Hi,

Hi, @Ourskinbeauty1.

Thanks for your message, I would be happy to offer you some suggestions for this. First, I would love to take a look at your storefront, it may help us investigate further possibilities, are you able to share the URL? In the meantime, I would love to share this great article that touches on this topic, it offers really great resources that you can look into in regards to your shop if you are getting traffic but not seeing many sales coming in. It walks you through questions you should be asking of your shop such as:

  1. Is your main navigation easy to use?
  2. Does your visual brand look professional?
  3. Does your homepage have a clear call to action?
  4. Does your website copy speak to your target audience?
  5. Does your website look just as good on your mobile phone?
  6. Are shoppers adding products to their cart?
  7. Are shoppers abandoning their cart?
  8. Is price or payment options stopping them from checking out?

These are great starting points to investigate your shop to ensure you are set up optimally for both traffic and sales. As mentioned above, I would be happy to take a closer look at your shop to see if I can offer any further suggestions after looking over it. 

I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any further questions as well!

Hello!

Marty gave a really nice overview what might be the issue that your customers are not converting. But I would also like to ask what is your cart abandonment rate? Do you follow if your customers get to the check out process but then decide to abandon their carts?

One of the main reasons for cart abandonment is hidden fees such as shipping costs and taxes. On the second place is necessity to create an account before making a purchase. And these are only some things that might affect your cart abandonment rate. If you feel like this might be one of the problems you have, check out our article on ways to improve cart conversions

I hope this is a bit of a help!
