The checkout process is a crucial stage in the customer journey that can significantly impact your business's revenue and customer satisfaction. It is the final step before completing the purchase, and therefore, it provides a great opportunity to cross-sell last-minute items to increase the average order value (AOV) and improve your website's conversion rate.

By recommending relevant items in the checkout that the customer may have overlooked, you can increase the likelihood of additional purchases and boost the AOV. This can help your business to generate more revenue per customer and ultimately increase profitability.

Incorporating cross-selling and personalized recommendations into the checkout process can be achieved through the use of the checkout widget. By implementing this feature, you can optimize the checkout process, increase customer satisfaction, and ultimately drive more revenue for your business.
