## Step 1: Select an extension

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/SRkvD6IA5SQ>" %}

Platter+ has 10 checkout and post-purchase extensions to choose from. Choosing your first extension depends on your primary goal.&#x20;

We suggest starting with one of our most popular extensions:

* In-Checkout Cross-Sells
* Post-Purchase Offers
* Promotion Progress Bar
* Alert Banners
* Testimonials

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you need help selecting your first extension, use our [Checkout Optimization Checklist](/get-started/choosing-your-first-extension.md) as a guide.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Step 2: Configure the extension

Once you've selected the extension you'd like to set up, use the configuration settings on the left-hand side.

Configuring the settings is pretty straightforward, but if you have questions or need help, refer to the documentation for each individual extension.

After you've finished adjusting the settings for an extension, follow these steps:

Once you have enabled this setting and activated your post-purchase page, your customers will see the offer(s) you set up in Post-Purchase Offers.

We suggest create a test purchase in order to make sure your Post-Purchase Offers are being displayed as expected.&#x20;
