Make the path to purchase obvious
Shoppers abandon stores when they cannot find shipping costs, product details, or a simple next step. Conversion work is mostly about removing doubt.

Seven changes that usually move the needle
- Show price, stock, and delivery expectations on the product page, not only at checkout.
- Use clear product photos and short benefit-led descriptions above the fold.
- Keep the cart visible and make “Add to cart” the strongest action on the page.
- Offer guest checkout so first-time buyers are not forced to create an account.
- Cut extra form fields. Ask only for what you need to fulfill the order.
- Display trust signals near payment: secure checkout, return policy, and real support.
- Test the mobile checkout on a real phone. Most drop-off happens there.
Measure, then refine
Watch add-to-cart rate, checkout start rate, and completed orders after each change. Improve one friction point at a time so you know what actually helped.
