What's new

Create Klaviyo email blocks one at a time, for any link: from Settings → Klaviyo, or from the Klaviyo row in a link's Extensions. There are three types:

• Button: a checkout button styled like your Klaviyo buttons
• Reorder banner: shown only to customers who have ordered before
• Offer (new): a card with the link's products, prices, discounts, free gifts and free shipping, and a checkout button

Blocks follow their link. Change a link's path and its blocks are updated in Klaviyo; save the link and Offer blocks show its latest products and prices.

The Countdown block can now count down to the moment your link ends, set under Schedule. Every customer sees the same deadline, which suits a sale with a real end date. Choose it under Count down to in the block's settings. Per-customer minutes still work as before.

When a product has a compare-at price and your link discounts it, the popup now shows one crossed-out price, not two. The regular price is crossed out and the badge shows exactly what your link gives, so it matches what your callout promises. Products your link doesn't discount still show their compare-at price as before. The popup's subtotal now matches checkout.

Checkout Links now has an MCP server, so AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code can work with your links. Ask in plain language to create a link, change its products, discounts, popup or schedule, or make a batch of links at once. A connection can be read-only, and your products are never changed.

The MCP server is in early access. Open Settings → MCP server, and if it isn't switched on for your store yet, contact us and we'll turn it on.

Add urgency to an offer with the Countdown block. Write your message as you would in a Callout and put {{ timer }} where the time should go. Set how many minutes each customer gets; the timer keeps running if they reload the page, and when it reaches zero they're taken to your store.

Checkout Links now appears in the Create discount menu on Shopify's Discounts page. Choosing it opens a new link, where you set the products and discounts together.

A general usage limit can now be any number: "this link works 50 times" instead of only once. Set it under Number of uses.

You can also turn on both limits at once, for example 50 uses in total and one per customer. Existing links keep working exactly as before.

Help is now in the app's menu. It gathers the help center, the latest updates and a way to reach us in one place. Every Contact us button now opens a short form that emails us directly, and we usually reply within one business day.

Shopify Plus stores also get a Connect on Slack button, on the dashboard and the Help page, to talk to us in a shared Slack channel.

The dashboard now shows the three links you changed most recently, with their clicks, orders and sales, so you can get back to what you were working on in one click.

Shopify's Sidekick can now check a link for you. Ask it why a link isn't selling and it names the cause: a product that's a draft, archived or sold out, a product missing from the Checkout Links sales channel, a discount code that has expired or hit its limit, or a Checkout Links discount switched off in Shopify. When the fix is making products available, Sidekick offers a button that does it once you confirm.

Sidekick can also answer questions about Checkout Links from the help center.

Products in the popup's cart now appear in the order you added them to the link. Free gifts still come first, and products a customer adds in the popup follow your own.

The popup's Upsells block has a new Display setting: keep the classic list, or switch to Grid to show products as image-first cards — two per row by default, or three via the Columns setting. Prices, discount badges, and variant pickers stay on every card, with the Add button anchored to the bottom so rows always line up.

Also new: with Keep visible on, products now stay in the block after being added — the Add button turns into a quantity picker, so customers can adjust amounts (or tap the number and type) without leaving the popup.

The new Checkout Links Button block lets you assemble a landing page right in the Shopify theme editor and use Checkout Links as the offer engine. Add the button to any page, point it at one of your checkout links, and clicking it opens that offer as a popup over your page — products, discounts, progress bar and all — so customers never leave. Links without a popup go straight to checkout. Style the button to match your page (text, colors, width, padding, corner radius).

The Cart items block has a new Slots display mode: instead of a list, your cart renders as a grid of numbered slots that fill as customers add products — ideal for build-your-own bundles, sample boxes, and pick-any-N offers. The number of slots follows your cart's max quantity, and pairing Slots with an Upsells block (with “Keep visible” turned on) lets customers keep adding until the box is full.

The Progress bar block is available again in the popup editor. Add a cart-aware bar that shows customers how close they are to your next reward — free shipping, a gift, a discount — and watch it fill in real time as they add items. It reads straight from your link's tiered promotions, so there's nothing extra to configure.

Connect Klaviyo and Checkout Links now drops three ready-to-use email blocks straight into your Klaviyo content library — each pre-loaded with your store's personalized checkout link. Drag one into any flow or campaign; no more copy-pasting links.

The three blocks:

• Abandoned Cart CTA — sends shoppers back to their cart in one click
• Reorder CTA — one-click replenishment for repeat buyers
• Reorder Banner — a ready-styled banner for your reorder flows

They install automatically on connect (and match your email brand color).

