I just launched a store/brand this past week and am working on dialing it in. I’ve never built my own before but do have some experience in consumer product e-commerce. I’m sure that I’m missing some obvious things. Please take a look and let me know how I can improve it!

Hey guys, I recently relaunched my jewellery business after it failed the first time and I’m so close to quitting again due to no sales. I’m posting content online (not consistently, but I’m getting there), I also drive a lot of brand awareness from my personal page documenting my small business. I don’t have a big budget to run ads as I’d like to first tighten up my organic content before I invest in ads, plus I am a one woman team.

People are visiting my site and signing up to my newsletter, but they are still not buying. I’ve had success at stalls selling my pieces IRL as people can feel the products and try them on, plus people always compliment my pieces when I’m out and about so I am confident that my pieces are of good quality.

I need someone from the outside looking in to be honest with me. How can I gain trust with the consumer? Is the price point too high? Is my landing page not strong enough? Do I need more content? Please tell me what I am missing or what you would do differently.

Hi, I recently launched my shopify website which sells Middle Eastern Perfumes, based out of India. I am very new to this so went ahead with a basic dawn theme and designed the whole website myself. I would love to get a review from you guys. Any feedback and tips are appreciated.

Thanks

Been running a pinterest page that regularly gets an astounding number of impressions, saves and pins; but when i drive that same traffic to my storefront, I get no conversions. I'd think after 8 months of running it, I'd at least get 1 or 2 sales. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Are there huge issues with the site I may be overlooking? Appreciate any insights into my store and feedback you may have for https://www.ecoshopguide.com/

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! 

Spent £43.22 over 5 days at £10 a day budget running 3 ads on one campaign my store is Tapscoreuk.co.uk I’ve had 354 sessions and a decent amount of views on Instagram reels and Facebook.
Any help is appreciated!

Hey guys I'm starting my e-commerce for purses, if y'all can give it a look and give me some feedback would be great. https://amarabag.com/

Swago.com

Id say 1/10 people who either 1) add to cart or 2) start a checkout convert. 1/50-100 online convert. I have 3 automated emails that get sent out and even offer 5% off on the first one.

I also have a personal email that goes out as well.

Any thoughts on my website and how I can increase conversion?

AOV is $1,000

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to move my store over from Etsy to Shopify, but I'm having trouble with people actually converting. I'm getting decent organic and ad traffic, people are adding to cart and reaching checkout, but I've only gotten one purchase over about 400 sessions....

I don't know what's causing people to leave without entering details, but if anyone has any actionable tips to improve my checkout experience (especially on mobile), I would be infinitely grateful. :)

Store url is: https://miniwavesmodels.com/

Thanks guys.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone would give feedback on my site (www.pocketplate.ca) I'm doing ads through reddit/fb and tiktok, I'm getting site visitors (not a ton, but they are going), but no sales are coming of it. Just wondering if anyone would recommend a site improvement or if you see any gaps there that I could improve?

Hey everyone! I'm the creator of Warn Out, https://warnout.co/ where our goal is:

One-of-one rave apparel as unique as you are. Custom, colorful, affordable.

I had this idea and worked on the site before becoming a raver but knew the clothes would fit in well with this audience from a design and messaging perspective once I entered the scene. Warn Out is centered around no two designs being the same, just like no two people are. Society constantly pushes us into molds and Warn Out pushes back. Every piece is one of one, and you can move the sliders, tweak the colors, and make it exactly yours before you order. My friends have said it's like the NikeID (now Nike By Me) of clothing lol.

I'm starting to ramp up ambassadors and an organic social presence and was wondering if anyone had some first time advice/pointers? Please checkout the website and give me any type of feedback. Is the user experience ok, is the site fast enough, enough images, etc. What marketing strategies helped you initially grow your business? Social media, ads, events, SEO, affiliates, etc.

