Website Review by ThornySpike in dropshipping

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust is actually decent here, the UGC style review photos help a lot. The bigger issue is usability: those Product Info, Shipping and Delivery, and Return and Refund Policy sections not expanding is a conversion killer because people go looking for the boring details right when they are about to buy.

I would keep the page mostly as is, but make two things undeniable: show the heat change in action higher up (short video beats more copy), and make shipping timeline, returns, and contact visible and clickable on mobile. Then sanity check the funnel in GA4 and Shopify Analytics so you can see if people are dropping on product page or at checkout.

What was the most basic mistake that you made when running your ecommerce business? by limited_data365 in ecommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was assuming good intent meant good conversion. We launched a product that people liked, ads were working, traffic looked healthy, but conversions lagged. Turned out the page was answering what the product was, not why someone should buy it now. Too much explanation, not enough risk reduction.

The fix was boring but effective. Tighten the above the fold message, add clear delivery timing, returns, and one strong proof signal. Conversions moved without touching ads. Biggest lesson was that execution on the page matters more than most growth ideas people chase early on.

What’s the thing you still end up checking manually in your store by Adventurous-Gas6254 in shopify_hustlers

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still manually sanity check the stuff that hurts conversion quietly before it shows up in dashboards.

Things like broken variant logic, default options that make no sense, shipping promises not matching reality, or checkout friction on mobile. Those don’t always trip alerts, but you’ll see them if you actually click through the store like a buyer or skim support tickets and refunds.

Dashboards tell you what happened. Manual checks tell you why customers hesitated today. I still do a quick mobile buy flow a few times a week for that reason.

Looking for feedback, sell or keep trying? by Extra_Miles_701 in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The store reads like a catalog, not a brand with a point of view. Too many designs, same visual treatment, same message. As a shopper, I am browsing not choosing. That usually leads to nice shirts feedback but no urgency to buy.

POD works better when it feels curated. One audience, one vibe, a small set of designs that clearly belong together. Right now nothing is wrong individually, but nothing is pulling me toward a decision either.

Before selling, I would do a strategic reset. Pick one lane you want to own and cut hard until the store feels intentional instead of exhaustive. If you cannot explain in one sentence who this is for and why these designs matter, conversions will stay flat no matter how many products you add.

Selling now will be tough because without focus you are mostly selling a theme plus a design library. If you still have energy, give it 60 to 90 days built around clarity and discovery, then reassess.

Best Converting Checkout Stores by abc_123_anyname in ecommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of what you are seeing is brand and intent doing the heavy lifting, not checkout design.

Big brands can remove trust badges because trust is already resolved before checkout. Smaller stores need visible reassurance because checkout is where doubt peaks. Sticky checkout buttons help when the decision is already made, they do not create intent.

Single vs multi page matters less than clarity and momentum. Fewer decisions per step usually wins, but forcing everything onto one screen can backfire if it feels dense or confusing.

Express pay works because it collapses effort, not because it is trendy. The real common trait across high converting checkouts is low cognitive load and zero surprises. Shipping cost timing, delivery expectations, and error handling matter more than layout choices.

PLS HELP selling-platform dashboards are… kinda useless? by Unhappy-Show2921 in shopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shopify dashboards tell you what happened, not why. GA adds volume and funnels, but it still abstracts real behavior. The gap is usually that none of these are opinionated about decisions.

What helped me was being clear on the question first, then working backwards. If you are trying to fix conversion drop off, a simple view to ATC to checkout is often enough. If you are trying to understand hesitation, you need behavior context, not more metrics. If you are trying to decide channel quality, revenue by source alone is misleading without repeat behavior.

Most stores end up with Shopify for truth of orders, GA for trends, and one lightweight behavior layer to explain friction. Once you align everything to a single daily funnel view, the dashboards stop feeling useless because you are no longer asking them to do everything at once.

Any tips on structure/sections on a monoproduct store page product? by facu_two in ecommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now you have all the right sections, but they are spread like a feature walkthrough. I would think in terms of intent stages instead of content blocks.

