A LinkedIn post from Rokt highlights research on consumer behavior during online checkout, referencing an independent qualitative study conducted by a top-10 U.S. retailer’s internal UX team. The post suggests there is a notable gap between the offers advertisers present and the ones consumers actually engage with at this point in the purchase journey.

According to the post, customers already have clear expectations about how checkout offers should work and respond primarily when offers feel relevant. For investors, this emphasis on relevance at a high-intent moment underscores the value of Rokt’s focus on optimizing checkout experiences, which could support higher conversion rates for clients and reinforce Rokt’s positioning in the performance-driven ad and e-commerce technology segment.
If Rokt can systematically apply the “five rules” referenced in the post to improve engagement with checkout offers, the company may deepen its integration with major retailers and increase switching costs. This could translate into stronger recurring revenue potential, expanded enterprise relationships, and a more defensible competitive position versus generic ad-serving or personalization tools that are less specifically tailored to the checkout context.
