What earns each verdict

Same outcomes on every UXFix rule · how verdicts work
✓ Pass39

≥1 express wallet offered.

~ Partial0

Present but positioned last (should be early per Stripe data).

✕ Fail1

None.

not assessable is recorded when the rule applied but the store could not be judged on it (bot protection, a region lock, a step we could not reach), and not applicable when the store has nothing for the rule to judge. Those stores are left out of every number on this page, never guessed. Why we do that
Why it matters

The checkout does not offer any express wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, or PayPal Express).

Express wallets skip 60-80% of the checkout form. Shopify data shows Shop Pay lifts checkout completion by ~1.7x vs email + card entry. On mobile the difference is even bigger.

That sentence is the one a failing store sees in its own UXFix report.How rules are weighted and scored

Score gain
+1.5pts

Score gain is roughly what a fail-to-pass change adds; rules that could not be judged are left out, which can move it a little. Re-run a free audit after the change ships to confirm the verdict moved.

Checklist for the pass
