What are Shopify Checkout UI Extensions?
Shopify Extensions Are Like LEGO Pieces for Your Store
Imagine your Shopify storeās checkout as a LEGO baseplate. A strong and yet versatile foundation.
Shopifyās UI Extensions are the LEGO blocks you can use to create endless possibilities.
You can customize your storeās 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:Ā
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.Ā
What Business Metrics Do Checkout Extensions Impact?
Business Metrics
Conversion Rate
Checkout Conversion Rate
Average Order Value (AOV)
Lagging Metrics
Retention
Customer Lifetime ValueĀ
Loyalty
Overall, checkout extensions play a significant role in conversion rate optimization (CRO).Ā
Revenue Impact of Conversion RateĀ
We often underestimate the significant impact a small increase in conversion rate can have. Letās 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 processāof 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.
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 āUI extensionsā, transmit have capabilities to transmit information and perform some action.
What do these pieces translate to, on Ā Shopify?

Buttons

Now imagine thisā you combine an 'imageā LEGO block with a 'text' LEGO block to create a ātrust badgeā LEGO piece for your checkout.Ā
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.Ā
Itās a business bet you have to take.Ā
Why Use Extensions? Why Not Simply Code?
Since we are in the ā post-checkout.liquidāĀ era, custom code at checkout is not viable. Checkout extensions are the modular method of creating checkout elements.Ā
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.Ā
Checkout Wiz makes it easy to design and configure all types of extensions. Plus we are constantly updating as & when Shopify launches new extensions
