With Afterpay Day just around the corner, now’s the time to make sure your checkout is primed to capture every possible sale. Shoppers will be in spending mode, and small optimisations can be the difference between a good result and your best sales period yet.
At Checkout Components, we’ve seen brands consistently lift their Average Order Value (AOV) and conversion rate with a few targeted changes in the days leading up to big events. Here are three quick wins you can put in place right now.
Make it easy for customers to add more to their cart with well-timed upsell opportunities. Surface cross-sells, bundles, or limited-time offers with minimal friction. Our Upsell List component, powered by Shopify AI or your integrated product recommendation engine, is one of the most effective AOV drivers.
Shoppers act faster when they know an offer won’t last. Add a Call to Action or Image Banner at checkout to highlight your Afterpay Day deal and remind customers of the deadline. It’s a simple way to prompt action and capture those last-minute conversions.
Even during high-intent shopping events, reassurance matters. Use Trust Badges to reinforce key points like next-day dispatch, free returns, and local customer support. Reminding customers why they can buy with confidence helps reduce hesitation, and post-sale enquiries.
Small changes at checkout can deliver big results. If you’d like tailored recommendations for your store, book a 15-minute strategy call with our team, email alex@basestack.com.au and we’ll share ideas to help you maximise AOV and conversion this Afterpay Day.
