I see you decided to optimize your product pages. Well, congratulation because your product pages are the most critical in your store. They are the pages where your customer decides whether to buy or not to buy.
It’s true that after the product pages, you have the cart page and the checkout page, and many people leave at these stages, but still, your product pages are critical because they are the pages where your customers stay the most and where they make up their minds.
We will start first to understand what people hate the most when shopping online. This will help you figure out what might be missing in your product pages.
Many things can stop people from buying online, but there are 2 common objections that most people experience.
To improve your product pages and increase your conversion rate, you should be fighting these objections and finding the right solutions for them.

Paying for Shipping is not something anyone loves doing. That is why many people drop their purchases when they know that they must pay extra fees.
Offering Free Shipping can significantly improve your store conversion rate. So the perfect case is to offer Free Shipping for all orders, but for some businesses, this isn't easy, and in this case, I highly recommend you offer free Shipping with conditions.
For example, you can offer Free Shipping for orders above 100$ or 200$, depending on your customer's location or business conditions.
But it's essential to offer this option to your customers.
They will genuinely appreciate that and be motivated to reach the Free Shipping Threshold. This will help you increase your conversion rate, and at the same time, you will increase your cart value or your Average Order Value.
We can’t change the fact that we are selling online. To fight this objection we need to create the best customer experience ever and to help the customer to be able to see the product and to feel it even if they are only shopping online.
How we can do that?
We do that by providing high-quality images and videos of the product, with very detailed descriptions.

Now that you know the objections that might stop people from buying from you let's see how to optimize your product page.
Your product page should contain all the valuable information your potential customers might be searching for or need to decide to buy your product.
Keep this in mind while optimizing your pages because this will significantly guide you in the right direction.
This is the part that your customer sees before scrolling down, and in there, you should include your most valuable information.
The more you can include, the better. Do your best to fit your most valuable information most slightly and shortly as possible. Below is a list of things you should have:
After finishing with the above-the-fold page now, we move to the remaining parts of the page.
I recommend including tabs or sections and dividing your information into these tabs.
In this way, you will make your page more user-friendly, and I will make it easier for your customer to get the information, try to present the info attractively, and use infographics. Because infographics offer data in a concise, small package, consuming and processing the data becomes easier.
Here is a list of sections that you can add:
Take your time creating and designing your product pages, especially since now, with Shopify online store 2.0, it has become way easier to create and customize good pages.
