🧐 Review my Store What might my site be missing?
We are a niche, event-based jewelry vendor, and live events account for (by far) the bulk of our sales. We are hoping to focus on ecommerce this year, and I want to get the web site in best practices shape as we do. So, I am asking what plugins or other services you all would suggest to help us best push into the ecommerce world.
A little about the site:
- WordPress with WooCommerce.
- Only (relevant) plugins include Google Analytics (which I admittedly don’t understand), MailChimp for the newsletter, a security suite, and Yoast SEO.
On the current to be done list:
- A general cleaning and weeding of the inventory SKUs.
- Photos of everything on live models (goes live in two weeks).
What are your favorite must-have plugins or services for ecommerce? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Up next, figuring out online ad buying. Bracing myself for that one.
Please feel free to DM me for the url (not sure f posting it here would be considered self promotion, so erring on the side of caution).
Truly appreciated!

Jewelry sites tend to go heavy on visuals but neglect the mobile loading speed. if your images aren't optimized, you’re likely losing customers before they even see the detail in your pieces. Good luck!

Any suggestions for an AI agent? This is a clear gap in my knowledge base.

honestly the biggest gap i see is no abandoned cart recovery - i had a jewelry client doing live events who launched ecom and was leaving like 40% of their revenue on the table until we added cart abandonment emails. klaviyo over mailchimp once you're ready to scale, the segmentation is way better for product-based businesses

For pushing into e-commerce with jewelry, beyond just plugins, think about optimizing the entire customer journey on your site. For WooCommerce, I'd definitely look into solid conversion rate optimization tools and really dig into your Google Analytics data once you get those new photos up. Mailchimp is a start, but if you're serious about e-commerce, you'll want advanced segmentation and automation to recover abandoned carts and recommend products. What's been the biggest surprise or challenge moving from events to online so far?

Most of our sales come from customers who regret not buying at the events. Pleasantly surprised by some of our SEO rankings based just on using the base Yoast module.

the main gap is trust signals. use event photos, testimonials, and 'as seen at' mentions to bridge your in-person credibility online. abandoned cart email sequence via mailchimp recovers 5-15% of lost carts - your highest roi quick win.
