What is wrong with it ???

Business Fundamentals -

  1. You need to understand that you are a dropshipper. One of about a billion. It’s not special. It’s not original. It’s not exciting. You don’t offer anything of value that I can’t get somewhere else for mostly likely less money.
  2. If you are incapable of learning advertising or paying someone who knows how, you will not succeed in e-commerce. That’s just the way it is.
  3. Site visits without purchase are to be expected. You can’t honestly expect everyone to buy from a complete stranger they know nothing about.
  4. Not all visits are actual humans. Get used to bot traffic, especially for new stores.
  5. Focus on improving your business and website first, not on making money.
  6. Buy the products and test them out. Make sure they look good and are durable BEFORE trying to pawn them off on other people.
  7. If you are dropshipping, stay away from phrases like “We create meaningful gifts”. It’s misleading and could be considered lying.
  8. In all products, ask yourself “Would I buy this product for this price, from a nobody, knowing that I could get it for cheaper from a reputable store?” You may find your answer is the same as the customers who choose not to buy from you…

Hey @solulynn25

I’m going to be straight with you about what’s going wrong. People browsing but not buying means your store has trust and usability issues. Let me break down what I’m seeing.

Your menu has “Couples” and “Husband and Wife” categories that seem to show the same products. That’s confusing. Clean up your navigation so categories are clear and distinct. Also, some products are showing up in multiple parent categories where they don’t belong. Organize your catalog properly so people can actually find what they’re looking for without getting lost.

Your product images are all different sizes. That looks unprofessional and makes people question the legitimacy of your store. Standardize everything so your site looks cohesive and trustworthy. Presentation matters, especially when you’re selling Christian apparel and positive message products where trust is everything.

You’re selling tshirts, hoodies, mugs, cuban link chains, bottles, fragrance candles, necklaces, and more. That’s a lot of different product types. The positive message and Christian focus ties it together, but you need to communicate that emotional connection stronger. People aren’t just buying a tshirt with a Bible verse, they’re buying something that represents their faith and values. Show people wearing your apparel, using your products in their daily lives, feeling uplifted by the messages. Create that connection.

Your cart is redirecting people to a separate page when they add something. That’s breaking the shopping flow and causing abandonment. Switch to a slider cart that opens on the same page. When someone adds a Christian tshirt, keep them browsing so they might add a mug or necklace too. Make it seamless.

Add a progress bar in that cart showing how close they are to free shipping. When someone from Germany or anywhere else sees they’re twenty dollars away, they might add another item to hit it. Without that indicator, they just leave with nothing.

Show complementary products in the cart. Someone adds a hoodie with a positive message, show them a matching mug or candle. Someone grabs a cuban link chain, suggest a tshirt or bottle that fits the faith-based theme. Help them build their order.

Don’t install separate apps for cart features. You’re already overwhelmed and getting bombarded by people trying to sell you fixes. Something like iCart handles all your cart customization in one affordable app instead of multiple subscriptions.

On the scam concern, that’s probably happening because your site has trust issues. Add clear contact information, an about page that tells your story and mission, customer service policies, return policies, security badges. Make it obvious you’re a real person running a legitimate Christian business. The faith-based angle should help, but only if you lean into it authentically with your story.

For the estimated delivery date, most themes have apps or code snippets available. Search your theme’s documentation or look for delivery date apps like Stellar in the Shopify app store. Don’t try to custom code it yourself if you’re not technical.

Stop entertaining every person who messages saying they can fix your store for money. Most are scammers or overpriced agencies. Fix the basics first: clean navigation, consistent images, slider cart, progress bar, better trust signals. Do that yourself or find one reputable Shopify expert, not every random person who contacts you.

Your passion for the positive message and Christian apparel is clear. Now make your store reflect that same care and professionalism so people trust you enough to buy.

