How to Build an Order Bump System Using the Stripe API in Replit

Build an order bump system by creating a /bundle-offer page that appears after the main purchase button is clicked but before Stripe checkout. The page shows the main product plus the bump offer with a discounted bundle price. When the user accepts, create a Stripe Checkout Session with both price IDs. When they decline, create a session with only the main product price. Claude writes the complete logic including the dynamic Stripe session creation.

What an Order Bump Does

An order bump is an additional offer presented at the point of purchase -- after the user has decided to buy but before they complete payment. Because the purchase decision is already made, conversion rates on order bumps are significantly higher than on standalone offers. A well-designed order bump increases average order value by twenty to forty percent without requiring additional traffic.

The psychology: the user is already in purchase mode and already trusts you enough to buy. The friction to add something related is low. The bump should be a natural complement to the main purchase -- something they would want anyway now that they are buying the core thing.

The Technical Flow

User clicks Buy on main offer page. Instead of going directly to Stripe, they land on /bundle-offer?from=main-product. This page shows: the main product they are buying, a related bump offer at a discounted price, an "Add to my order" button and a "No thanks" link.

If they click Add: POST to /api/create-bundle-checkout with both product price IDs, create Stripe session with both items, redirect to Stripe.

If they click No thanks: POST to /api/create-checkout with just the main product price ID, create Stripe session with one item, redirect to Stripe.

The Prompt for Claude

"Add an order bump system to my Replit app. After the main Buy button is clicked, redirect to /bundle-offer instead of directly to Stripe. On /bundle-offer, show the main product plus a bundle add-on offer. If the user accepts, create a Stripe Checkout Session with both price IDs [main price ID] and [bump price ID]. If they decline, create a session with only [main price ID]. The bundle should be priced at [bundle price]."

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I build an order bump in Replit?
Create a bundle offer page that appears after the Buy button but before Stripe checkout. The page shows the main product plus a bump offer. Accepting creates a Stripe session with both price IDs. Declining creates a session with only the main product.
What makes a good order bump offer?
A natural complement to the main purchase at a lower price than buying separately. If someone is buying access to your content library, the bump might be a live session or template pack. If they are buying a course, the bump might be a coaching call.
What is a good discount for a bundle offer?
Twenty to thirty percent off the combined individual prices is typically compelling without being a giveaway. The discount should be real and visible -- show the original prices of each item plus the bundle savings.
Can I have multiple order bumps?
Yes but each additional step reduces conversion. One well-designed bump at point of purchase outperforms multiple bumps in most cases. Test one bump before adding more.
What is the difference between an order bump and an upsell?
An order bump is presented on the same page at point of purchase -- before checkout. An upsell is presented after checkout on a post-purchase page (called an OTO or one-time offer). Both can be built in Replit.
