Vanga AI • Upsell Assistant, built by Brio Commerce, takes an AI-first approach to upselling on Shopify: instead of building every offer by hand, you let its AI choose and optimize what to upsell across the cart, checkout, post-purchase, and thank-you pages. I set it up on a test store to see how much of the work the automation really does.
Setting it up
Setup is no-code and quick. Rather than writing rules for each offer, I let Vanga's AI generate and place the upsells, and shoppers accept them in one click — with no re-entering of payment or shipping details. It runs offers at multiple points, from the cart through the post-purchase and thank-you pages, so there are several chances to lift AOV on each order.
Key features
- AI-driven upsells: The app's AI selects and optimizes which products to offer, rather than relying on manual rules.
- Multiple placements: Cart, one-click, post-purchase, and thank-you-page upsells.
- One-click acceptance: Customers add offers without re-entering payment details.
- No-code setup: Get running without development work.
- Built for Shopify: Meets Shopify's highest standards for performance, design, and integration.
Pricing and trial
Vanga uses performance-based pricing: the Standard plan is $9/month plus 5% of the upsell revenue it generates, and the Pro plan is $99/month plus 2.5%. Both include a 14-day free trial. The low base fee keeps it accessible, and the revenue share means you mostly pay when it earns you money — though that percentage can add up at higher volumes.
Rating and reviews
Vanga holds a perfect 5.0-star rating across around 39 reviews and carries the Built for Shopify badge. Merchants highlight the hands-off AI upsells and the responsive support, which matched how little manual work it took to get offers running.
What could be better
The percentage-of-revenue component means the true cost scales with your upsell sales, so it's worth modelling against flat-rate alternatives. Because the offers are AI-driven, you also trade some manual control for the automation. And as with any post-purchase app, offers only appear for orders paid with supported payment methods.
My verdict
Vanga is a strong pick if you'd rather let AI handle upsell selection than build and maintain rules yourself, and the low base fee plus 14-day trial make it easy to test. Just keep the revenue-share pricing in mind as your upsell volume grows.