Every customer now has a private Checkout Links shortcode. Drop it into any link's ?c= parameter and the checkout is built for that exact customer — their cart pre-filled (rebuild their last order, recover their abandoned checkout, discounts and all) and their details ready to go — without ever exposing the real customer ID.

Use it anywhere you send links: Shopify Flow, email, SMS, your own automations. It also syncs to Klaviyo automatically — every profile gets a checkout_links_shortcode property you can use in your flows as {{ person.checkout_links_shortcode }}.

New customers get a shortcode automatically; connect Klaviyo and existing profiles backfill on their own.

A new Automations page in the admin with 14 curated Shopify Flow templates. Each one sends a dynamic Checkout Link at the right moment — straight to checkout or a pre-checkout page with recommendations and personalization, with tiered discounts baked in.

Useful for:

• Abandonment recovery — recover abandoned checkout, wishlisted item back in stock / price drop / low stock
• Retention — 30-day reorder, win-back 90 days, lapsed subscriber, welcome new customers, send link after form submission
• VIP & gifting — reward VIP customers, VIP gift drop, influencer gift

Each card has a View flow preview of the full step list and a one-click Add flow download — drop the .flow file into Shopify Flow, configure the email, and you're live.

Includes partner-app templates for Swym (wishlist back-in-stock, price drop, low stock) and Stoq (back-in-stock alerts).

When a customer opens the variant picker on a pre-checkout page, any out-of-stock variant is now greyed out and labelled Out of stock instead of looking selectable. Customers can no longer pick a variant that won't ship — they pick an available one or move on.

Variants with Continue selling when out of stock enabled stay selectable, matching whatever's configured in Shopify admin.

Find a link config you like — discount stack, pre-checkout page, UTMs, the works — and save it as a template. New links start from the template instead of a blank slate.

Templates live under their own Templates tab. They're not publicly routable, and Flow actions filter them out of link pickers — only real links show up there.

A new Use Dynamic Link action lets you take an existing Dynamic Link and overlay URL params from the Flow's trigger context — variant ID, order line items, checkout token, anything Flow exposes. The link's content changes per fire without creating a new link each time.

Useful for:

• Back in stock — li= from the restocked variant, so the customer lands with that item already in cart.
• Reorder reminders — li= from the customer's previous order, 30 days post-fulfillment.
• Abandoned cart recovery — the checkout's line items carried straight back into a branded pre-checkout page.

Pairs naturally with Get customers for segment-wide sends, or runs solo on per-order Flows like reorder and abandoned cart. Composes with the Send Checkout Link action shipped in April.

A new Get customers action lets any Shopify Flow target a whole audience instead of a single customer. Pick a segment, a customer tag, or write a custom Shopify customer query — the action snapshots the matching customers and feeds them into the rest of your Flow, one branch per customer.

Useful for:

• Back-in-stock fan-out — variant restocked → Get customers tagged for that variant → Send Checkout Link. Replaces dedicated BIS apps.
• Win-back campaigns — inactive 90d segment → Send Checkout Link with a recovery offer.
• VIP / launch broadcasts — tag-based fan-out to a curated list without leaving Shopify.

Three input modes: Segment, Tag, Custom query. Each execution gets a fresh snapshot, so the audience reflects the moment the Flow fires.

Each link can now stamp custom tags on the orders that come through it. Toggle "Tag order" on, type the tags you want (e.g. vip, wholesale, influencer-anna), and every checkout from that link writes those tags onto the resulting Shopify order automatically.

Useful for:

• Shopify Flow triggers — fire flows only on orders from specific link templates
• Klaviyo segmentation — sync tagged orders into customer segments without manual rules
• Accounting / fulfilment — separate B2B vs DTC, gift orders, influencer orders, etc.
• Reporting — slice your orders by campaign, source, or tier without parsing UTM strings

Same link always produces the same tags. Different links can have different tags. Existing order tags are preserved.

The quantity picker on pre-checkout pages now supports keyboard input. Click the number, type the quantity you want, and hit enter — no more tapping the +/- buttons twenty times.

Especially useful for high-quantity orders, B2B / wholesale carts, and any merchant whose customers buy in bulk. Plays nicely with the existing per-product max quantity rules.

Pre-checkout pages can now reference customer data with Liquid-style variables like {{ customer.first_name }} and {{ customer.email }}. Drop them into any text or callout block and they resolve at render time when the customer is known (Customer Account auth or a pre-tagged link).