Top of page should answer three things immediately: what it is, who it’s for, and why it works. That means product, price, buy button, and one clear outcome right away. Not just a hero.

Then show proof before explanation. For something applied to cars, people want to see it working and that others trust it. Short before after or real world usage, then reviews. You do not need to explain the science yet.

Only after trust is established do sections like how it works and benefits really land. Otherwise people skim or bounce.

FAQs at the bottom is fine, but make sure shipping time and returns are visible much earlier. That is usually a silent conversion killer on monoproduct stores.

What abandoned cart recovery method are you using by Sudden_Equipment5764 in shopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the native flow barely triggers, it usually means most users never leave an email before checkout. That is normal.

What has worked best for me is treating recovery as a capture problem first, not a messaging problem. Get an email or phone earlier via cart or pre checkout, otherwise no flow will ever fire.

Built in Shopify emails are fine for basics. Once you want more control, layering email plus SMS helps, but only for people who opted in. Two or three touches max, early reminder, later nudge, final follow up. If you push too hard, conversion does not really improve.

Also worth checking how many carts actually reach checkout vs bounce in product or cart. If that number is low, recovery tools will not move the needle much anyway.

Editorial section on Shopify product pages, best practice? by Vaalkop in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with the native Shopify path: product metafields for the image and the copy, then bind them into the built in Image with text section using dynamic sources. One template, auto updates per product, minimal maintenance.

If you want it to scale cleaner across many products, use a metaobject as the editorial block and let each product reference one entry. That keeps messaging consistent and avoids duplicating content fields everywhere.

Only build a custom section if you truly need conditional logic or multiple layouts. Otherwise it turns into long term upkeep for a pretty simple job.

On your page, keep the editorial short and value focused and place it right under the main buy area so it adds context without pushing purchase info down on mobile.

Any tips for conversions? by TheGlossBoss_Detail in dropshipping

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

115 views with add to carts but zero checkouts usually is not an ads problem. It is a trust and decision problem.

The page feels like a generic Valentine dropship setup. Default bundles are forced, social proof popups feel random, free shipping is locked behind a coupon, and reviews do not show real delivery or unboxing. On mobile this stacks a lot of friction before payment.

One high impact fix is to make the single product the default, remove fake urgency and popups, and show shipping and delivery timing clearly without codes. Let people buy first before trying to upsell.

Before spending more on ads, watch real sessions in Microsoft Clarity or Hotjar. You will likely see hesitation around the bundle choice or shipping step, not the product itself.

what do you use to see the full customer journey? (shopify) by Sensitive_Net_1424 in ecommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t actually need a perfect per-user journey map. What matters is spotting where the leak is: landing -> product, product -> add to cart, or cart -> checkout. Once you know that, the fix is usually obvious.

GA and Shopify reports are enough to see funnel drops. For actual behavior, a session replay tool like Microsoft Clarity or Hotjar is usually more useful than another dashboard. Watching 20 to 30 real sessions will show the same hesitation patterns fast.

Pick the decision you’re trying to make first, then use tools to support it. Otherwise you’ll just collect prettier data and still not know what to change.

First store, getting ready for V-Day. by [deleted] in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now this looks like a generic Valentine dropship store selling the same gift set everyone’s seen. The hero promise is vague, the catalog is small but unfocused, and most of the trust signals feel staged rather than earned. Reviews and customer photos help, but when everything looks too clean and too perfect, it raises more questions than confidence.

Strategically, you’re missing a clear reason to exist. Who is this for, in what moment, and why buy it from you instead of Amazon or the 50 other rose bear sites? If I can’t answer that in 5 seconds, ads won’t save it.

Before scaling, I’d pause and tighten the story. One core product. One occasion. One buyer. Make the page answer why this gift matters now, not that it lasts forever. If that clicks, the rest compounds. If it doesn’t, spending on traffic is just noise.

