Upsell Galleries are a powerful way to boost average order value by showcasing product suggestions right where customers are most likely to add more to their cart - on the Product Page or in the Cart Drawer.
Unlike basic upsell tools that just suggest related products, Sauce Upsell Galleries combine authentic user-generated content (UGC) with smart, contextual recommendations—turning inspiration into action. This fusion of social proof and relevance not only drives more clicks, but builds trust and encourages customers to buy more confidently.
Here’s how to set them up in your Shopify store.
🛍️ Product Page Upsell Gallery
Option 1:
Using Shopify App Blocks (Theme 2.0 or newer)
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize next to your current theme.
In the Theme Editor, open a Product template.
Click “+ Add block” and select Sauce Upsell Gallery.
Drag the block where you want it to appear on the page.
Save your changes.
✅ That’s it—your gallery is live!
Option 2:
Using a Custom Liquid Block (for older themes)
In the Theme Editor, open a Product template.
Click “+ Add block” and choose Custom Liquid.
3. Go to your Sauce Backoffice Upsell Gallery Embeds.

FAQs
🔧 Installation & Setup
1. What if I don’t see the Upsell Gallery appear after installation?
This could be due to theme caching, incorrect snippet placement, or missing product tags. Double-check installation steps, that the plan you're on supports Upsell functionality and ensure your products are tagged with media inside Sauce.
2. How are products chosen for upsell recommendations?
Upsell products are based on what the customer is viewing or has in their basket. Sauce recommends items that have been tagged together—and pairs them with the videos or images they appeared in. So you get smart, context-aware suggestions backed by the media that drives conversions.
3. Can I show different upsells for different products or collections?
Yes! You can control upsell content at the product or collection level using Sauce’s media tagging and media gallery logic.
4. Do I need to edit my Shopify theme code to install this?
Basic installation requires a snippet insertion. No advanced dev work is needed. However, more custom placements (e.g. in-cart) may need developer help or collaborator access.
🎯 Functionality & Performance
5. Will the gallery slow down my product pages?
Nope. The Sauce script is lightweight, async-loaded, and optimised for speed.
6. Can I track how well the upsell gallery is performing?
Yes! Performance data is visible in your Sauce analytics dashboard, including impressions, clicks, conversions, specific products upsold and attributed revenue.
7. What happens if a product in the upsell gallery goes out of stock?
You can choose whether out-of-stock items are hidden or still displayed - depending on your store logic this can be configured to achieve the result you're looking for.
🤝 Customization & Compatibility
8. Can the Upsell Gallery match my theme styling?
Yes, the gallery can be customised to match your fonts, colours, and layout preferences using Sauce’s style settings or with CSS overrides.
9. Is it compatible with other upsell or personalisation apps?
Generally, yes - but we recommend testing or reaching out to support if you’re running advanced personalisation tools that also modify PDPs or the cart.
10. Can I show videos in the Upsell Gallery?
Absolutely. Sauce supports UGC, shoppable video, and image-based upsells - all media types can be linked to the gallery.