Useful for:

• "Hey {{ customer.first_name }}, here's your gift bag"
• Personalized thank-you blocks after retail visits
• Scaling 1:1 messaging without bespoke pages per customer

Falls back gracefully when the customer isn't known — variables resolve to an empty string, no broken text shown.

Pre-checkout product blocks now have a third source: Recommended products. Instead of picking specific products or a collection, let Shopify's recommendation engine fill the block based on what's already in the customer's cart.

Useful for:

• Cross-sells on a single-product checkout link
• Filling out a thin cart without manually curating
• "You might also like" sections that adapt per customer

Set the intent (Related or Complementary), a max product count, and an optional flat discount that applies to whatever Shopify returns. Cart items are automatically excluded so customers never see what they already have.

The new Create Link tile turns any Shopify POS cart into a checkout link with one tap. Add products, add a customer, hit the tile — Checkout Links generates the link with a QR code, optionally emails it via your branded Klaviyo flow, and pre-fills the customer's address at checkout.

Useful for:

• Capturing in-store interest when a customer wants to think about it
• Sending complete carts (with selling plans, deposits, subscriptions) to customers who can't complete in POS
• Combining retail + ecom into one tracked link with full attribution

Selling plan picker built in — solves the long-standing POS gap where subscriptions and Downpay-style deposits can't be selected. Staff name and store location auto-tag the link's UTMs.

A new Shopify Flow action lets you send branded checkout link emails to your customers from any Flow trigger — customer joined a segment, abandoned cart, hit a milestone, birthday, anything Flow supports.

Connect Klaviyo with one click and we automatically set up the email template and flow in your Klaviyo account. Customize your logo and brand color from the Checkout Links settings.

Each link can be set to single-use per recipient, so the email recipient is the only one who can redeem it.

Build pre-checkout pages from a template instead of starting from scratch. Two templates ready to use:

• Influencer Gift Form — collect creator details and send a personalized checkout link with their gift bag. Built for merchants running gifting campaigns.
• AI Listicle — generate a full article-style pre-checkout page with AI-written headlines and descriptions. Just pick a topic and tone.

Both templates are configured with one click and customizable from there.

Background work to keep Checkout Links fast and reliable:

• Discount functions rewritten for speed — your discounts now apply faster at checkout
• End-to-end signed discount config — protects against tampering with discount payloads
• Multi-currency threshold fix — discounts now apply correctly when customers shop in non-store currencies

No action required. These are infrastructure improvements that just work.

Scheduled link expiry now fires on the exact second you set, on every Shopify plan.

Build custom pre-checkout pages with a drag-and-drop block editor. 11 block types including products, cart summary, media, text, and more. No code required.

Checkout links now support B2B company pricing. Enable it in the link editor and B2B customers will authenticate and see their negotiated prices at checkout.

Help articles are now available directly inside the app. Click any info icon to open a relevant article, or start a live chat.

Discount badges on pre-checkout pages now calculate savings from the product's compare-at price instead of the regular price. Customers see accurate "Save X%" labels that match what Shopify shows on your storefront.

Explore real checkout link examples for bundles, discounts, pre-checkout upsells, and more. Each demo shows a different use case so you can see exactly what Checkout Links can do before building your own.

Free gifts with multiple variants now show a variant picker in the pre-checkout modal. Customers can choose their preferred size, color, or option before adding the gift to their cart — no more default-variant-only gifts.

The Checkout Links admin app now loads significantly faster. We optimized the dashboard's initial page load for a snappier experience when managing your links.

You can now set minimum quantity limits on pre-checkout line items. When a product has a minimum quantity, customers must add at least that many before proceeding to checkout — perfect for wholesale or bundle-style links.

On checkout link pages with optional products (like bundles), the "Continue to checkout" button is now disabled and visually greyed out until a customer adds at least one product. This prevents customers from accidentally proceeding to checkout with an empty cart.

Pricing plans are now powered by Mantle for a smoother billing experience — clearer plan details, easier upgrades, and better subscription management.

Migrated to faster, more reliable infrastructure for improved load times and stability across all link types.

Free gifts now support multiple variants — let customers pick their preferred size, color, or option when claiming a gift.

Lock the cart to prevent customers from changing pre-filled products, while keeping upsells from the product grid open for additions.

Group product variants together and optionally show a variant picker on your links — customers can choose size, color, or other options before adding to cart.

Append any custom parameters to your links for more granular tracking and integration with apps like Locksmith, UTM tools, and more.
