From Coastal Icons to Checkout Impact
Okanui has long been known for its effortless coastal style, combining comfort, heritage, and quality. With a loyal customer base and a strong brand identity, the team saw an opportunity to transform their checkout into a powerful driver of growth and a seamless extension of the brand experience.

With Checkout Components, they’ve added smart, flexible features that match the brand’s evolving campaigns and give their team the agility to test, learn, and optimise, all without calling on developers for every change.

"The impact on our bottom line was fast and obvious. It’s a no-brainer for any brand looking to optimise checkout and increase AOV."

Components That Evolve With the Campaign
What we love about Okanui’s use of Checkout Components is their ongoing innovation and willingness to experiment. The team continuously tests and updates components to keep the checkout experience dynamic, aligned with seasonal campaigns, and responsive to customer behaviour. Whether it's promoting Mother’s Day bundles, highlighting Kids Classics, or pushing Women’s Swim, Accessories or their top-performing Duffle Bags promotion, they adapt their checkout strategy to drive engagement and results.

They’ve also tested spending thresholds to encourage customers to unlock incentives, turning checkout into a high-performing campaign touchpoint.

Their current setup includes:

  • Shopify-Powered Large Upsell
    A visually prominent component, displayed once the free shipping threshold is met, showcasing popular products and new arrivals using Shopify AI recommendations. This intelligently suggests items based on shopper behaviour, helping increase AOV with highly relevant, high-intent add-ons.
  • Add-On Upsell List for Accessories
    A curated list that offers accessories like hats and bags as easy add-ons. This leverages impulse-buy behaviour right before conversion, encouraging customers to complete their look or top up their cart with essentials.
  • Free Shipping Threshold Upsell
    A dynamic component that displays how close a customer is to unlocking free shipping, nudging them to increase their cart value. This not only drives up AOV but improves conversion by removing the shipping cost barrier.
  • Free Hat Checkbox Upsell
    A simple, low-friction checkbox that lets eligible customers easily claim a free hat with purchase. It’s perfect for seasonal promos or cart-size incentives, and creates a memorable moment of delight at checkout.

These components don’t just look good, they’re on-brand, high-converting, and give Okanui the ability to iterate quickly, test performance, and optimise based on results. Together, they create a checkout experience that’s visually aligned with the brand and strategically tuned for growth.
