What are Shopify
Checkout UI Extensions?

Shopify's checkout UI extensions, also simply called as Shopify UI extensions, are Like LEGO pieces for your store

Imagine your Shopify store’s checkout as a LEGO baseplate. A strong and yet versatile foundation.

Shopify’s UI Extensions are the LEGO blocks you can use to create endless possibilities.

With Shopify Checkout Extensions, you can customize your store’s checkout functionality & appearance to meet your unique needs.

What Can You Create, Using Checkout Extensions?

Using Checkout UI Extensions, you can create a variety of checkout elements such as:

Checkout Upsell Blocks

Trust
Badges

Date of Birth Collection Field

Free Shipping Progress Bar

And many many more

We will explore each of these in detail later.

What Business Metrics Do Checkout Extensions Impact?

Business Metrics

Conversion Rate

Checkout Conversion Rate

Average Order Value (AOV)

Lagging Metrics

Retention

Customer Lifetime Value

Loyalty

Shopify checkout extensions impact key business metrics. When implemented strategically, checkout UI extensions can directly affect your bottomline. Overall, checkout extensions play a significant role in conversion rate optimization (CRO).

Revenue Impact of
Conversion Rate

We often underestimate the significant impact a small increase in conversion rate can have. Let’s break it down with an example:

Imagine the Tinfin Catfood store, which has an Average Order Value (AOV) of $40. Currently, their checkout conversion rate is 40%, and they process an average of 3,000 monthly orders. To achieve those orders, 7,500 customers must enter the checkout process—of which only 3,000 complete their purchase. This results in a monthly revenue of $120,000.

Now, Tinfin decides to implement critical checkout extensions that boost their conversion rate by 20 percentage points, bringing it up to 60%. With the improved rate, 4,500 customers complete their purchases. At the same AOV of $40, this results in a new monthly revenue of $202,500. Imagine what you can achieve with Shopify UI extensions.

How do Shopify Extensions work?

Imagine each of these LEGO pieces mentioned earlier has a certain design & functionality. For example, a farmer LEGO piece or a LEGO hair dryer.

In a Shopify checkout, each of these LEGO pieces, known as “Checkout UI extensions”, transmit have capabilities to transmit information and perform some action.

What do these pieces translate to, on Shopify?

Image

Text

Progress Bars

Buttons

Dropdowns

Checkboxes

+ More

Now imagine this— you combine an 'image’ LEGO block with a 'text' LEGO block to create a ‘trust badge’ LEGO piece for your checkout. That's the power of Shopify checkout UI extensions.

Shopify Plan Eligibility

Access to Shopify Checkout Extensions is limited to Shopify Plus customers.

We highly recommend upgrading to Shopify Plus to unlock the true powers of your checkout page.

We have worked with multiple Basic, Shopify, and Advanced customers who upgraded to Shopify Plus. They not only recovered their subscription cost but generated extra revenue at checkout in the range of thousands.

It’s a business bet you have to take.

Why Use Extensions?
Why Not Simply Code?

Since we are in the “ post-checkout.liquid” era, custom code at checkout is not viable. The best way to customize is through Shopify Checkout UI Extensions. Checkout extensions are the modular method of creating checkout elements.

However, to use checkout extensions, you need an app. You must code your own app or use a ready app like Checkout Wiz to set up your extensions.

Checkout Wiz makes it easy to design and configure all types of extensions. Plus we are constantly updating as & when Shopify launches new extensions
