ThanklyClub vs UpsellWP: two WooCommerce plugins for different jobs
Both plugins run in WooCommerce, and both can show something on the thank-you page. But UpsellWP offers shoppers your own products, while ThanklyClub offers partner gifts that earn the store a share. You can install both if you keep them in different places.
| Criteria | ThanklyClub | UpsellWP |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Income from partners for new customers | Sell more of your own products: upsells, cross-sells, order bumps |
| Developer | ThanklyClub | Flycart |
| What the shopper sees | 1–3 partner gifts: a trial, a discount, a bonus | Your products: add to the order, take a bundle, buy more |
| Placements | Thank-you page and order confirmation email | Product page, cart, checkout; in PRO, after payment and on the thank-you page |
| Free version | All features are free | Lite on WordPress.org: checkout order bump, cart cross-sell, "frequently bought together", one-click upsell, a coupon for the next order |
| Paid version | None; the store gets 60% of the partner's payout | PRO: post-purchase upsell, offers on the thank-you page, popups, A/B tests; annual licenses by number of sites |
| Where the money comes from | The partner's payout | Additional sales of your own range |
Where UpsellWP is stronger
If a shopper is ready to add one more of your products to the order, that almost always beats a partner share: you keep the whole margin. UpsellWP covers the whole purchase path, from the product page to checkout, and the free version already includes an order bump and cross-sell.
The plugin has 5,000+ active installs and a high rating on WordPress.org.
Where you need ThanklyClub
After payment the shopper's wallet is already closed, and a second ask to buy something else works less often. A partner's gift costs the shopper nothing: a month of a service for free, a discount on a first order. That kind of block gets clicked, and the store earns a share when the shopper becomes the partner's customer.
ThanklyClub doesn't make you build campaigns: AI analyzes your catalog, hides competing categories, and the server picks gifts for each order.
How to run both plugins
Keep them in separate places: UpsellWP in the cart and checkout (order bump, cross-sell), ThanklyClub on the thank-you page and in the order confirmation email. That way the shopper sees one offer at each step.
If you use UpsellWP PRO offers on the thank-you page, check how the page looks with two blocks. In ThanklyClub you can keep gifts in the email only: on the Placement tab, clear the "Thank-you page after checkout" checkbox.
Verdict
UpsellWP is for selling more of your own products before and during checkout. ThanklyClub is for earning a partner share after payment. For a WooCommerce store, it isn't an either-or choice: the plugins cover different steps of the purchase.
FAQ
Will the plugins conflict?
They do different jobs and plug into different places. If both show a block on the thank-you page, keep one there and move the other to the cart or the email.
Is UpsellWP free?
There is a free Lite version on WordPress.org. Post-purchase upsells and offers on the thank-you page are available only in PRO.
Which earns more, an upsell or a partner gift?
An upsell gives you the whole margin, but only if the shopper buys more. A partner gift brings a share from the orders where an upsell wouldn't have worked. They work best together.
