Shopify Checkout Extensions are the official 2026 API for customising the Shopify checkout page. They replace the legacy Script Editor (deprecated August 2025) and allow developers to add UI components — product offers, trust badges, custom fields, upsell blocks — directly inside Shopify checkout using React-based extension points. ### Are Shopify Scripts Deprecated in 2026? Yes. Shopify Scripts were deprecated on August 28, 2025. All stores relying on scripts for checkout customisation — discounts, shipping rules, payment options — must migrate to Shopify Functions and Checkout Extensions by that date or lose functionality. ### Checkout Extensions vs Shopify Functions: What's the Difference? They work together. Checkout Extensions control what the customer sees (UI components on the checkout page). Shopify Functions control business logic (discount calculation, payment filtering, product validation) that runs server-side on Shopify's infrastructure. Most advanced customisations need both. ### Can I Add Upsells to the Shopify Checkout Page in 2026? Yes, through Checkout Extensions. You can add product offer blocks, volume discount prompts, and cross-sell widgets directly inside the checkout — before the customer places their order. This is different from post-purchase upsells (which appear after checkout). Both are supported via Shopify's extension APIs. ### Do Checkout Extensions Slow Down Shopify Checkout? No — when built correctly. Extensions run in a sandboxed environment on Shopify's infrastructure, not on your storefront server. Shopify enforces strict performance budgets for certified apps. Poorly built custom extensions can add latency, which is why using a certified app rather than custom code is recommended for most stores. ### Which Shopify Plan Do I Need for Checkout Extensions? Checkout Extensions are available on Shopify (previously Basic) and above. Some advanced extension points (like payment customisation and delivery customisation) require Shopify Plus. Standard product offer blocks and UI extensions are available on all paid plans. --- ## Article: Shopify Upsell Strategies That Actually Work in 2026 **URL**: https://cognifysuite.com/blog/shopify-upsell-strategies **Published**: 2026-02-01 **Last modified**: 2026-02-27 **Author**: Cognify Growth Team ### What Is Upselling vs Cross-Selling on Shopify? Upselling encourages a customer to buy a higher-tier or premium version of a product they're considering (e.g. "upgrade to the Pro kit"). Cross-selling recommends complementary products alongside the current selection (e.g. "customers also buy a case with this phone"). Both increase AOV — use upselling on high-margin flagship products and cross-selling for accessories and bundles. ### The 7 Upsell Strategies Ranked by Conversion Rate **1. Pre-Cart Upsell (Product Page)** — 3–7% conversion Show an upgrade or bundle option before the customer adds to cart. Works well for products with clear premium versions. Keep it to one option — multiple choices create decision paralysis. **2. Cart Drawer Cross-sell** — 5–12% conversion Recommend complementary products in the cart drawer or cart page. "Frequently bought together" sections here are highly visible. Limit to 2–3 recommendations. Show products priced below 30% of the current cart total for maximum acceptance. **3. Free Shipping Motivator** — 10–18% conversion Show "You're $X away from free shipping!" with relevant product suggestions. Set your threshold 20–30% above your current AOV. One of the highest-converting AOV levers available with zero abandonment risk. **4. Checkout Extension Upsell** — 6–15% conversion Add a product offer block directly inside Shopify checkout using Checkout Extensions. Appears before the customer confirms payment — no cart abandonment risk, native checkout UX. One product only, low price point (under $25), must complement what's in the cart. **5. One-Click Post-Purchase Offer** — 10–25% conversion Show a product offer immediately after order confirmation. Customer clicks one button — no re-entering payment info. Highest-ROI channel because there's zero abandonment risk. Offer 10–15% exclusive discount. Frame as "Because you just ordered X, we'd like to offer you Y at 15% off — just for this moment." **6. Thank You Page Cross-sell** — 3–8% conversion Add product recommendations, "share and get 10% off" prompts, or subscription upgrade offers. Higher-price offers work better here than at the one-click post-purchase stage. **7. Post-Purchase Email Upsell** — 2–5% conversion A "You might also love" email sent 3–7 days after purchase. Lower take-rate but reaches customers who didn't accept at checkout. Segment by product category using order data. ### AI vs Rule-Based Upsells: Take Rate Benchmarks Manual, rule-based upsells typically achieve 5–10% take rates. AI-powered personalised upsells achieve 10–20%. The difference is relevance — AI matches the offer to the specific cart and customer, while rule-based systems show the same product to everyone. ### How Much Revenue Can Upsells Add? A store doing 500 orders/month with a $65 AOV, running AI upsells with a 12% take rate and $18 average upsell value, adds approximately $1,080/month — $12,960/year — without acquiring a single new customer. ### FAQ: Shopify Upsell Strategies **When is the best time to show an upsell on Shopify?** Four high-converting moments: (1) product page before adding to cart, (2) in the cart after adding, (3) in checkout as a native extension block, (4) post-purchase after order confirmation. Post-purchase has zero cart abandonment risk and typically the highest take-rate. **Should I offer a discount on Shopify upsells?** For post-purchase upsells: yes — a 10–20% exclusive discount significantly lifts acceptance. For in-checkout upsells: a discount helps but is less critical. For cart upsells: consider emphasising value over pure price reduction. **How do I choose which products to upsell?** Start with order data. Look for product pairs appearing together in more than 15% of orders — those are natural cross-sell candidates. For upsells, look for premium versions of bestsellers with higher margins. AI apps like Cognify Suite automate this analysis. --- ## Article: How to Increase AOV on Shopify **URL**: https://cognifysuite.com/blog/how-to-increase-aov Detailed guide on proven methods to increase Average Order Value on Shopify: product bundling, free shipping thresholds, upsell/cross-sell campaigns, volume discounts, and AI-powered personalised recommendations.
