Building better, beautiful countertops

CCS is a one-stop shop for concrete countertop solutions with its innovative Z Counterform system at the core. They provide customer-focused solutions to DIY hobbyists and professional contractors alike, allowing everyone to achieve amazing levels of detail in a wide range of profiles and textures on concrete pool coping. Their mission statement is to make concrete countertops simpler than ever before, and they continue to strive towards that end.

Optimizing the shopping experience

To stay ahead of the curve and increase AOV, they became the first batch of Shopify Plus users in September 2021. But before gaining access to Checkout Extensibility, a lot of manual coding was needed to customize the Shopify checkout page, which took time and effort. However, with AfterShip Personalization and Shopify Checkout Extensibility, CCS was able to provide personalized shopping experiences for its customers through tailored recommendations. The tool enabled them to upsell products, optimize the AOV of their store, and display banners with important information for customers to reduce operational costs.

1. Boost AOV by recommending necessities for DIY projects

CCS understands that acquiring the proper tools and materials is essential for a successful DIY project, so they use the "frequently bought together" feature. By leveraging this tool at checkout, stores can boost sales and increase their AOV by presenting customers with related products to complete their DIY projects.

AfterShip Personalization has helped to boost our overall AOV. This is a really nice app for upsells and cross-sells during checkout and it’s one of the few apps taking advantage of the new Shopify Checkout Extensibility—I highly recommend it.

2. Manage delivery expectations with customizable smart banners

Smart banners strategically display critical messages such as shipping times and order cancellation policies. Informing customers of the shipping lead time at checkout can better manage their expectations and reduce inquiries about shipping status. In addition, notifying customers that orders cannot be changed once they are placed can remind them to double-check the order information and minimize cancellations due to incorrect ordering. Not only did these lead to a better customer experience, but they also helped CCS save on operational costs.
