## How it works

AOV.AI sits on top of Shopify's native checkout — it does not modify your theme's code. Features are powered by:

* **Checkout UI Extensions** (Upsell Block, Discount List, Trust Badges, Testimonials, Image Carousel, Custom Banners, Custom Buttons, Cart Editor) — app blocks you add via the Theme Editor
* **Shopify Functions** (Payment Customization, Delivery Customization, Checkout Validations) — serverless rules that run at checkout evaluation time
