This stage defines whether or not your customer will buy the product in question. Therefore, this experience needs to be as **efficient and enjoyable** as possible. \n\nIn accordance with its innovation, security and simplicity principles, VTEX is launching the **new SmartCheckout**, also called **Checkout v6**. To cater to evermore complex scenarios, as well as to render the order placing experience as **rich and simple** as possible, VTEX is launching new features that will result in higher customer satisfaction and an increase in sales. \n\nRead more on the main improvements of this new version below:\n\n## Collect orders from Pick-up Points \n\nWith the new SmartCheckout, your customer will be able to choose whether to have an order **delivered** at home or collect it from a **pick-up point**. Your store hereby gains a new e-commerce delivery method and opens a new sales channel for brick-and-mortar stores.\n\n## Split delivery between \"Deliver at home\" and \"Pick-up from store\"\n\nIn the previous version, the customer was unable to place an order if the chosen products could not be delivered by the same **delivery type** (Express Delivery, Next Day Delivery, Free Delivery, etc). \n\nWith the new version, our checkout can **combine any available delivery type** to place an order, which means that your customer can receive partial delivery at home and pick up the remaining products from a store or other pick-up point.\n\n## More intuitive delivery options choice\n\nThe new SmartCheckout also brings your customer more simplicity when **choosing delivery options** for an order.\n\nIf the choice is to **receive products at home**, up to three delivery options could be shown at checkout:\n\n- **More economic**\n- **Faster**\n- **Mixed**\n\nThe **More Economic** option considers the cheapest delivery options, looking to appeal to price-driven customers. \n\nThe **Faster** option looks at deliveries with potentially less delivery time, catering to the needs of customers who demand more agile deliveries.\n\nThe **Mixed** option chooses the best cost-benefit ratio between price and delivery time, offering customers a more balanced delivery option.\n\nWith these suggestions, your customers will be able to clearly and intuitively decide which delivery method best fits their needs.\n\n## Shopping cart shipping simulator\n\nIn addition, Checkout v6 has a **shipping simulator** in the shopping cart stage, anticipating delivery scenarios that your customer may encounter during checkout.\n\n<br />\n\nFor more on the topic, access our article about how to [activate Checkout v6](/en/docs/tutorials/enable-checkout-v6) in your store."}
