Should I Show Savings Amount at Checkout?
Showing savings amounts at checkout is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost conversion optimizations available. Visitors who see exactly how much they're saving feel rewarded for completing the purchase, which reduces second-guessing and increases checkout completion rates.
Savings Display Formats
- - "You save $24.50" (most impactful)
- - "15% off applied" (less tangible)
- - "Original: $163 | Your price: $138.55" (anchoring)
- - Both dollar and percentage ("Save $24.50 (15%)")
Placement in Checkout
- - Order summary sidebar (always visible)
- - Below subtotal line in order breakdown
- - Near the final "Place Order" button
- - In cart drawer before checkout
Growth Suite Savings Display
Growth Suite's Advanced Cart Drawer prominently displays the savings amount whenever a discount is active. The savings figure is shown alongside the cart total, making it impossible for the customer to miss the value they're receiving. This positive framing transforms the payment act from "spending money" to "claiming your savings."
Rule of 100 Application
For orders over $100, show the dollar savings amount ("You save $25") rather than the percentage ("15% off"). For orders under $100, show the percentage first ("15% off = $12 savings"). The "Rule of 100" holds that larger numbers are more impressive - so for high-value orders, the dollar amount usually feels more impactful than the percentage.
