3 Ways to Increase Your Shopify Conversion Rate

Improving your conversion rate is one of the easiest ways to increase your profits with dropshipping. You’ve already managed to convince these people to spend their valuable time on your website and all that is left is to convert them to customers.

As a store owner, it’s your job to ensure that customers have an enjoyable experience on your site that makes them more likely to purchase. This article will cover three tried and tested methods to increase your conversion rate.

As a budget alternative, you could opt to filter your products on photo editing apps such as Snapseed. You’ll be amazed at the impact that improved lighting will have on your photo quality.
