In brief

This guide covers help with cart, checkout, and payment completion, with recommendations limited to providers whose public information supports a base or office in New York City. A local address does not guarantee that the whole delivery team works there or that onsite sessions are included.

The New York options include Shopify delivery and broader conversion work. Ask each finalist to demonstrate the same payment, subscription, and fulfillment constraints your store has; proximity is useful for working sessions but cannot substitute for platform fit.

Entries are listed alphabetically by provider name, not ranked by quality.

Every specialist in this guide was assessed from public sources, linked in each entry. Ownership and other material connections are disclosed alongside the relevant recommendations. Confirm current scope and availability directly with the specialist. How this guide was built · Disclosure policy

Avex Designs

Agency

Best for
Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle ecommerce

Avex describes itself as a New York City-based agency with global remote talent. Its Growth-X service covers CRO within a broader Shopify Plus practice. It is relevant when checkout improvements connect to a larger commerce program. Confirm the local project participants, the scope of research and implementation, and current fees directly; a local base does not imply that every contributor is in New York.

Blackbelt Commerce

Agency

Best for
Shopify Plus and checkout audits

Blackbelt Commerce publishes its New York address at 115 Broadway. The Shopify Plus practice includes technical implementation, checkout extensions, and conversion work. It fits merchants that need development capability alongside checkout diagnosis. Ask for a current scope and quote rather than relying on an older advertised audit price, and confirm how releases and payment tests will be managed.

Charle Agency

Agency

Best for
Shopify CRO with local office access

Charle Agency runs Shopify and Shopify Plus CRO through its SiteLab program, with cart and checkout optimization named in the work. The published delivery model is a dedicated CRO team that audits, plans, builds, tests, and reports across the store, so a buyer should ask which parts of that process are included in the checkout brief. The company lists a New York office at 16 East 34th Street alongside London and Manchester locations.

PBJ Marketing

Agency

Best for
Checkout and lead-form work with local office access

PBJ Marketing publishes a New York CRO offer that includes checkout and lead-form work, and its about page lists an office at 175 Varick Street. It is a broader digital agency, so the proposal should name the people assigned to checkout research and implementation.

How to Choose Checkout Optimization Consultants

Start with the decision you need to make.

Separate people choosing not to buy from payment failures, shipping surprises, and operational errors. A design change cannot solve every cause of checkout loss.

Give candidates your platform, payment methods, subscription rules, top markets, and third-party apps. Ask for an example with the same constraints.

Agree on who builds and tests changes, how releases can be reversed, and what happens to refunds, fraud, support contacts, and order value as completion improves.

If you need to meet in New York City, identify the people, venue, frequency, and travel charges in the proposal. A published base or office and a commitment to attend your working sessions are different things.

Common Questions

Does this guide include providers who only serve New York City remotely?

No. The local selection requires a supported city base or office. Providers elsewhere remain available through the national guides. A locally based practitioner can still deliver work remotely; agree on the working arrangement directly.

How should I use this guide if I need an onsite team?

If you need to meet in New York City, identify the people, venue, frequency, and travel charges in the proposal. A published base or office and a commitment to attend your working sessions are different things.

What should the first conversation establish?

Explain the customer problem, the decisions the provider should own, the implementation resources already available, and how the result will be assessed. Ask for a comparable piece of work and a clear statement of what the engagement excludes.
