Shopify has recently acquired Checkout Blocks, a move that will benefit Shopify Plus merchants by enabling them to easily customise their checkout process without any coding. This enhancement aims to improve the overall customer experience and has the potential to increase sales for these merchants.
Since September 2022, Shopify has offered checkout blocks. This powerful tool empowers merchants to personalise their checkout experience with a wide range of features. Enhancements include AI recommendations, custom content options like banners, images, and headlines, as well as the ability to add custom fields for gift messages or delivery notes. Additionally, merchants can offer discounts, validate email addresses, and create personalised order status and thank-you pages. The possibilities are endless!
