Code Black Belt October Updates: BFCM shopping tips, Shopify Sidekick integrations, and smarter setup wizards

With just over a month until Black Friday and Cyber Monday (BFCM), it’s time to get your store ready. Go beyond great offers: help shoppers discover more products and make them easier to buy.

Give shoppers a reason to add something extra with relevant recommendations on product pages and now directly on the cart page, thanks to Frequently Bought Together. Recommendations can also appear at checkout for stores with this Shopify feature enabled, creating more opportunities to encourage bigger baskets before payment.

Make your deals easier to shop, too. Customers can choose variants and quantities and add items from collections, search results or your homepage without opening each product page, thanks to Add To Cart Anywhere.

Get everything in place now, test the shopping experience and be ready to welcome your BFCM shoppers!

Our apps now connect with Shopify Sidekick

Our apps now connect with shopify sidekick

Currency Converter Plus, Add To Cart Anywhere, and Keep & Share Your Cart now integrate with Shopify Sidekick. Once enabled, you can ask questions in natural language and get information about your apps directly from your Shopify admin, without opening each application.

Check available currencies, price rounding, and translations; review add-to-cart button placement and performance; or explore cart-sharing trends, link clicks, and available sharing methods. It’s a convenient way to understand your current setup and how shoppers interact with your apps.

When you’re ready to make an adjustment, Sidekick can link you to the relevant app settings, helping you go straight from finding answers to making changes.

Smarter setup wizard for Currency Converter Plus and Add To Cart Anywhere

Getting started with Currency Converter Plus and Add To Cart Anywhere is now easier and more visual! We've improved both apps' installation wizard with preconfigured options and live previews, helping you customize key elements of your storefront right from the beginning. 

With Currency Converter Plus, you can preview how your currency menu and prices will appear while configuring flags, currency codes, and currency selection options. Add To Cart Anywhere now offers four ready-made styles to choose from, along with a live preview where you can customize your button's appearance, colors, and text. 

These improvements make the intuitive, allowing you to explore different configurations and see the results instantly. And if you want to make further adjustments later, you can always access additional customization options in each app's Visual styles section.

Meet the app: SC Easy Redirects

SC Easy Redirects helps you keep shoppers and search engines on track by fixing broken links before they cost you traffic and sales. It finds 404 errors, lets you set up 301 redirects in a few clicks, and can even redirect pages that are still live, which Shopify can’t do natively. It’s handy after a busy sale season, when sold-out products and expired deal pages can leave visitors at a dead end.

With SC Easy Redirects, you can:

  • Track 404 errors automatically and fix broken links before they hurt your SEO and rankings.
  • Create 301 redirects one by one or upload them in bulk via CSV for site migrations and URL updates.
  • Use live redirects to send traffic from active pages to new, more relevant ones.
  • Automate redirects with patterns, and keep large rule sets organized with groups and filters.
  • Manage subdomain redirects, all from within your Shopify admin.
