Hi @calenterp

Welcome to the community.

And if you think you will get some sales from posting here, you are wrong.

This is also you?

Spamming a bit?

And I will not give you feedback on a store with no real domain. Read the last 25 topics in Store feedback, you see the same mistakes that most new store owners do but also some good suggestions on how to fix them. And you might also search forum for “no sales” and “zero sales”.

The myshopify.com domain means your store isn’t live yet. You need to add a custom domain and remove the password page before anyone can actually buy from you. What are you selling exactly? Hard to give real feedback when the question is just ‘everything’ but the product choice matters way more than design at this point.

Not expection any sales from this post. Just looking for some assistance. I created my store, but what looks good to me may not look good to others, so just looking for some feedback as stated.

The other website is not me either as you can tell from the URL being different. So, No, I am not spamming since I only posted once. But since I am new and Shopify recommended I post here I did so in the hopes of finding assistance, but I guess this is not the place to find help. Sorry for bothering you.

Thanks for the information but my store is live and I have removed the password. And yes, I am selling everything it seems. It’s mostly AI generated so not sure what products they will add or not. I have added a few of my own selection, but it’s mostly AI driiven, so it is what it is I guess.

@calenterp

Apologies, my bad. Now I see 4 similar topics and checked the creation of a new topic in store feedback, and it gives you a template to start your post. Oh well.

But like mentioned, you do need a proper domain and email. myshopify.com is used only for starting testing, development, and by scammers.

For me first thing is trust signals, and what I first check is contact information. And I can not find much about your business. There is some address in the Privacy Policy and Gmail email, but it is unclear if that is yours. And dummy data in the footer and the contact us page does not help. That alone is enough for me to leave the store, because I do not have minimal trust to leave my personal and credit card data.

For the store itself, the theme looks fine, but the content needs improvement. First, setup favicon. Next, you manu is not so great. You can safely remove all items except “Contact us” and add either all 5 main collections from the footer, or add a Shop now with those 5 main collections, maybe even more sub collections. You need to help customers navigate to specific collection faster. And especially you sell a lot of different things.

Your hero banner slider is a waste of space, those titles are so random, the images are too big, and all 3 slide buttons lead to the same place. For exaple “Fitness is crazy good”, I mean really :slight_smile: and an image of a girl running OK. I click on shop now, and I get to collection/all and there is all random products for 14 pages and some other collections on the side, and no crazy fitness here. So customers will just leave.

Now next thing in general is prices. One that is not on discount looks fine, still a bit more money than on AliExpress for the same thing. And you can not compete with that, you can try but why would anyone buy from a store that does not have clear contact information, then from a known AliExpress? And for products with a discount, you are using a marketing trick but for me, that is an insult to customers. For example, tactical gloves, $56 final price and old $112. WOW 50% dicount, amazing deal, you are one of a kind… Nope, you’re still high. I know you must have your cut, but I found those for $15 on AliExpress, same sale from $50. That is also a big discount and just 4 sold so I would not buy that there either. But for price saw a few other stores from $30 to $40. So I have no idea where you got $112. And you use how that looks.

And the product page has some description and repeated images no extra information about shipping, returns, some customer reassurance, and some reviews.

Also, social icons in the footer lead to shopify account. So I am not sure how you plan to get customers. With SEO, it is very hard to stand out when there are thousands of stores with the same descriptions and titles. From social networks, none, no posts no links no customers. From ads, a waste of money, you will get some visits, but there is no trust signals. And just having products in store is not enough; they will not sell on their own.

You have a lot of work to do, plus dropshipping is very hard now compared to 5 years ago. It is so saturated that even if you have solid store, it is not enough. So again I suggest to resarch forum a bit and other store feedback posts and “no sales” and “zero sales” and learn from that, if you want.

Good luck

Hi @calenterp ,
We reviewed your store and it has a clean layout with good structure Here are some important improvement suggestions:

Design

  • Homepage banner looks good but doesn’t clearly explain your brand niche
  • Store currently feels like a general marketplace consider focusing messaging (home organization / lifestyle / fitness etc.)
  • Add a Why Choose Us section to increase trust

Product Pages

  • Add benefit-based bullet points near the Buy Now / Add to Bag button
  • Show delivery timeframe and return policy near CTA
  • Add customer reviews on product pages
  • Add trust badges below purchase buttons

SEO

  • Product titles are slightly long keep under 60 characters
  • Add meta descriptions for all products if missing
  • Add FAQ, About Us, Shipping Policy pages for better Google trust signals

Email Marketing

  • Good that newsletter signup exists
  • Add incentive like 10% off first order

Yeah that AI product approach is pretty risky since customers usually want to know they’re buying from someone who actually chose what they’re selling. Might be worth at least curating down to a niche you can speak to if someone asks questions.

Was wondering about that.

Thanks and BE SAFE!!
