Introducing the New Ancillary Merchandising Platform

When it comes to converting upgrade interest into revenue, your user experience is everything. That’s why we rebuilt ours from scratch. Plusgrade’s new Ancillary Merchandising Platform delivers a fully redesigned passenger interface. It’s mobile-first, and built for continuous optimization.

Why we rebuilt the upgrade flow

Legacy interfaces weren’t designed for today’s mobile-first world, or the nuanced ways passengers interact with upgrade offers. The new Ancillary Merchandising Platform was engineered to:

  • Minimize friction and decision fatigue.
  • Present upgrades and seat options visually, across all flight legs.
  • Improve accessibility and responsiveness on mobile and desktop platforms.
  • Make testing and optimization easier.

The result is a platform that feels lighter, faster, and more personalized—for both passengers and partners.

What’s new in the Ancillary Merchandising Platform

  • Simplified upgrade flow

    A condensed, scrollable design presents all available offers with clear visuals and fewer steps to checkout.

  • Mobile-first design

    The new Ancillary Merchandising Platform adapts to screen size without compromising layout, speed, or usability.

  • Optimized for experimentation

    With built-in support for tools like Optimizely, the new Ancillary Merchandising Platform makes it easier to A/B test layouts, offer combinations, and offer prompts.

  • More offer visibility

    Passengers can see and act on multiple upgrades across multiple segments within one interface. This leads to more total submissions.

Built for what’s next

The new Ancillary Merchandising Platform is not just a visual refresh, it’s the foundation for upcoming Plusgrade innovations:

  • Instant Upgrade Upsell enables automatic targeting of passengers who have already bid, giving them the option to purchase the upgrade outright.
  • More testing, more learning through embedded analytics and real-time UX optimization.
