Make the Checkout Button Prominent: Ensure the CTA (Call-to-Action) block and its "Checkout" button are highly visible. Use a solid, contrasting color and place it where it's easy for the customer to find.
Be Transparent with Pricing: Use the Show Retail Price toggle in the Line Items block to display a strikethrough retail price alongside the discounted price. This highlights the savings and reinforces the value of the purchase.
Keep It Clean and Focused: Don't clutter the cart page. Use a simplified Toolbar or even hide it entirely to remove any distractions that might pull the customer away from completing their purchase. The goal is to get them to checkout.
Simplify the Discount Process: Make the Discount block easy to find. Ensure the input field and "Apply" button are clearly labeled so customers can quickly enter their codes without frustration.
Summarize Everything: While not a separate block, a subtotal and grand total should be clearly displayed. Your customer should be able to see the full cost, including any discounts, taxes, or shipping fees, before they proceed to checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Can I add or remove products from the cart page?
Yes, the Line Items block allows customers to review and adjust the quantity of products or remove them entirely before checkout.
2.Where do I create the actual discount codes?
You create and manage all of your discount codes directly within your Shopify store's admin, under the "Discounts" tab. The mobile app's Discount block simply provides the input field for customers to use these codes.
3.How do I change the text on the Checkout button?
The text for the main CTA Button is typically a standard label like "Checkout." For custom changes, you would typically manage this in a global theme or settings area of your app builder.
4.Why would I want to hide the toolbar on the cart page?
Hiding the toolbar reduces distractions and keeps the customer focused on completing their purchase. By removing extra navigation icons, you minimize the chances of a customer navigating away from the checkout funnel.
Test a Discount Code: Create a sample discount code in your Shopify admin. Then, add a product to your cart in the app and test the Discount block to ensure the code is applied correctly.
Review Mobile Responsiveness: Add a few products with long titles to your cart in the app's preview mode. Check to see how the titles look on different screen sizes and adjust the Title Length in the Line Items block to prevent titles from looking disorganized.
Perform a Test Checkout: Complete a full test purchase from adding a product to your cart to checkout. Make sure every step feels smooth and clear to help you identify any potential friction points.
