Traffic arrives, but the checkout journey leaks
Challenge
A store is paying for traffic and getting visits, but a large share of sessions end on the product page or in the cart without an order being placed.
Store situation
Product pages carry thin copy and unclear shipping information, the cart requires several taps to reach checkout on mobile, and trust signals appear only after payment details are requested.
Strategy
Work the funnel in the order money is lost: product page clarity first, then cart and checkout friction, then post-purchase reassurance. Change one thing at a time so the effect of each change stays readable.
Implementation
- Rewrite product page structure: price, variant, shipping and returns visible without scrolling
- Reduce cart-to-checkout steps and enable express payment options
- Add returns, delivery and support information above the fold on mobile
- Track add-to-cart, checkout-start and purchase separately to find the real drop point
What this is designed to change
- Fewer sessions abandoned at product-page level
- A shorter, clearer path from cart to payment
- A measurable baseline so future changes can be judged, not guessed
