Targeting Rules, Pricing & Market Conditions

Purpose

Answer: “Who sees the upsell, at what price, and under what conditions?”

Why This Matters

Poor targeting is the fastest way to destroy upsell ROI.

Without proper rules:

• Discounts leak to low-value orders
• VIP customers see irrelevant offers
• Global stores show wrong prices or currencies

This article explains how Account Editor decides who sees an upsell and why — before it ever appears to a customer.

How Targeting & Pricing Works in Account Editor

Account Editor uses a rule engine that evaluates offers in real time:

• Customer context
• Order details
• Market & currency
• Inventory availability
• Discount eligibility

Rule Engine Logic (All vs Any)

When defining conditions, you can choose:

1.All conditions must match  (Strict targeting — best for high-value offers)

2.Any condition can match  (Flexible targeting — best for discovery upsells)  Example:

• Order value ≥ $75
• AND customer tag = VIP

Discount & Pricing Strategy

Discounts are applied at runtime, not via manual codes.

Key points:

• No visible discount codes
• Applied only to upsell item
• Shopify recalculates totals automatically

Strategy guidelines:

• 0% → Premium positioning
• 10–15% → Best balance for most brands
• 20%+ → Clearance or acquisition

Market Targeting (Shopify Markets)

Market targeting controls where an upsell appears.

Account Editor automatically adjusts:

• Currency
• Tax
• Localization (if enabled)

Use cases:

• Seasonal offers by region
• Excluding high-VAT countries
• Market-specific pricing logic
