Here at SuitePlugins, we’ve worked with many Shopify and WooCommerce merchants across various industries, and mobile phone stores consistently stand out as one of the most profitable verticals—especially when accessory upsells are done right. From high-end smartphones to budget-friendly models, customers are almost always in the market for complementary products. We’ve compiled this guide to help you build a compelling product page and maximize average order value (AOV) using our Upsell Accessories Addon Tab app for Shopify and Product Accessories and Addons for WooCommerce plugin.

Why Accessory Upsells Matter for Mobile Phone Stores
When a customer purchases a smartphone, they often need multiple add-ons—from protective gear to charging solutions. By organizing these into well-labeled tabs or sections on your product pages, you reduce friction and boost the likelihood of multiple-item purchases in a single order. Our data shows that merchants who implement curated accessory sections see up to a 20% lift in AOV within the first 30 days.
Recommended Page Layout for Mobile Phones
We recommend a clean, distraction-free product page layout that emphasizes:
- Hero image carousel showing front, back, and lifestyle views of the phone
- Clear product title and key specs like screen size, memory, battery life
- Call to Action (Add to Cart) placed above the fold on desktop and mobile
- Accessory Tabs or Sections just below the main product info
- Customer reviews and trust badges toward the bottom
Accessory Lists You Can Create for Mobile Phone Products
Below are examples of curated or rule-based accessory lists you can set up for any mobile phone product using either of our platforms:
1. Cases
Offer a variety of protective cases for each phone model. Include silicone, rugged, wallet, and slim-fit styles. These are highly compatible with curated lists or rule-based filters such as: tag contains "iPhone 14 case".
2. Screen Protectors
Tempered glass and anti-glare protectors can be filtered by phone model or vendor. Use product type rules like: product_type contains "protector".
3. Chargers & Cables
Highlight fast chargers, magnetic chargers, USB-C and Lightning cables. Tag products with “charger”, “usb-c”, “lightning”, or vendor names.
4. Wireless Charging Pads
MagSafe-compatible pads or universal Qi charging stations. Use rule-based lists to show chargers compatible with the specific phone model.
5. Power Banks
Great for upselling with flagship phones. Filter by tag (e.g., “powerbank”, “portable battery”) or vendor for curated tech accessories.
6. PopSockets & Grips
Trendy and functional. Can be grouped by tag: “popsocket”, “grip”, or vendor-based rules. Add curated lists for seasonal or limited editions.
7. Phone Mounts
Include car dashboard mounts, bike handlebar holders, and desk stands. Use a curated list for premium models or rule-based for all mounts by tag.
8. Bluetooth Earbuds & Headphones
Complement the phone with wireless audio gear. Group by vendor (e.g., Apple, Samsung, Jabra) or by tags like “wireless earbuds”.
9. Stylus Pens
Especially useful for Samsung Note and similar models. Use rule-based lists that include stylus products by product type or tags.
10. Cleaning & Care Kits
Microfiber cloths, lens wipes, and phone-safe cleaning sprays. Add to a tab labeled “Care & Maintenance” for added credibility.
How to Set Up Accessory Tabs or Sections
For Shopify Users:
- Open the Upsell Accessories Addon Tab app and select a product (e.g., iPhone 14 Pro).
- Click “Add Accessory List” and name it (e.g., “Cases”).
- Select Curated for manual selection, or Rule-Based to use a filter such as
tag contains "iPhone 14 case". - Repeat this for each category: Screen Protectors, Chargers, Power Banks, Mounts, etc.
- Click “Save List” once all tabs are configured.
- Open your Shopify theme customizer and go to the product template.
- Add the “Accessory Tabs App Block” where you want the tabs to appear (usually under the Buy Box).
For WooCommerce Users:
- Install and activate the Product Accessories and Addons for WooCommerce plugin.
- Edit the main product (e.g., iPhone 14 Pro) and scroll to the Accessories section in the product edit screen.
- Add new accessory lists and link products manually or using rules based on tags, categories, or attributes.
- Save the product and preview it. Accessory sections will appear below the product description or in the tabbed content area, depending on your theme.
Design and Layout Tips
- Use clear and simple tab or section titles like “Cases”, “Chargers”, and “Audio”.
- Keep each accessory group focused with no more than 4–8 products for best visual flow.
- Select a layout from plugin/app settings that complements your store’s theme.
- Ensure mobile responsiveness and intuitive navigation across devices.
Advanced Setup Ideas
- Tag consistently: Tag all accessories by model name (e.g., “iphone-14”) to power your rule-based lists.
- Use metafields (Shopify) or attributes (WooCommerce): Mark compatibility for smarter automation.
- Segment tabs or sections by usage: For example, “Essentials”, “Audio”, “On-the-Go”.
- Track performance: Use Shopify or WooCommerce analytics tools to monitor performance after rollout.
