Need Advice: High Traffic (800+ Sessions) but Low Conversion - Payment & Trust Issues (KR-based Shopify)

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Hi experts, I’m running a home decor store (https://shophabitroom.store/) from South Korea. My TikTok/IG traffic jumped 103% (821 sessions), but sales are stagnant. I suspect two main bottlenecks:

  1. Payment Trust: I use Paymentwall (Visa/Master pending since March 16) and PayPal is only “Partially active.” Since I’m not US-based, I can’t use Shopify Payments. Are there better alternatives for KR merchants to accept global cards reliably?

  2. Conversion & UX:

    • Pricing: Do my $XX.43-style prices look like untrustworthy dropshipping? Should I round them?

    • Social Proof: I currently lack reviews. How critical is this for Gen Z home decor shoppers?

    • Trust Signals: My contact is a Gmail address. Does this kill my brand credibility?

I’d appreciate any feedback on turning this ‘social media hype’ into actual revenue. Thanks!"
