About

Marcus Reyes

Editor

Marcus Reyes is the editor of CheckoutScale. He covers checkout conversion, order bumps and one-click upsells, and payment routing for direct-response sellers. For every tool he reads the vendor's own documentation and pricing pages, verifies the numbers, and weighs them against what long-term users report in public threads. He does not run the platforms on live campaigns, and he says so wherever it matters.
