What is checkout blocks?
Wait, you weren’t using checkout blocks? Well, now is a great time to learn about them for all my Shopify plus peeps. They basically allow you to add upsells, free shipping progress bars, and a whole host of other information without coding.
One of my favorites was the upsell line item it allowed you to nudge the user to complete a set and get more things. Increase average order value.
I am excited to see how Shopify adds this to the platform. Since I usually use headless, and the checkout is one place where I can’t get as fancy as I usually can on the rest of the site, it will be great to have this integrated at a deep level of shopify.
Update:
Every Shopify Plus store can now use the following features on @CheckoutBlocks for FREE:
✅ Custom shipping discounts
✅ Custom order discounts
✅ Rename payment methods
✅ Rename delivery methods
✅ Conditionally hide payment methods
✅ Conditionally hide delivery methods
