Overview

The "In-Checkout Offer" allows for an additional offer to be shown directly on the Shopify Checkout page during the checkout process. It can also be shown on the Shop app checkout for qualifying merchants. Using the checkout page as an opportunity to upsell or cross-sell a complementary product can increase your store's average order value significantly!

After this offer type has been added to an upsell funnel, you can add it to your Shopify Checkout and choose the location you'd like it shown using Shopify's "Checkout Editor" available through the new checkout extensibility feature.

This offer type is available for Shopify Plus merchants only. Checkout extensibility is not compatible with checkout.liquid.

Adding an In-Checkout Offer

To add an In-Checkout Offer to an upsell funnel, follow the quick and easy steps below:

1. From the "Funnels" section, open an upsell funnel (1) or create a new one (2):

2. On the funnel edit screen, locate the "In checkout" offer section and click the "+ Add Upsell Offer" button:

3. Choose either "Create new offer" (1) to create a new in-checkout offer or "Copy an existing offer" (2) to copy an in-checkout offer you've already created in a different funnel. Click the "Continue" button:

4. Select the product or variant from the "Add Product" popup and click the "Add" button:

5. The in-checkout offer will be added to the funnel and will be ready for editing:

The Offer Editor

The Offer Editor is where you make edits to the In-Checkout Offer being presented to your customers.

To access the editor for the in-checkout offer, either click directly on the offer card (1) or on the "Edit Offer" button (2):

Within the Buy Box section of the editor, you can:

  • Enable the Star Rating and Star Rating Text elements (1)

  • Select Product Variant(s) to use for the offer (2)

  • Set the offer product's Discount option (3):
    None - No discount will be set or displayed for the offer product.
    Percentage - Set a % based discount that applies to this offer only.
    Fixed amount - Set a $ based discount that applies to this offer only.
    Compare at price - Show the product's "Compare at price" as the discount. This option will pull in and display your product's compare at price set in Shopify admin.

    📝To use percentage or fixed amount discount types, click the "permissions" link to provide OCU with the needed permissions:

    An optional "Savings Label" (recommended) can be enabled as well to make the savings information even more prevalent!


    If percentage or fixed amount options are used, a Discount Title field will appear:


    Once the In-Checkout offer has been accepted and added to cart, the discount title will appear in the Order Summary section:

  • Enable/disable the Quantity Selector (4)

  • Enable/disable an Offer Description (5)

  • Enable/disable the "Hide offer..." setting (6), which prevents the offer from showing at checkout if the customer has already added it.

To edit the text copy for Offer Title, Product Title, Add button and Description simply click on a particular text element in the editor and edit as needed:

Viewing Stats on the Funnel details page

Shopify Plus merchant have an ability to view In-Checkout offer stats on the Funnel details page (1) and the Funnels List (2). Stats for Online Store and Shop sales channels are displayed separately:

Views

The number of times the offer was shown and the checkout was completed.

Conversion

Revenue

📝Views for In-Checkout offers are only counted for completed checkouts. As with pre-purchase offers, abandoned checkouts are not counted towards In-Checkout views.

Important Notes

  1. The In-Checkout offer won’t be shown for customers if:

    1. OCU isn't added on the Shopify "Checkout Editor" page.

    2. On a "Draft Order" Checkout, like one that is used if an OCU Pre-purchase offer with a discount is added by the customer.

    3. The OCU app is disabled.

    4. The Funnel with an In-Checkout offer is not published.

  2. Shopify Plus Merchant can duplicate one In-checkout offer by adding the OCU app several times using the Shopify "Checkout Editor". All of the offers can be shown to customers, but once the customer accepts one of the duplicates of this In-checkout offer, all other will disappears from the Checkout page.

  3. There's no ability to use a "subscription only" product as In-Checkout offer.

  4. On multi-currency checkouts, the offer will be shown in the default store currency, but if accepted it will be shown in the buyer's currency.

  5. For Percentage and Fixed amount discount types:
    a. Upon creating your first discount for an In-Checkout offer, an OCU Discount rule will appear in your Shopify admin panel.

    b. Deleting discounts manually in Shopify's admin may affect In-Checkout offer performance as the discount will not work until the corresponding offer is enabled or disabled.
    c. Avoid creating duplicate products with identical options for a single order. If duplicates exist, the discount will be divided and not applied to each product individually.
    d. If the same product as an In-Checkout offer is already in the customer's cart, the discount will not be shown.

FAQS

Will the In-Checkout offer be compatible with Shopify's one-page checkout?

Absolutely! The one-page checkout will function just the same. You don't need to take any action when switching from the three-page checkout to the one-page checkout. If you happen to experience any issues, please try removing the OCU In-Checkout app block in your checkout editor and then re-add it by following the steps in this help article.

Is it possible to preview my In-Checkout offer on the actual checkout page?


Yes! You have the option to preview the offer on your Shopify Checkout page by creating an alternate checkout to test it out. To do this, simply navigate to your Shopify checkout settings and duplicate your live checkout profile. Once you've done that, you can add the app block to your duplicate checkout for testing purposes.
