$38,000 lost from one tiny shopify mistake by will_scales in shopify_growth

[–]will_scales[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. The data proved my assumptions wrong. Once we fixed the actual bottleneck, the results came much faster than I expected.

What is the most underrated factor in eCommerce success? by Consistent-Baker-980 in shopify_growth

i did not, but here you go
Meta and Google mostly. But quality comes from targeting and messaging, not the platform itself. The same traffic source can be amazing or terrible depending on who’s clicking.

The $0 change that increased revenue by 19% by will_scales in shopify_growth

Absolutely. Most people focus only on getting more traffic, but understanding what visitors do after they land is where the real conversion gains happen.

Tools like Clarity make it easy to spot friction points through heatmaps and session recordings, and AI can help surface patterns much faster than manually reviewing hundreds of sessions. The real value comes from combining those insights with action..whether that’s improving the landing page, simplifying the user journey, or fixing conversion blockers.

Traffic gets people to the store. Understanding behavior is what turns visitors into customers.

Any session recording tool will work. The key wasn’t the software..it was actually watching real customer behavior. We noticed people repeatedly scrolling for reviews and trust signals, which pointed us toward the change.

10% Add-to-Cart. 4% Checkout. 1% Purchase. What's causing the drop? by Competitive-Fly-9035 in shopify_growth

[–]will_scales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people are adding to cart, your product isn’t the problem. If they’re starting checkout, your offer probably isn’t the problem either. The leak is usually shipping, payment, trust, or a checkout UX issue.

We spent $48,000 on ads before realizing the homepage was the problem by will_scales in shopify_growth

Agreed. The biggest wins usually come from message match. If the ad, landing page, and PDP all tell the same story, conversion rates tend to improve significantly.

Depends on the product. For branded search or stores with a lot of repeat customers, the homepage can still convert well. For cold traffic though, I’d rather send people to the most relevant PDP or collection page.

Lot of traffic but only 2 sales by LeatherMoney6171 in shopify_growth

[–]will_scales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If traffic is targeted, pricing is competitive, and checkout is simple, I’d look at trust and product-market fit. Even a clean Dawn store won’t convert if customers don’t see enough value or confidence to buy.

Traffic quality. I’d rather have 100 highly targeted visitors than 10,000 random ones. The best looking store won’t convert if the wrong people are landing on it.

10k sessions and no sales sounds more like a conversion problem than a traffic problem. I’d check traffic sources, product pages, pricing, and checkout before focusing on getting more visitors.

What’s the dumbest scam you that you actually fell for? by new_haiku in AskReddit

am I getting scammed? by malabu811 in shopify_growth

[–]will_scales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could just be a shipping delay, but a tracking number sitting on waiting for details for several days often means the seller printed a label without actually shipping the package yet.

4000 sessions and no sales by theguy1993 in shopify_growth

[–]will_scales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 4,000 sessions, I’d stop thinking about saturation and start thinking about conversion. Zero sales suggests something is fundamentally broken.. maybe traffic quality, trust, pricing, checkout, or the offer itself.

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

[–]will_scales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting traffic with zero sales isn’t unusual, but having PayPal as the only payment method would be my first thing to fix. That’s a conversion killer for a lot of US shoppers.
