewed and accepted, and set cookies to associate conversions with the original purchase.
Overview
AfterSell focuses on a specific moment in the e-commerce journey: the period immediately after a customer completes a purchase. By presenting targeted upsell and cross-sell offers on order confirmation and thank-you pages, the platform aims to increase average order value without interrupting the initial checkout flow.
The platform integrates with Shopify stores and uses purchase context — what the customer just bought, their order value, and other transaction details — to select relevant product recommendations. AfterSell's scripts track which offers are displayed, which are clicked, and which result in additional purchases, using cookies to tie these post-purchase interactions back to the original transaction.

Under GDPR and ePrivacy, cookies used to track promotional engagement and optimize marketing offers require consent, even when deployed on post-purchase pages within an existing customer relationship.

How does ConsentStack handle AfterSell?
ConsentStack detects AfterSell's post-purchase upsell scripts and assigns them to the marketing consent category. Before a visitor grants marketing consent, ConsentStack prevents the upsell offers from loading on thank-you pages. Once consent is provided, AfterSell's targeted product recommendations display as configured.
