# How to set up a new checkout

Add a set of delivery methods for any shoppers or segments

April 17, 2024

**Setting up a new checkout in PDQ is easy.**

In this new update, a checkout consists of multiple delivery methods, it’s a set of delivery methods that’s displayed in specific scenarios, with segmentation set by you.

Once you have more than one checkout, you can A/B test them.

1. In the left hand menu, select **Delivery methods**  
2. Under Promise tools, click **Checkout**  
3. Under any existing checkouts click **Add checkout**  
4. Once you’ve added a checkout, you can add all the delivery methods you’d like displayed in that version of your checkout

## Adding a new checkout delivery method

**Setting up a segment for your checkout**

You can also choose to only show your checkout to a specific segment.

For example, you can set a checkout (and its delivery methods) to only be displayed to your store’s first time shoppers.

To segment your checkout:

1. Select the checkout you’d like to show to a specific segment  
2. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner  
3. Pick **Add segment**  
4. Choose a segment  
5. To only show a checkout to first time shoppers, select **Customer order count** and pick **is equals to** and then in the field enter **0**  
6. Click the **Add** button  
7. That’s it, you’ve added a segment to this checkout

## Setting up a segment

**Some notes:**

**You need a default checkout to fall back on**  
You need to have **one and only one live checkout method group** which has no segments at all. The importance of what we call a **Default Checkout** is that if a customer doesn’t apply to any of the segmented checkouts, they’ll see this one.

For example, if a checkout has a segment set for \[State is NY\], and is live, only customers who are in NY will see this checkout and all other customers will see the **Default checkout**.

**Multiple segments in a checkout**  
You can have more than one segment apply to a checkout, but it’ll automatically be set to “this segment OR this segment” and will be shown if either one’s rules apply.

**Checkouts can’t clash**  
You can’t set a checkout as **live** if any of its segments overlap exactly with a segment in another live checkout. This includes having two live checkouts that have no segments at all.

**That’s it!**  
Now that you have your checkout set up, set up another with different prices, messaging, and options and A/B test the two to see which one performs best.