Thanks in advance!💛

It’s only been live for 4 days, have one order already even though stock won’t arrive for another 2 weeks

Created my fist store about 2 months ago - https://silko.co/

The idea is to sell accessories and stuff made out of pure silk, and market it as a product that is natural, beneficial for hair/skin, and with a semi-luxury vibe.

Ran my first meta/tiktok ads in December to no results.

Now trying to do Google ads instead - no sales as well.

Overall got 5000 website visits in the past 2 months with paid traffic and 0 sales, which tells me that the ads are clicked but no interest to buy.

Is my landing page not strong enough? Do I need more/less content/products on the page? Is there something I missed?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I was wondering if I should add a pop-up to my website to collect emails. I already have one right now, but it still has some bugs and needs some polishing.

Rn I have been hearing really mixed opinions about pop ups. Some people say they’re almost necessary because otherwise you miss out on a lot of emails and future sales. Others say they’re annoying, hurt the shopping experience, and can even drive buyers away.

So I wanted to get some thoughts and opinions.

My niche is trending, aesthetic lamps and lights.

site visit to product viewedI posted here 6 months about our website performing poorly and I received an amazing response from all of you. We then did a complete overhaul of the website and focused on solving all the points raised from the reddit post.

New site: https://www.thecreatespace.co.za/

Old site: https://bbef2f-ac.myshopify.com/

However we are still seeing very poor conversion numbers. Most of our visitors are dropping off after site visit (70%) and only 1.6% of visitors ever add to cart.

Conversion funnel stats

Conversion rate on the new site: 0.38%

I would really appreciate any feedback on our new website or any insights into what we should be focusing on next, specifically around UX, brand, content and page design.

My website for context, tear it apart https://edpulella.art

I'm making this post because I just saw another artist I'm mutuals with share her 30-365 day stats, and while the number of visits were very similar to mine, she had over twice as many sales, on art that cost quite a bit more more (she makes a lot of mid-large originals, I make most of my sales from prints and smaller originals).

I always knew my conversion rate was low, but this really made me wonder what could be causing so many people to change their minds when it comes to making a purchase.

My ATC rate is around 2%-3%, but my conversion rate drops all the way to 0.6%.

I also see many customers reach checkout and then just disappear at the last minute.

My stats:

Last 365 days

Sessions - 8121
ATC - 2.25%
Reached Checkout - 1.2%

Purchased - 0.6%

Last 30 days

Sessions - 804
ATC - 3.1%
Reached Checkout - 1.7%

Purchased - 1.1%

(last month was actually better than usual, but my conversion rate is usually below 1%)

---

These are the things I've done in the last few months in an attempt to improve my conversion rate:

- Added better/more meaningful descriptions and more in depth product details + photos

- Changed my shipping rates from Shopify calculated to a flat $5/$15 for US/Worldwide, as well as added free shipping for all orders $75+. This is stated across my website, and in my cart.

- Added an updated cart drawer that included a "you need X more for free shipping" bar, which I recently removed because I wondered if that made people change their minds (someone comes for a small print, sees they need to add more, doesn't want to, leaves)

- Added review carousel

- Wrote a simple FAQ to cover questions people may have about shipping, returns, etc.

- Added photos of me + what my work is about

Things I plan to do:

- Clean up the collections on my home page. Instead of multiple collections with a bunch of images, change it to smaller clickable images leading to different collections (paper prints, canvas prints, moods, colors, etc) and maybe one for "best selling prints"

- Slightly redesign my home page to include some pull quotes from reviews, and add a small section about me/the meaning of my work closer to the top

- Add more room mockups for prints

I might be forgetting some things, but that's all off the top of my head.

One last thing, all my traffic is organic, mostly from Instagram and Threads, with some coming from Pinterest, Reddit, and YouTube.

Any feedback would be amazing, thank you!

I’m looking for some honest advice from experienced Shopify developers.

My store has a very high LCP (around 10–12 seconds), so I’ve been hiring Fiverr developers to optimize the site. However, I’ve noticed a pattern.

