Step 4: Optimize your online store


A fully optimized online store can drive conversion rates and quickly boost sales. Therefore, in
this section, we will provide you the ultimate ways to leverage your store, especially on the Cart
and Checkout page.

1. Show discount policies and countdown timers


Instead of just showing product prices, sellers should display the Original selling price and the
Discounted price (Compare at price) next to each other.
Moreover, you should add a countdown timer to show the scarcity and urge your customers to
buy faster before this product is running out.

To install the Countdown Timer, download Boost Convert from ShopBase App Store to set up,
the countdown timer will be displayed on your store.

2. Highlight the “Call to Action” (CTA) button


CTA (Call-to-action) is the Add to cart or Buy Now button on the product page.
The Add to cart button should always be on the 1st screen. In other words, make sure that your
customers see the button Add this cart as soon as they enter a product page.

You should design your Call to Action button in red, green or yellow to create a sense of
excitement and urgency for shoppers to buy your products.

To highlight Call to action button, you can:

● Click Theme in the Online Store section, then move on to the Settings part.

● Customize it in the section Product Grid.

Instead of providing general information, you should add a description as clearly and neatly as
possible, making sure your customers actively find the information they need.
4. Add trust badges
To enhance customer engagement and induce brand loyalty, your store must be trustworthy.
Therefore, you need to build trust amongst potential customers through trust badges so that they
feel secure spending money on your products.
ShopBase has the option to display trust badges on the product page and checkout page for all
current themes.

5. Optimize checkout page


Checkout abandonment is one of the pressing issues that every online retailer wants to avoid.
This situation often occurs because customers are forced to register themselves before making
any purchases. Those who are not comfortable providing their personal information and find it
worthless to fill in long forms just for a single purchase, thus opt out.

Therefore, apart from trust badges, you can also add a countdown timer and Why choose us
