Hi Jay105, welcome to the Shopify community. Besides making the store ready, have you done anything about marketing? For example, SEO or social media or any paid ads. Could you share your store link so we could help to check on your store please?

Here are a few suggestions for boosting your Shopify store and increasing sales:

  1. Optimize your product pages: Make sure that your product pages are well-designed and easy to navigate. Include high-quality product images, clear product descriptions, and customer reviews to help visitors make informed purchase decisions.

  2. Promote your store: Use social media, email marketing, and other channels to promote your store and attract new customers. Consider running promotions or discounts to incentivize visitors to make a purchase.

  3. Improve your search engine optimization (SEO): Make sure that your store is optimized for search engines, so that it appears at the top of search results when customers search for products similar to those you sell. This can help increase the visibility of your store and drive more traffic to your site.

  4. Offer free shipping: Consider offering free shipping for orders above a certain amount, or for all orders. This can be a powerful incentive for customers to make a purchase, and it can help increase the average order value.

  5. Provide excellent customer service: Make sure that you provide excellent customer service, and respond promptly to any questions or concerns that customers may have. This can help build trust and credibility with your customers, and increase the likelihood of repeat business.

I hope these suggestions are helpful! Keep in mind that it can take time to build up sales for a new store, so be patient and keep working on improving your store and promoting it to potential customers.

The following techniques can help increase your store sales.

  1. Provide Limited Time Offers
    Providing limited-time offers is an excellent way to increase your Shopify store.
  2. Use Trust Badges
    Trust badges are crucial for every eCommerce store. Until people trust you with their credit card information, they won’t make a purchase. A few ways to establish trust with potential customers are: Install an SSL certificate in your store, display small images of credit cards and other payment options, add social buttons that take your customers to your social media accounts, display your contact info (phone number, email address, and office address) prominently.
  3. Use high quality images
    Product images help shoppers visualize the item they’re buying. This helps increase conversion rates as well as reduce return requests.
  4. Get Customer reviews
    Displaying reviews on your Shopify store is that it helps strengthen your brand’s credibility and reliability.
  5. Mobile friendliness
    Websites that are mobile friendly, in general, will outrank non-mobile friendly sites in mobile search results.
  6. Optimize your shopify store for search engine traffic
    One way to optimize your store is by adding Keywords which are the search terms that people use with the search engines and will be what guide you in your search engine optimization. Once you gather all relevant keywords that are relevant to your product and your niche market, begin using them all throughout your website like in Product Titles, Product Descriptions, Alt Tags on Images and any other additional content.
  7. Attract customers with content marketing
    Just like your product descriptions will help attract visitors to your Shopify site, so will any other content on your website. A simple paragraph at the bottom of each category page with a lot of keywords that are likely used on search engines will do the trick.
  8. Write guest posts for sites within your niche
    The websites on the top of the search engine results pages likely have a lot of other websites linking to them. The more links pointing to your website, the better. Rather than wait for other websites to direct traffic to you through a link, it is easiest to offer to write a guest post for other blogs within your niche.
  9. Write blog post features of influencers in your market
    Another way to get more links and increase traffic to your online shop is by writing a blog post that features influencers in your niche market.
  10. Integrate social media
    Integrate social media in your website to receive all of the new traffic on social media.
  11. Showcase your products with powerful text, images, and video
    Your product description should be detailed and evocative. Include vital product specifications as well as a powerful story about the product. Commerce is built on great storytelling.

try Redbrain, it is an app, they will help you on google, they only charge commission when you have sales, most google ads you just keep paying and the conversion rate is tiny, with them we made lots of conversions

you need to make sure you set up google merchant centre and make sure you follow the policies
