One-page checkout & drag-and-drop checkout editor
Shopify’s new one-page checkout is all about simplicity. Customers no longer have to wade through multiple steps—this streamlined process keeps them focused and ready to hit “buy.” For Shopify Plus users, the drag-and-drop editor adds another layer of control, letting you customize your checkout flow with embedded apps, branding tweaks, and design elements that match your vibe.
Friction-free checkout isn’t just nice—it’s essential for reducing cart abandonment and boosting conversion rates. HRVST can help you design a checkout experience that feels effortless and stays true to your brand.
Build trust with Shop Promise
Shopify’s shop sign-in and Shop Promise features are about building trust from the start. Customers can sign in early for a smooth buying journey, and the Shop Promise badge guarantees delivery dates with Shopify covering costs if something goes wrong.
This kind of reassurance doesn’t just make customers feel secure—it builds loyalty, enhancing the customer experience without distracting from your brand.
AI-generated storefront content
Shopify’s AI writer is like having a 24/7 content creator on-call. Whether you need product descriptions, blog posts, or email copy, this tool can churn out polished, engaging content in seconds. It’s perfect for brands looking to scale fast without losing their edge.
Good content drives conversions, and with AI doing the heavy lifting, you can focus on strategy and growth while ensuring your brand voice stays unique and compelling.
Enhanced Search & Discovery app
Shopify’s enhanced Search & Discovery app helps customers find exactly what they’re looking for, fast. Real-time results and hyper-relevant recommendations mean no more aimless scrolling—just a direct path to the perfect product.
Better search functionality leads to better conversions, plain and simple. With fine-tuned search tools, you can improve functionality while reflecting your brand’s personality.
Expanding Sales Channels
Shopify’s expanded tools for omnichannel selling are a game-changer. From POS systems that integrate effortlessly with inventory to selling directly on YouTube, Shopify lets you meet customers wherever they are. The Shop App storefronts are now fully customizable, ensuring your brand stands out even in a mobile-first world.
Omnichannel strategies are key for modern ecommerce success, providing customers with a seamless shopping experience while boosting your brand visibility.
Going global with ease
Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app makes international selling effortless by localizing your storefront for different markets. Meanwhile, Shopify Markets Pro simplifies cross-border taxes, fraud protection, and restricted item management, so you can focus on growth without the usual stress of going global.
Global expansion is no longer just for big brands—scaling internationally is now accessible to businesses of all sizes, all while maintaining a strong and consistent brand identity.
