What is the difference between Cross Sell and Up Sell?

Cross-selling and Up-selling are somewhat similar buying practices, as the primary purpose of both of them is to increase the profit of the seller. However, a significant difference lies between them, which is the customer intention.

In cross-selling, the consumer has no intention of buying the product, the product is just cross-sold to them. However, it is not the same in the case of Upselling; in upselling, upselling appeals to the customer's desire of buying something.
