PrettyDamnQuick (PDQ)

Brands spend millions getting shoppers to the store. And pennies on the 60 seconds where money actually changes hands. Checkout is the highest-leverage real estate you own. Most treat it like plumbing.

DTC brands lose 30-50% of shoppers at the final step. That number has barely moved in a decade. Every layer of commerce got optimized to death except the one where the dollar actually moves.

"PDQ unlocked incredible CRO wins with a material impact on our revenue per user and profitability." "Incredible CRO wins" is, frankly, our middle name. Well not legally you get the idea.

...and some reviews are short and sweet like this one!

Sunday shoppers: 77.9% CVR, $136 AOV. Tuesday: 76.2% CVR, $128 AOV. Same store + inventory. Different day, different person. Sunday is browse-with-intent. Tuesday is distracted and tight. One checkout for both leaves money on the table.

"Incredible product, just stocked up." 671 reviews. 4.5 stars. Sitting right next to the item in the cart. Your customer already trusts other customers more than your copy. So we put the reviews where the decision happens.

One shirt is $19.99. The 3-pack is $49.99. One tap to swap up, no going back to the product page. Bundle offers in checkout turn "I'll grab one" into "actually, give me three." Higher AOV without spending another cent on ads.

"Only 7 left." "Ships today if you order in 1h 47m." "28 sold in 2 hrs." People don't act because something's good. They act because it's about to be gone. Real-time scarcity and shipping-cutoff badges, right in the cart. Pressure, applied politely.

The best time to sell someone is right after they've already bought. Card's out, guard's down, dopamine's up. Post-purchase offers let you drop a one-click upsell after checkout. No re-entering payment. Add a timer and watch the "maybe later" turn into "fine, yes."

Your A/B tests aren't wrong. You're just averaging Tuesday-morning re-uppers with Saturday afternoon basket-builders. For example, 1 brand tested 3 free shipping thresholds. $200 won, but on weekends only. Weekdays hated it. That's why we built Time-of-Day Segmentation.

+1 billion checkouts in. Here's what it's taught us: >> Checkout is a trust moment, not a form >> Shipping is a huge lever in ecom >> Accuracy beats optimism >> AOV and CVR aren't enemies >> The best brands are always testing

18 features. One quarter. Here's what we shipped at @prettydamntweet in Q1, ranked by how badly your checkout needs it 🧵

A shopper finds a discount code. Types it in at checkout. It fails and the shopper leaves. That's a checkout problem, and it's completely fixable. New from PDQ: Discount Code Rejection Recovery. Turn failed codes into conversion opportunities instead of abandoned carts.

@navdeepsoni @MoskowitzAvi everybody using PDQ!

@MoskowitzAvi is it open to all on checkout page or conditional?

Shopper types "SAVE20." Doesn't work. Tries again. Caps lock. No caps. Opens Google. Finds a dead Reddit thread. Closes the tab. Gone. 46% of shoppers bail when a code fails. We just shipped the fix.

$270 billion in recoverable revenue is lost at checkout every year. @MoskowitzAvi is obsessed with saving as much of that as possible. How? By simulating retail. IRL requires minimal trust — you buy what you want, you walk out the door with it. Online shopping is completely different. In fact, there’s a reason Amazon succeeded; its online experience creates the certainty of an in-person shopping experience. The buyer knows exactly … - When they’ll get it - How they’ll get it - How much it’ll cost … all before they even place their order. Avi is saving DTC brands from leaky checkouts by giving their customers an IRL experience … online.

Your checkout sees one shopper. Ours understands: cart value, shipping zone, promo sensitivity, purchase history, device, and 1,600+ other signals. Then acts on all of them automatically. That's how you win checkout.