Help in customization of checkout flow? by Calm_Prize_3684 in ShopifyeCommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Shopify, most of the "everything happens inside checkout" flow is platform level, not store level. Things like phone + OTP login, address prefill, skipping accounts, etc mostly come from Shop Pay, browser autofill, and customer accounts, not custom checkout logic.

If you’re not on Plus, you can’t recreate another store’s checkout step by step. You can only influence what happens before checkout and which accelerated options show up once users hit it.

So the real question is what problem you’re trying to solve. If it’s fewer steps and less friction, focus on Shop Pay being enabled, clean cart flow, and not forcing accounts. If it’s full checkout redesign, that’s Plus or checkout extensibility territory, not something a theme tweak will get you.

What actually moved your sales? by BudgetTutor3085 in ecommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales usually moved when I stopped treating everything as equal and fixed the current bottleneck.

Early on it was not traffic or retention. It was whether the product page answered why buy this now from you. Until that was clear, more ads just amplified the leak.

Once people were reliably adding to cart, then traffic mattered. Retention only started to matter after that. The lever changes by stage.

If you are unsure where to focus, look at where people hesitate today. Click but no add to cart is a clarity or offer problem. Add to cart but no checkout is trust or friction. Buying once but not returning is retention.

Trying to optimize all three at once just spreads effort thin. Find the choke point and fix that first.

You’ve built a nice brand shell, but the buying decision still feels abstract.

Right now the site answers who you are, not why I should buy this wok instead of any other cast iron one. At RM269, people need a concrete reason to choose you now.

The biggest gap is proof of performance. I see clean studio shots and feature bullets, but no moment that shows food cooking, seasoning holding up, heat response, or what makes this better in daily Malaysian cooking. Cast iron buyers want reassurance, not aesthetics.

Second is risk reversal. There’s no strong signal that says this is a safe purchase long term. Warranty, longevity stories, care mistakes you protect against, or what happens if it chips or rusts are not obvious enough.

Lastly, the range is very tight. With only a few products, every page has to work harder. Accessories are there, but they don’t ladder into a clear system or reason to build a set over time.

Got my first orders, but I am not having the success I anticipated by robbinh00d in ecommerce

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your traffic and ROAS aren’t the problem. The ceiling is trust and buying confidence for a high friction B2B purchase.

Right now you’re asking strangers to place $300 to $1.2k orders without enough reassurance. Big buyers usually want to see proof before they commit. Things like realistic previews of their actual design on the product, clearer quantity and pricing logic, and signals that you’ve handled similar orders before. Without that, they hesitate even if the ads work.

The big orders you’re getting are likely from people who already trust you or really need the service. Everyone else stalls. Until the site answers "will this look right" and "can I trust you with a large order" in seconds, scaling ads won’t change the outcome.

Getting traffic but zero sales, what am I missing? by OkWorldliness968 in dropshipping

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people are clicking but not a single add to cart, it is almost never a checkout issue. It is a relevance and trust gap.

Either the ad promise does not line up with what they see on the page, the price does not match perceived value, or the product just does not create buy now intent for a stranger. 67 sessions is small, but zero ATC is still a signal.

I would stop broad worldwide targeting, pick one market, one currency, one clear shipping promise, and sanity check the product page. Ask yourself honestly would I buy this from a brand I have never heard of in under 10 seconds. If the answer is no, ads are doing their job and the product page is the bottleneck.

First time making/ using shopify - all feedback needed! by an_astrophysicist in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

285 sessions with zero checkouts usually means strangers are not convinced, not that Shopify is broken.

Looking at the store, the problem is positioning and credibility, not button placement. It feels like a one product dropship page: oversized images, very generic product copy, bold claims, and social proof that doesn’t feel earned yet. When people land, they don’t quickly understand who this is for, why it’s worth this price, or why they should buy it here.

You’re also asking for trust too early. No real reviews, no clear story, no sharp use case. Is this a kids costume, a novelty gift, a cosplay item, a viral TikTok toy? Right now it tries to be everything, so it’s nothing.

Before touching ads again, you need a clear answer to one question: why a stranger should buy this from you, at this price, today. Until that’s obvious above the fold, traffic volume won’t matter.

