Growing Sales from Shop App

[LA_GENT1]

Shop App seems to hold a lot of potential as a new sales channel ( we are seeing good growth from a  very low base) however it feels like they are very few levers to pull to drive sales especially outside of the US/canada where you cannot advertise yet. Are there any recommendations on how a store can grow sales from the Shop App ?

Hey there! The Shop App can feel a bit mysterious when you can’t run ads outside North America, but there are still some neat things you can try.
First, treat your Shop profile like a mini storefront. Bright, on brand banners and a clear Shop Cash or discount offer will make your brand irresistible as people scroll.
Next, let your happy customers do the talking. More reviews and star ratings you rise in search results, and sending a friendly push notification (“Just dropped: our summer collection!”) nudges shoppers right back to your store.
Finally, make every product “shop ready.” Fill out those titles, tags, and high-quality images so the app’s algorithm can match your items to curious buyers even without paid ads. Give these a spin and watch your Shop App orders start to climb.

That said, there’s still some solid ground to work with. Start by making sure your store looks its best on the app — great visuals, fast shipping, and top-notch customer reviews go a long way. Since direct ads aren’t an option yet, think about leveraging your existing channels. Add your Shop link to emails, social posts, and even your packaging to guide traffic back into the app.

It’s all about building visibility and trust until those international tools catch up. Hang in there — the groundwork you're laying now will pay off when more options become available.
