§ 01
The numbers

Average store: 1.4%. Top 20%: 3.2%+.

£100k/mo store at 1.5% CR.

Move to 3.0% and that's £100,000 in additional monthly revenue from the same traffic. CRO is the highest-ROI investment in the Shopify stack.

79% of your traffic is mobile.

Mobile converts at roughly half of desktop. Most stores are still optimised for desktop. The single biggest CRO opportunity is mobile UX.

Your tests aren't reaching significance.

Most CRO programmes call winners on noise. We only ship statistically significant lifts — and we tell you when a test should be killed instead of declared a winner.

You've never heatmapped your own checkout.

You'd be surprised. Most £1M+ stores have a 30%+ checkout abandonment rate that's entirely fixable with a 2-week sprint.

§ 02
Process

Audit, ship, measure.

Hypothesis design

Top fixes converted to A/B test designs with sample size calculations. Stat-significant only.

Build + ship

Mobile-first PDP, sticky ATC, simplified checkout, copy A/B. Whatever the audit prioritised — we ship.

WK 04+

Measure + iterate

Tests run to significance. Winners shipped, losers documented, neutral tests killed early.

FAQ

CRO questions.

How fast will I see Shopify CRO results? +

Audit findings are immediate — within 2 weeks of starting. Implementation lifts show in 2–6 weeks depending on your traffic volume reaching statistical significance. Stores doing 100k+ sessions/month see results faster than stores doing 10k.

Will you guarantee a specific conversion rate? +

No — and we'd be cautious of anyone who does. Conversion rate depends on traffic quality, product, pricing, and seasonality, none of which a CRO agency controls. What we guarantee is process: stat-significant tests only, monthly reporting, no fake wins.

How much traffic do I need to run Shopify A/B tests? +

10,000 sessions per month is comfortable — most tests reach significance within 2–4 weeks at that volume. Below that we focus on heuristic fixes (audit-driven, mobile UX patterns, copy refinements) instead of A/B tests because the maths simply does not work for split testing.

Can you work with my existing A/B testing tool? +

Yes — Convert, Optimizely, VWO, GA4 server-side, Google Optimize successors. We pick the tool that fits your stack, traffic volume, and budget; no affiliate relationships influence the recommendation. Most clients are on Convert or VWO.

What happens to losing A/B tests? +

We document the result, archive the variant code, and tell you why we think it lost. Losers teach you more than winners and they cost only the test-build time. Roughly 35% of our tests win, 25% draw, 40% lose — that is healthy CRO programme maths.

How much does Shopify CRO cost? +

CRO Audit (one-off): £1,200. Performance Sprint (4 weeks, audit + 5 fixes implemented): £3,999. Monthly CRO retainer: £1,999/month (20 dev hours, continuous testing). Most clients start with the audit then move to retainer if there is enough scope.

Do you work on Shopify Plus stores specifically? +

Yes — Plus stores are our core CRO clientele. Plus-specific work includes Checkout Extensibility tests, Shop Pay vs guest checkout split tests, Functions-driven discount experiments, and multi-store cohort analysis. Plus retainers are typically Priority tier at £3,499/month.

Can you improve my Shopify Core Web Vitals as part of CRO? +

Yes — Core Web Vitals improvements are part of every Performance Sprint. We typically reduce LCP by 30–50% and INP by 40%. Performance correlates with conversion (every 100ms improvement is worth roughly 1% conversion lift), so it is treated as part of the CRO programme rather than a separate engagement.

Do you do Shopify CRO for B2B / wholesale stores? +

Yes — though the playbook is different from DTC CRO. B2B levers are: re-order UX, saved carts, account hierarchy navigation, PO checkout flow, trade-pricing visibility. We A/B test where traffic allows; below 5k buyer sessions/month we work heuristically with quarterly reviews.