Why do you say i am a dropshipper, i do create the designs, some of the designs people ask me for specifically and i am working on creating more designs that they can customize themselves. Most of these products come from Printify or CustomCat and ShineOn not dropshipper suppliers. I also purchase my own products to test the vendors and products. I am hiring someone to help with the instagram and pinterest and etsy posting , working on that this week as a matter a fact. How do new stores gain buyers trust?

Hi @solulynn25

Visitors tend to drop off when trust indicators feel scant so beef up your About page, shipping information and product descriptions. Streamline your navigation and draw attention to your top sellers. Include clear delivery estimates using a tiny theme script that calculates dates on the fly. Consistency in content and looks overall makes your visitors feel confident for your store.

That’s what Printify is. Dropshipping. You don’t ship to the customer. The printer company ships to the customer. That’s called dropshipping. The market for that is beyond saturated. Just think how easy it was for you to sign up…. Don’t you think other people have done the same? Do you have any idea how many dropshippers like you have come here asking why they don’t get sales? Look for yourself. The search :magnifying_glass_tilted_left: will tell you the truth.

Do you know what a Gildan 5000 is? It’s the cheapest shirt on the market. $2.30 if you know where to buy. Add $1 for printing cost and you’re looking at a $4 shirt. That’s how much a printed Gildan 5000 is worth. The quality of the g500 is unbearable to most people. It’s heavy, not breathable, and it’s the cheapest cotton. Have you compared it to something like Next Level 3900? Not even in the same ballpark. Which makes me think you have done zero research on the matter.

Printify doesn’t even print the clothes. They send it to someone else. And remember, they’re your customers and you have nothing to do with their order. It’s not like you are waiting on materials so you can make the product. You literally have zero interest or input in your own customer’s order.

So let’s simplify this a bit. You’re dropshipping through companies like Printify (which has horrible standards), offering the cheapest products, with prints that are easily copied onto hundreds of other websites (yes I checked). How is that a noble thing to do? How is that right in your mind?

Just take a look at this CraftPro Mug and Tumbler Transfer Machine Heat Press | Heat Press Nation – HeatPressNation This mug and tumbler heat press could make your business. You can order sublimation or dtf prints from places like Quick Transfers and Ninja Transers, press them at home, and ship them out yourself. Custom designs by you, pressed by you, shipped by you. Sunday Market? You could be there after church with your own vendor booth, greeting everyone with a smile, handing out personalized gift baskets.

Or sign up for Printify and wonder why you don’t get sales…

Business requires research, dedication, hard work, and investment.

I appreciate your insights, I signed up with an ecommerce training organization and they originally had their developers set up my shop. I was also given direction from their mentors that suggested Facebook, Printify and Etsy . I have purchased shirts from Printify and one I ordered was smaller than what they said, I also did comparisons with Printfy and CustomCat. I found CustomCat more difficult to deal with because they cost more. I know that Printful prints their own products and Printify sources out to various vendors. I have asked for suggestions from various T-shirt Designers and they have suggested Printify also and one used Gildan and another by an American. I do want a quality product to go out, but I am learning. I was told that I am not advertising and that is why I am not getting sales. I will look at ordering from Printful instead of Printify and sample their products and process and quality for myself first.
Thanks again.

Hi, I hope you’re doing great.
Please open your theme, go to Edit Theme, then locate and click on the Hero Banner section. After that, Click Custom CSS and add
.button:before{

box-shadow: none !important;

}
there, then check the result. I hope the shadow will be removed, but if you still notice the shadow, please let me know and I’ll share a more detailed solution.

I have not but in more code - issue the 1st of the 3 is the only button working now. buttons 2 and 3 are locked they are disabled

also not sure what screen you are looking at this path is not correct on my side go to Edit Theme, then locate and click on the Hero Banner section. After that, Click Custom CSS

I found the Custom CSS


The only change was the links inside the button look like straight links , the BOX is still around covering other words

ALSO I figured out the issue with the link, it is my fault not the codes , i modified the page links the buttons were going to so the URL links were missing , MY FAULT
