Subscription Upsell
A Subscription Upsell is optional art that appears when a listener tries to play content that requires a subscription. It also appears on Channel or Show Pages that have subscription offerings to which a listener has not yet subscribed.

What is the purpose of a Subscription Upsell?
While it functions similarly to the required Subscription Promotion, a Subscription Upsell visually showcases your subscription content. Your show covers will be overlaid on the lower portion of your artwork to show your potential subscribers what’s included in their subscription.
Best practices
These recommendations will help you format your Subscription Upsell artwork for Apple Podcasts. They’ll also help preserve your original design as your art comes to life in the user interface and across the platform.
Use the Subscription Upsell template. It helps you place all essential design elements within the art safe area so they won’t be cropped or obstructed by user interface elements overlaid on top of the artwork. The template includes interface area guides to account for various placement scenarios.
Distinct branding. Your subscription artwork should be visually distinct and separate from your shows and channels.
Fill the entire template with art. Whether you’re using photos, illustrations, or other graphics, make sure they’re high resolution and fill the entire template.
Don’t include any Show Covers, marketing copy, or promotional content. Keep the area clear, because user interface elements may be overlaid on top. You can always share more details about your offering, like a descriptive tagline or pricing, in the user interface text.