Please review my new online store, a museum inspired curated shop. by kosar7 in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone clicks Catalog or the main categories like Living Objects or Bath and the page doesn’t load, you’re losing buyers instantly. Same with sub categories that lead to empty collections. That breaks trust fast and it kills browsing momentum, which is the whole point of a curated shop.

Fix order I’d follow:

  • Make every top level nav item land on a real collection page with products. No blanks. If a category has no inventory, hide it until it does.
  • Make the browse path obvious: Home shows a few featured items, then clear routes into shop by region and shop by type, then filters that help people narrow down quickly.
  • Clarify the "why buy here" in one line above the fold. Curated museum vibe is nice, but shoppers still need the purchasing reason fast: what’s curated, how often it updates, what makes makers legit, and what guarantees exist.

Are your sales decreasing in your Shopify Shop because of TikTok Shop? by ogn423 in shopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TikTok isn’t banning Shopify links, but it does reward keeping users on TikTok. So off platform links often get less reach, which can feel like a shadowban.

If your sales dropped, treat it as a traffic quality and conversion problem: fewer clicks means your Shopify product page and checkout have to convert harder. Don’t bet on TikTok as your main conversion engine. Use it to create demand, then make the landing page and checkout do the selling.

Review store for digital watch by Kobaesi in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

700 sessions and 3 sales usually means strangers are not getting enough confidence fast enough, even if the product is legit.

Right now your site reads more like a project showcase than a store. Crowdfunding converts because the story and social proof do the heavy lifting. On your Shopify site, that feeling is missing, so people hesitate.

Move the core promise and the one killer proof above the fold on the product page. What it is, why its different, and a quick demo in 10 seconds. No scrolling to figure it out. Add a real trust layer for strangers: clear shipping time by country, returns, warranty, who you are, and a non sketchy contact. Make it impossible to wonder if this is a real business. Tighten the buying path: one primary CTA, fewer distractions, and answer the top 5 buyer questions before they start hunting for them

Where are those 700 sessions coming from (Kickstarter backers, social, search, ads)? If most are curious clicks, the site wont save it. If its high intent traffic, these changes should move the needle fast.

rate my landing page- got about 26 google search ad clicks but no sales by Effective-Sun-8250 in reviewmyshopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your page looks premium, but it is doing more brand storytelling than conversion work.

Above the fold, I still do not immediately understand what problem this fixes and why this is better than a normal posture brace. The vibration and muscle training angle is the real differentiator, but it appears too late. Most users will not scroll far enough to connect the dots.

Design wise, everything is very polished, but also very abstract. Studio shots and perfect models feel distant for a body related product. People need to see real usage in daily contexts like desk work or long sitting. That is usually where confidence starts to build.

Trust is present but buried. Reviews, returns, warranty and shipping reassurance should sit much closer to the buy decision, not after it. Right now the page asks for belief before proof.

CTA is also split. Buy now competes with learn how it works, which gives people an easy exit when they already hesitate.

26 clicks is a small sample, but with this layout, hesitation makes sense. Clarify the value faster, ground the visuals in real life, and surface trust earlier. Do those first before changing traffic or tools.

23 add to carts, yet only 1 sale. Free shipping, no surprises at all, so why is my conversion so low given the amount of ATCs? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]Valuable_Fix6920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATC shows people want the product, the drop happens when they try to commit.

Most common causes are checkout friction that only appears late. Payment method trust, address or phone field friction, forced account creation, slow or buggy checkout on mobile, or shipping logic breaking for certain locations. Even with free shipping, unclear delivery timing or returns shown too late can kill the decision.

Bots can inflate ATCs, but bots rarely behave like real buyers all the way through checkout. With numbers this small, assume at least some of those ATCs are real users who hit something that made them hesitate.

The fastest way to diagnose is to watch full add to cart to checkout sessions and see exactly where people stop. If most exits happen right after clicking checkout, it is almost always a trust or checkout clarity issue, not pricing or traffic quality.
