Boost
conversion

From fast and frictionless storefronts to a more streamlined checkout, we’re making it easier to seize every sale and convert customers.

Lightning-fast page loads, everywhere

No matter where your customers are shopping, our newly expanded global infrastructure ensures they get an incredibly fast experience by efficiently routing traffic and rendering sites as close to their locations as possible.

With 270 points of presence around the world and additional locations being continually deployed, businesses are seeing their sites respond twice as fast.

One-page checkout

The checkout you know and trust is getting a major overhaul. This year, we’re rolling out an all-new, one-page checkout. Inspired by Shop Pay’s proven conversion, it’s faster, higher-converting, and exactly what your customers expect.

  • Fewer fields to enter make it faster for customers to complete their purchase.
  • Fewer page loads mean less friction for customers, which leads to higher conversion.

Drag-and-drop checkout editor

Easily edit the look of your checkout with the new checkout editor, which seamlessly integrates with Shop Pay for a consistent brand and buyer experience. Exclusive to Shopify Plus.

  • Add your brand’s logo, change the background color or image, and update the font of your checkout.
  • Install checkout apps that integrate with the editor to add more functionality to your checkout experience.

Build trust with Shop Promise

Communicate reliable, fast delivery by installing the Shop channel and adding the Shop Promise badge and delivery dates to your store.

  • Display smart delivery dates predicted by Shopify that are backed by a limited guarantee for your customers if they’re missed.
  • Help customers check out with confidence and increase conversion by up to 25%.

Signed-in shopping with Shop

Identify and sign in high-intent Shop users before they reach checkout with their Shop credentials, including saved passkeys. Let customers speed safely through a one-click checkout using Shop Pay, lowering bounce rates and increasing conversion.

AI-generated storefront content

  • Use Shopify Magic to beat writer’s block and automatically create product descriptions.
  • Input keywords or features and our system generates a description.
  • Produce compelling, tone-specific descriptions that convert.

Better built-in search and recommendations

  • Improved search relevance ensures popular products are highlighted, and misspellings still return the right result to better match the customer’s intent.
  • Typeahead search suggestions help buyers find what they’re looking for faster.
  • Powered by data across Shopify, now product recommendations offer suggestions without any historical purchase data required.
