How can I improve my online store setup?

Topic summary

Store owner requests expert review of a Shopify store, asks how to improve performance and configure shipping costs, and shares the store URL. Seeks guidance on linking the announcement bar to a subscription page.

Recommendations provided:

  • Use the announcement bar (top banner) to promote a discount code or free shipping to drive browsing. Add a slideshow under the header to showcase best sellers/favorites. Add a favicon (tab icon) for a more polished and trustworthy look.
  • To link the announcement bar, use the Shopify Theme Editor to set the bar’s link target (screenshot provided for reference).

Follow-up issue:

  • Owner cannot find a “subscribe” option in the announcement bar’s link choices, suggesting the subscription page or destination isn’t available in the link selector.

Key terms: Announcement bar = site-wide top message; Slideshow = rotating image section; Favicon = small browser tab icon; Theme Editor = Shopify’s customization interface.

Status: Partially addressed. Visual/design suggestions and linking method shared, but the subscription link target and shipping cost setup remain unresolved. Conversation ongoing.

Hey @Gloveca .

Thanks for providing your online store URL for us to take a look.

Looking into your store, I noticed that you are using an announcement bar to welcome your customers to your homepage. What do you think about including a discount code or free shipping offer in the announcement? This can create a buyer incentive for your visitors to begin browsing through the available collections.

You could potentially add a slideshow section to the homepage as the first section under the header navigation as this can allow your visitors to learn more about the business without having to scroll. For example, you could include your best seller or favorite product in the slides. This is a great way to showcase your products!

I did notice that you currently do not have a favicon on your online store. A favicon is a small image that displays on your browser tab and represents the company/business - if you take a look at your browser tabs, I am sure you will see favicons! You can add a favicon to your online store to add a polished look to your website. It can also provide your visitors with an extra sense of security about making a purchase.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey @Gloveca .

Thanks for the quick response.

That is a great question! When you navigate to the Theme Editor, you can select on the announcement bar to make changes to the link. I took a screenshot from my test store to show you the section I am referring to:

Let me know what you think.