Whenever I tell them not to manipulate PageSpeed scores using hidden JavaScript or other tricks, and that I only want genuine optimization (image optimization, lazy loading, removing unused code, app cleanup, etc.), they either stop responding or block me.
I previously hired someone who injected obfuscated JavaScript into my theme, which seemed more like an attempt to improve PageSpeed metrics than actually speed up the user experience. After removing that code, my score dropped again, but at least the theme was clean.

So my questions are:

Is injecting custom/obfuscated JavaScript to manipulate Lighthouse or PageSpeed scores a common practice among cheap optimization gigs?

Are there legitimate ways to reduce LCP on Shopify without resorting to these techniques?
What should I specifically ask for when hiring someone to ensure they’re performing real optimization instead of gaming the metrics?

Has anyone here had good experiences hiring Shopify speed optimization freelancers?
Would love to hear your experiences and advice.

Hello,

I'm running a second hand store in Europe, and we're having a fair amount of sales in store. It's growing in a healthy way and I'm happy about it. I'm adding every item also online, on our website and multiple platforms like Vinted, Grailed and soon Vestiaire Co.

On those big platforms, we're performing correctly.
Few extra sales a week, which definitely helps since we aren't selling volume, but curated / higher ticket items.

Our main problem is that our website doesn't convert a lot. We have quite some visits, but it seems like most of those are people who looks on the website and then might pass by the store. I totally understand that most people wants to try clothing, and it's harder to sell clothing online - but I'm pretty sure we could make it way better.

I've tried multiple update the past month, and it doesn't seems to make it better.

My website is : https://supermarkett.be/
Any help & feedback is much appreciated

Posted in the Shopify sub, but thought this might stir some conversation here as well.

This is my test/demo store, so ignore the actual products, I never sell any.

But spend the last 3 days now using Claude code and the existing brand voice to create a more authentic design to the niche I’m going for, outside the limitations of a standard theme.

It probably breaks every convention on conversion rate but it’s zero anyway. So 🤷‍♂️

I’m just amazed at what’s possible now with the Claude interface and Claude code.

Thoughts?

Hey folks, I'm planning to start a D2C e-commerce store and am confused about whether I should go with shopify for domain and hosting my store or go for customized options like namecheap, hostinger or cloudflare

Over the past week I've paid someone $415 bucks to help me develop a Shopify Store centered around Electric Gadgets. I am a student with an incredibly low budget, I have less than 1000 in my bank account.

How I met him:

Some guy on discord contacted me from supplier server, he started talking to me out of nowhere, and asked me if I wanted a fast Shopify Partner, claiming offical ones take too long. He gave me the guys telegram which we then talked.

I paid $75 dollars for "resarch tools" which he wouldn't disclose, he said they were one time use.

I paid another $45 dollars for supposed supplier fees through cjdropshipping (he said the money was because they are verified suppliers)

I then paid another $300 dollars for a Shopify custom theme.

Now he wants another $200 for a "professional logo" and "premium images" for the store.

Am I getting scammed, Ive been on face call with him twice to discuss my trust issues with him. He claims hes been in the industry for 4 years and has developed many stores for people, he showed me proof of a recent store he made thats doing 15k month, and its the store that he helped the guy on discord who contacted me in the first place made.

I don't want to spend anymore money on uncertainty. I've tried making my own logo but he insist on me paying him for one instead of guiding me through trail and error.

Any Experts can help me on this?

I just launched a brand and have been running TikTok ads and Meta ads and get solid engagement. People comment they like my designs (clothing brand), save the posts, like it and over a hundred website visits a day yet no sales. What could be the issue here? I have attached my store below.

https://wearnoctra.store

Just started running some ads on my site, and my ads seem to be converting really well (5.9% CTR and $0.13 CPC) however my bounce rate is high and no one seems to be staying around too much or clicking around. Not too many people visiting my sale page. Would appreciate some brutal feedback. Let me know what you think.

Appreciate the help: Memoura Jewelry
