Most stores miss the hidden profit in second and third basket items
Most online stores lose money on one-product orders because all fixed costs, like shipping, ads, and support are tied to the entire order, not each item.
Profit happens when customers add a second or third product:
- Shipping stays the same
- Support costs barely rise
- Extra items are rarely returned
Second and third items, like accessories or add-ons, boost margins because the only cost is the product itself. Yet many stores miss this profit opportunity by skipping the upsell moment.
