Growth & Upsells

Growth tools overview

A tour of the Growth page — the performance numbers, the growth plan, the map, and every growth tool with one line on what it does and a link to its guide.

The Growth page is where every RecurX tool for winning more subscribers and bigger orders lives. Each tool has a card that says where it shows up (product page, cart, a link you share, and so on), whether it's on, and a button to open it. This guide walks through the page and lists every tool with a link to its own guide.

Who it's for: anyone setting up RecurX on the storefront. Most tools are on every plan; the ones that need Pro say so below and on their card.

To open it, go to Apps → RecurX Subscriptions → Growth in your Shopify admin.

Growth performance

The card at the top (1) shows how your storefront widget did over the range you pick (Last 7 days, Last 30 days or Last 90 days):

  • Widget views: how often the subscription widget was shown.
  • Option switches: how often shoppers switched between options in the widget.
  • Add-to-cart rate: the share of views that ended in an add to cart.
  • Subscribed: new subscriptions that came through the widget.
  • Bundle picks: how often shoppers picked a volume or bundle option.

A badge (for example Converting) sums up whether the whole path works: the widget renders, shoppers engage, and subscriptions are created.

The Growth plan line under the numbers counts your plan's steps and names the next one. Use Open growth plan (2), Open map (3) or View report (Growth analytics).

Tip: Create checkout link in the top right is a shortcut to a new express checkout link. More actions → Suggest a feature opens Feature requests.

Growth tools and filters

Under Growth tools, the bar on the right counts how many tools are active (for example 13 of 13 active). Use the tabs to narrow the list: All, Convert, Grow order or Reward.

Each card shows a status badge (Active · 3 means three items are live; Not set up means none yet), where the tool shows for shoppers, and a button that opens it.

Where to start

  • Nothing on your storefront yet? Publish a plan and turn on the RecurX app embed first — see Install and customize the subscription widget. Most growth tools only show once the widget is live.
  • Already selling subscriptions? Turn on the cart offer (Cart drawer subscription offers) so one-time buyers can switch before checkout, then add a frequently-bought-together offer on your best-seller.
  • Measure it. Check View report after a couple of weeks — see Growth analytics.
