Getting more visitors is expensive. Converting a bigger share of the visitors you already have is often faster and cheaper. Here is a practical checklist for WooCommerce stores, from product page to checkout.
Product pages
1. Great photos, several angles
Shoppers cannot touch the product. Show it in use, in detail and in scale.
2. Descriptions that answer questions
Materials, dimensions, compatibility, delivery time. Every unanswered question is a reason to leave.
3. A size guide for clothing and shoes
It reduces hesitation and returns. See how to add a size guide.
4. Keep Add to cart in reach on mobile
A sticky add to cart bar follows shoppers down long pages.
Trust and social proof
5. Show real reviews
Ask every customer for a review after delivery and display them on product pages.
6. Show real recent sales
Discreet recent sales notifications built from real orders reassure new visitors.
7. Make policies visible
Delivery times, returns and secure payment, near the price and in the footer.
Urgency and incentives
8. Honest countdowns
A countdown based on real sale end dates gives a reason to buy now.
9. A reachable free shipping threshold
A free shipping progress bar encourages one more item.
10. Announce promotions everywhere
An announcement bar makes sure no visitor misses your offer.
Never lose a sale to stock
11. Back in stock alerts
Turn sold-out pages into future sales with back in stock notifications.
Checkout
12. Remove friction
Allow guest checkout, ask only for necessary fields, offer the payment methods your customers use, and make sure everything works perfectly on phones.
