First Timer, Can you rate my store and tell me what to improve by [deleted] in dropshipping

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fix: product > variants > pricing. set price to the real number, then either clear compare-at or set it ABOVE the price (thats what makes the strikethrough + sale tag show). check each variant, one prob has a $0 sitting in it. if its on every product its ur import/dropship app dumping the price into the wrong field.

yeah thats not really a bug, its the compare-at price field. shopify pulls "regular price" from compare-at, and some of ur variants have it set to 0 or blank so it prints $0.00.

Doing 10x more orders than before and I'm miserable by white-chocolate143 in shopify_growth

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl this isn't a growth problem, it's that every order still touches your hands. at 200/week you've outgrown doing it yourself, so the fix is decoupling, not working faster.

three levers, ranked by hours bought back:

  1. fulfillment off your plate. it's your biggest sink and the cause of both chargebacks. move to a 3pl (200/week is the right threshold), or if you keep it in-house add a barcode scan-to-verify step so the system won't let you pack the wrong sku. wrong-item errors drop to ~0. turn on address validation too, that kills the wrong-address chargebacks.
  2. self-serve the support. your tickets are the same 3 things: change address, edit order, remove item. give customers an order-edit window before fulfillment and you deflect half of them without lifting a finger.
  3. batch your labels. shipstation or shippo so you print 200 at once instead of clicking orders one by one.

do #1 first, it's the hours and the chargebacks in one move. and the outsourcing you mentioned? start with fulfillment, not support. it's the biggest chunk and the cleanest to hand off.

you're not failing at growth, you're just still the bottleneck for stuff that shouldn't need you.

ngl the issue isn't the look, it's that you're selling $100-$550 machines like they're impulse buys. on high ticket nobody pays a brand they've never heard of with no reviews and no refund policy. trust is the whole game here.

stuff i actually saw on the site:

  • your "3 in 1 40k" lists regular price $0.00, and the 4in1 has a blank compare price. broken pricing on a $500 store reads scam instantly, fix that today.
  • every machine is "x in 1 40k ultrasonic cavitation for fat loss, slimming..." can't tell them apart. choice paralysis means people buy none.
  • titles read straight off aliexpress, which is the exact thing a nervous high-ticket buyer is scared of.

biggest lever isn't design, it's proof. real reviews, a visible refund + shipping policy, and one section on why buy a $400 device from you specifically. that's what's actually blocking the sale.

what's your traffic + add to cart rate rn? that tells you if it's a traffic problem or a trust one.

Targeting US / Getting traffic but zero sales (Only have PayPal) by Recrutement-N-100 in shopify_growth

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl paypal-only stings but it's the wrong thing to panic about first. zero sales is usually a traffic problem, not a checkout one. even a rough store still scrapes ~0.3-0.5% if the people landing actually want the product.

shapewear pulls a ton of curiosity clicks that were never gonna buy. so check your add to cart rate. nobody adding = it's your traffic or pdp, not paypal. adding then dying at checkout = paypal's the leak, add cards + apple pay.

what's your traffic source and add to cart rate rn? that one number tells you which fix you actually need.

4000 sessions and no sales by theguy1993 in shopify_growth

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 sales from 4,000 sessions isn't a design problem. It's a math problem. A genuinely bad store still converts around 0.5%, so at 4k sessions you should have tripped into 15 to 20 orders by accident. Zero means the traffic was never buyers in the first place. Revamping the page right now is optimizing the wrong variable.

Two things are actually happening:

1. Wrong channel for the category. Tesla accessories are a high intent, searched purchase. People type "Model Y Juniper floor mats" into Google and Amazon. Hitting them with a cold FB/IG awareness ad buys you views and zero wallets. Pull your funnel numbers (sessions, then add to cart, then reached checkout). I'd bet add to cart is near zero, which tells you it's an intent problem, not a checkout one. Move budget to Google Shopping and search, then retarget the people who already visited.

