Imagine your customer’s cursor hovering over the checkout button, only to vanish when reward tiers feel irrelevant or unclear. This disconnect costs merchants $18 billion annually in lost sales. But tools like Aftersell’s Upcart and Abra’s AI-powered promotions are flipping the script.
How cart personalization drives customer loyalty
61% of consumers say tailored promotions make them more likely to make a purchase, yet many brands still use one-size-fits-all discounts.
Upcart + Abra fix this gap in a few different ways. Upcart, a cart drawer app from Aftersell, is helping personalize and tailor every cart. And Abra fuels those carts with custom promotions.
Together, we help brands:
- Display rewards clearly in the cart
- Seamlessly integrate Abra's promotional banners inside Upcart
- Boost AOV by 35%
- Improve conversions by 30% through strikethrough pricing
Brands like Good Protein generated $92k additional monthly revenue.

What does this mean for you? You can now add:
- Tiered discounts with dynamic pricing. Showcase promotional rewards in the cart as customers add items.
- Tiered gifts. Reward customers with gifts across the entire shopping journey. Discount codes with anywhere – from product pages to checkout.
- Subscription gift with purchase. Tailor promotions to specific customer segments or subscription products, ensuring your offers are relevant and impactful.
"If there is a certain style they have purchased in the past, make your offer only around their favorites. That is a way to make the offer feel personal and thought through for them."
Daniel Patricio, Abra Promotions
