I went from getting tons of sales to none

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner experienced a sudden drop from 3-7 daily sales to zero, despite customers adding items to carts and reaching checkout. One product variant sold out, but other variants remain available.

Key observations:

  • High cart abandonment at checkout stage
  • Traffic appears maintained, but conversions stopped

Suggested improvements from community:

  • Add “Explore more” buttons to reduce bounce rates
  • Make pricing more prominent (bold/colored text)
  • Include “Add to cart” buttons on product displays
  • Use lifestyle/lookbook imagery alongside product photos
  • Display return policy and estimated delivery dates on product pages

Shared experiences:
Another seller reported identical sudden sales drops despite increased sessions, suggesting broader platform or seasonal factors. Contributing factors identified include:

  • Marketing funnel cycles and Facebook algorithm fluctuations
  • Seasonality, timing, and weather patterns
  • Recent website/SEO changes
  • Potential technical checkout issues

Status: The discussion remains open with no definitive cause identified. Participants suggest monitoring performance over longer periods rather than reacting to short-term fluctuations.
