1. Add Trusted Payment Icons
Shoppers feel more confident when they see familiar, secure payment options. Adding payment icons such as Visa, PayPal, and Apple Pay reinforces trust right before purchase.
In the video, we show how even a small touch like this can significantly reduce cart abandonment and reassure first-time buyers that your checkout is secure and professional.
2. Use Free Shipping Progress Bars
Everyone loves free shipping—but not everyone knows how close they are to earning it.
Adding a free shipping progress bar at checkout motivates customers to increase their cart total to reach the free-shipping threshold.
For example, “You’re only $12 away from free shipping!” turns passive shoppers into action-takers and lifts AOV (Average Order Value) effortlessly.
3. Showcase Customer Reviews
Social proof matters, even at checkout.
Displaying customer reviews or a short testimonial snippet near the payment step can reinforce trust at the exact moment of decision.
Using Checkout Plus, you can easily pull in verified review text or star ratings that highlight product satisfaction without cluttering the page.
4. Offer Relevant Upsells
Upsells inside checkout are one of the most powerful ways to increase revenue without new traffic.
By showing recommended add-ons or complementary products, you remind customers of items that enhance their order—like accessories, warranties, or bundles.
In the video, we demonstrate how to use Checkout Plus to trigger smart, condition-based upsells that fit naturally into the checkout flow.
5. Highlight Your Store’s Benefits
A short benefits list—such as “30-Day Returns, Fast Shipping, 24/7 Support”—builds confidence and reminds customers why they’re buying from you.
It’s subtle, but it strengthens your brand promise at the most crucial step of the journey.
Bringing It All Together
Each of these five checkout enhancements—payment icons, free shipping bars, reviews, upsells, and benefits lists—works together to build trust, increase AOV, and create a smoother buying experience.
With Checkout Plus, you can implement all of them directly inside your Shopify Checkout using UI Extensions that are fast, secure, and built to scale.
