How do I create discounts for complementary products?

I'm looking to increase my average order value by strategically offering discounts on complementary products. My current approach feels random, and I want a systematic method to encourage customers to purchase related items together. I need to understand how to identify which products work well together, how to structure these discounts, and what psychological triggers can motivate customers to add more items to their cart. What are the most effective strategies for creating compelling complementary product discounts?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Create complementary product discount campaigns in Growth Suite by setting cart-content triggers. When a visitor has product A in their cart, show an offer for product B (the complementary item) at a discount. This works for any natural product pairing in your catalog.

Creating Discounts for Complementary Products

Complementary product discounts are about relevance. The offer works because the customer already demonstrated interest in the main product - the complementary item is the obvious next purchase.

Identifying Good Complementary Pairs

  • Products frequently purchased together in your order history
  • Items that complete a use case (camera + memory card, coffee maker + filters)
  • Products in the same collection with natural pairings
  • Consumables that go with durable goods

Campaign Configuration

  1. In Growth Suite, create a campaign with trigger: Cart contains Product A
  2. Set discount: 10-20% on Product B
  3. Show offer with clear connection copy: 'Goes perfectly with [Product A]'
  4. Set timer: 15-30 minutes

Data source: Check your Shopify order history for products with high co-purchase rates. These natural pairs convert at much higher rates than arbitrary cross-sells because the relationship is proven by your own customers purchase behavior.