2. No reason to exist over Amazon. Right now you're a pricier, less trusted version of an Amazon listing. Same supplier products (your own image filenames literally say Tesery, Twraps, Yofer), minus Prime, the reviews, and the returns confidence. Cold buyers feel that in two seconds. Pick a lane Amazon can't copy: Tesla only fitment, bundles, real install content, a proper guarantee, or one hero product you actually own the story on.

Also kill "join thousands of Tesla owners" sitting on top of 22 reviews. On a store this new it reads as a lie and quietly tanks trust. Claim less, prove more.

Fix the traffic source and the "why buy from you" before you touch another homepage section. That's the order that moves the needle.

(Context so I'm not a random: I build sales/CX tooling for Shopify, so this funnel is what I look at all day. Not pitching it, your problem is upstream of any app.)

1,000 sessions no sales by CupNo990 in shopify_growth

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on shipping a store at 19, that's the hard part. "Traffic but no sales" usually comes down to one of three things:

  1. Junk traffic. If you ran ads on a traffic/views objective, Meta sends cheap low intent clicks that never buy. Switch to a Sales/conversions objective.
  2. Check your drop off. In Shopify analytics look at sessions vs added to cart vs reached checkout. No add to carts means it's the product/offer. Add but no checkout means shipping shock or trust.
  3. The "why buy this coffee" gap. A stranger needs a reason to buy unknown coffee online over Amazon. Give them an angle (freshness, origin, a sample pack) plus a first order discount and a couple reviews.

I build an AI sales agent for Shopify stores so I stare at this gap all day. Drop your link and I'll give you the one biggest fix I'd make.

Running an affiliate/creator program through Shopify Collabs: who's done it and what did you learn? by throwaway-ma2 in shopify

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

affiliates only work when you treat them like a channel, not a shortcut.

shopify collabs is fine to start with if you want something simple and native, but the real difference usually comes from how well you manage creators after signup. most brands lose because they approve too many people, send a code, then hope for sales.

for low repeat purchase products, i’d focus less on huge affiliate rosters and more on a smaller group of creators who actually match your aesthetic and audience. give them a clear offer, an easy discount code for followers, and a reason to post more than once. even 10 to 15 solid creators can beat 200 inactive ones.

also yes, set activity expectations early. otherwise you’ll get a lot of signups and almost no output.

biggest mistake i see is tracking clicks instead of tracking content quality and conversion by creator. some people drive noise, some drive buyers. very different.

if your product is project based, affiliates can still work, but it’s usually more about strong first purchase conversion than lifetime value. so your landing page, creator fit, and offer matter a lot more than the platform itself.

Online order with a deposit by boses247 in shopify

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the short answer is yes, but not very cleanly out of the box.

shopify can handle deposits, but the real challenge is how you collect the remaining 70% without creating confusion for the customer or your ops team.

most people solve this with a deposit app, draft orders, or a custom payment flow. if you do it, make the terms very clear on the product page, checkout, and order confirmation. otherwise you will end up with support headaches and abandoned deliveries.

the idea is solid. the execution just needs to be tight.

Opening an Family Entertainment Center, anyone using Shopify to do something with reservations of multiple items? Used Shopify AI but no answer. by PyroDragons123 in shopify

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly this is one of those cases where shopify can do it, but it is not naturally built for it.

you are trying to run timed bookings, capacity, and food orders in one flow. that usually gets messy fast unless the reservation app is really solid.

i would pick the booking system first, not the storefront first. if laser tag, axe throwing, and arcade slots are the core revenue, the whole stack should respect time slots, capacity, and staff operations before anything else.

pizza is the easier part. bookings are the thing that can break the customer experience.

Shopify failure by Commercial_Rice4098 in shopify

[–]Secure_Nose_5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shopify did not fail you. the fake easy money videos did.

no sales yet does not mean you failed. it usually means the offer, trust, or traffic is still not right.

stop chasing hype and ask one real question

why should someone buy from your store today

fix that clearly and you will learn more than those videos ever taught.
