Where an offer sits decides what it is allowed to do, and the rules get stricter the further along the customer is. On the product page and in the cart, an offer is just an addition to the cart. On the checkout page itself, an extension can still change cart lines directly. Once payment is taken, that stops: Shopify documents that write access is not available on thank-you page targets because the order is complete.

So the familiar "add this before you go" screen after payment is not an ordinary page block. It is a separate post-purchase extension that appears after the order is confirmed and before the thank-you page, it depends on the customer's payment method already being stored, and it comes with real constraints: access has to be requested from Shopify, there is a cap on accepted offers per checkout, a minimum order value, it is online store only, and it does not appear on local delivery orders. Two listings using the same phrase can therefore mean quite different things.

What to look for in a Essential Upsell & Cross Sell app

Which surface you actually need: Product page, cart, checkout and after payment are four different products with four different sets of limits. Decide where the offer belongs for what you sell, then check that the listing genuinely reaches it rather than mentioning it.
What decides the recommendation: Hand-picked pairs are predictable and stay correct only while you maintain them. Automatic recommendations scale and occasionally suggest something silly. Look for the ability to do both, and to exclude products that should never be offered.
How the offer looks on a phone: This category adds blocks to pages that are already busy, and on mobile an offer between the cart and the checkout button is a hurdle. Judge it on a real phone with your theme, and be willing to run fewer offers.
What a post-purchase acceptance does to the order: If the offer lands after payment, ask exactly what happens: one order or two, how shipping is charged on the addition, what your fulfillment system sees, and how a refund is handled. This is where an upsell can quietly create work for your support team.
Overlap with what you already run: Recommendations, frequently bought together and bundles all appear in this grid, and several listings sell all of them. Stacking two apps that both inject offers into the cart is how a page ends up with three competing suggestions.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time.
