Shorter isn’t always better. Adding a step to checkout raised average order value by 3.9%.
Jollein already showed product recommendations on its product pages. They were relevant, but they barely moved order value: at that point customers are still deciding whether to buy what they’re looking at. In the cart the same recommendations worked better, but most customers skipped the cart and went straight to checkout.
With Contenzi the team tested a flow that sends every customer through the cart, and turned the cart into a place to find personalised add-ons based on what they viewed and what was already in their basket. The risk was obvious: an extra step could cost conversions. So the test measured both.

“We knew there was an opportunity to increase the value of each order, but adding another step to the customer journey felt counterintuitive. The test gave us the confidence to make the change based on data rather than assumptions.”
