Don’t Wait! Let’s Talk.

You’re already spending time and money to get people to your store. But if they aren’t converting, what’s the point?

At RedShift, we don’t just help you drive traffic, we help you monetize it. Our Shopify Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) service is built to uncover why people aren’t buying, and fix it. We focus on ongoing conversion optimization as a strategic process, continuously testing and refining your website to maximize user engagement and sales.

With real testing, behavior data, and conversion psychology, we make your store easier to shop, faster to buy from, and harder to abandon. Website’s responsiveness and page speed are critical for delivering a seamless user experience, reducing bounce rates, and increasing conversions, especially on mobile devices.

Why Shopify CRO Matters More Than Ever

Shopify makes it easy to launch. But scaling takes more than a good product and a pretty theme. Every step in your funnel from product page to checkout is an opportunity to lose a customer… or convert one.

Common signs you need CRO:

  • High traffic, low sales
  • Lots of cart adds, few checkouts
  • Mobile visitors bouncing fast, which often signals the need for a mobile friendly website
  • Customers dropping off at payment, highlighting the importance of optimizing the checkout page

We identify friction, confusion, and distractions and remove them one by one. Understanding the user journey is key to spotting and eliminating these friction points.

Understanding Conversion Rates

Conversion rates are the heartbeat of any e-commerce business, showing the percentage of website visitors who complete a desired action, whether that’s making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or adding a product to their cart. Knowing your conversion rate is essential for understanding how effectively your store turns traffic into revenue. The average conversion rate for ecommerce stores typically falls between 2% and 5%, but this number can vary depending on your industry and audience. By closely monitoring your conversion rates, you can pinpoint where visitors drop off and implement targeted strategies to boost conversions. Ultimately, understanding and improving your conversion rate means more value from every visitor and a stronger bottom line.

Setting Up for CRO Success

Laying the groundwork for successful conversion rate optimization (CRO) starts with a deep understanding of user behavior and clear conversion goals. Begin by analyzing how customers interact with your store, what draws them in, where they hesitate, and what drives them to complete a purchase. Tracking your conversion rates provides a baseline to measure progress and identify opportunities for rate optimization. Focus on optimizing your product pages to highlight value, streamline the checkout process to reduce friction, and use social proof like reviews and testimonials to build trust. By aligning your CRO efforts with real customer behavior and leveraging proven tactics, you set your Shopify store up for sustainable growth and more conversions.

What’s Included in Our Shopify CRO Service

Conversion Audit & Funnel Mapping

We start with a deep dive into how users interact with your store, across devices and traffic sources. This includes analyzing by traffic source, such as paid ads and organic traffic, to compare performance and identify opportunities.
  • Add-to-cart and checkout flow analysis
  • Scroll maps, heatmaps, and click maps
  • Behavior recordings (mouse movements, taps)
  • Review of Shopify analytics, Google Analytics, and session data to track conversions and monitor your own conversion rate
  • Tracking payment information as a key conversion event to better understand customer behavior and measure sales success
  • Friction points, abandonment spots, and exit paths
We don’t guess. We use real user behavior to build a hypothesis-backed CRO roadmap.

Landing Page & UX Optimization

We optimize your highest-impact pages to make decisions easier, reduce anxiety, and guide customers toward checkout.
  • Product page layout enhancements
  • Clear CTAs, trust signals, and mobile UX improvements
  • Bundles, upsells, and cross-sell strategy
  • Copy edits based on buyer psychology
  • Simplified layouts and loading speed improvements (some enhancements are nice to have but can significantly impact performance)
  • Optimizing landing pages for specific campaigns to maximize conversions with targeted messaging and reduced navigation
  • Improving web page quality using automated tool analysis (e.g., Google Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights) for better speed, responsiveness, and user experience
  • Enhancing search bar and site search functionality for easier navigation, dynamic suggestions, and increased conversions
  • Using pop-ups to display an available coupon code and incentivize purchases
The goal? Less hesitation. More conversions.

Optimizing Product Pages

Your product pages are where decisions are made, so every detail counts. To maximize your conversion rate, ensure your product pages feature high-quality product images, multiple photos, and clear, compelling descriptions that answer customer questions. Use heat maps and user recordings to see exactly how shoppers interact with your pages, revealing which elements capture attention and which may cause confusion. With global web traffic increasingly coming from mobile devices, it’s crucial to make your product pages mobile-friendly, ensuring fast load times and easy navigation. By continuously refining your product pages based on real user data, you create a seamless experience that turns browsers into buyers.

A/B Testing & Data-Backed Experiments

CRO is not opinion, it’s a measurement. We test what matters, track what works, and scale what performs.
  • A/B and multivariate tests, including b tests that compare two versions of a page to determine which performs better
  • Split testing on product pages, headers, buttons, and layouts
  • Experiment tracking and reporting
  • User segments and device-specific optimizations

The goal of these experiments is to increase conversion rates and increase conversion by optimizing website elements and user experiences.

Every change we make either lifts conversion rate — or it doesn’t. No fluff.

Checkout Optimization & Cart Recovery

Your checkout should be fast, focused, and frictionless. We streamline every step.
  • Review and edit checkout flow settings, including optimizing your Shopify checkout for a user-friendly experience and enabling guest checkout to reduce friction for all customer segments.
  • Optimize payment button hierarchy
  • Add urgency and trust messaging
  • Recover revenue with email and SMS automation, sending targeted messages to remind customers to complete their purchase.
  • Integrate cart abandonment recovery with your CRM or Klaviyo
  • Use pop-ups or checkout prompts to display a coupon code or discount, boosting conversions by incentivizing customers at key moments.

The final steps matter most. We make sure they work for you, not against you. Optimizing the checkout process not only reduces cart abandonment but also helps convert new customers who might otherwise leave before completing their purchase.

Measuring and Tracking CRO Success

To truly improve conversion rates, you need to measure what matters. Google Analytics is an essential tool for tracking website visitors, monitoring conversion rates, and understanding customer behavior across your site. Set up conversion tracking to see which pages and campaigns drive the most conversions, and use form analytics to identify where users drop off in the process. User recordings provide a window into the customer journey, highlighting pain points and opportunities for improvement. By regularly reviewing these metrics and analyzing the results of your CRO efforts, you can make informed decisions that continually improve conversion and drive more sales for your Shopify store.
