Convert the shoppers you already have.
You're spending on traffic. But 70% of shoppers abandon before checkout. Cartylabs fixes the cart experience by removing friction, adding trust, and showing the right offer at the right moment.
Four stages. Four leaks. All fixable.
Most Shopify stores lose shoppers at each step between product page and checkout. Here's where, and how Cartylabs fixes it.
Six ways Cartylabs improves checkout conversion.
Remove pre-checkout friction
In-cart discount codes, saved addresses, and express checkout options (Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay) all reduce the steps between intent and purchase.
Spend threshold rewards
Show shoppers how close they are to free shipping or a free gift before checkout. The urgency of being "almost there" is one of the most effective pre-checkout nudges.
Social proof in the cart
Recent purchase notifications, review badges, and trust signals inside the cart drawer reduce anxiety at the point of commitment.
Exit-intent cart recovery
When a shopper moves to leave the cart, Cartylabs surfaces a targeted offer such as a small discount, a free gift, or a review to win them back before they go.
Streamlined checkout path
A clean, fast path from cart to checkout with no unnecessary pop-ups, redirects, or dead-end pages. Every extra click is a drop-off risk.
Mobile checkout optimisation
Over 70% of Shopify traffic is mobile. Cartylabs ensures the full pre-checkout experience, including the cart drawer, sticky bar, and upsells, is touch-friendly and fast on all devices.
What is pre-checkout optimisation on Shopify?
Pre-checkout optimisation refers to improvements made between the product page and the checkout, specifically in the cart. This includes reducing friction (fewer steps to reach checkout), increasing cart value (upsells and spend nudges), and building trust (social proof, clear shipping info).
Why do shoppers abandon before checkout?
The most common reasons: unexpected shipping cost, forced account creation, a slow or confusing cart experience, and lack of trust signals. Cartylabs addresses all of these within the cart drawer before the shopper reaches the checkout page.
Can Cartylabs optimise the checkout page itself?
On standard Shopify, the checkout page is controlled by Shopify and cannot be modified by apps. On Shopify Plus, Cartylabs can extend into the checkout. For all plans, Cartylabs optimises the pre-checkout experience in the cart.
How much does checkout optimisation improve conversion?
Cartylabs merchants typically see a 10–25% improvement in cart-to-checkout conversion within 30 days, primarily from friction reduction (Ajax cart, sticky bar) and spend nudges (free shipping bar).
Does this work on mobile?
Yes, and it's especially impactful. Over 70% of Shopify traffic is mobile, and the default mobile cart experience is particularly poor. Cartylabs's mobile-first cart drawer and sticky bar are designed for thumb navigation.
Do I need Shopify Plus?
No. All cart and pre-checkout features work on all Shopify plans. Shopify Plus unlocks additional checkout extensibility (custom fields, upsells on the checkout page itself), but the cart optimisation layer is available on every plan.
