Insider Secret. The order bump secret: before someone pays, offer a small add-on for $17 to $27. "Add the Canva rebrand kit for just $17 more." 30 to 40% of buyers click yes. Your average order jumps from $47 to $60+ without a single extra customer. Set this up in ThriveCart or Stan Store before your first post goes live.
