Shopify audits & improvements

We find why your Shopify store isn't converting, and fix it in the theme.

Every finding shows where it happens on your store, what to change, and how to tell it's done. Then we make the fixes in your theme, or your developer works from the report.

01The problem

Traffic, but no sales? Every lost sale has a why.

why is my shopify store not converting
shopify traffic but no sales
people visit but don't buy
is my shopify store too slow

When the visits are there and the orders aren't, the reason is often on the store itself. Something a shopper sees, misreads, or can't find on a phone. More ads send more people to the same page.

The audit looks in four places, with proof from your own pages.

Conversion

Why do shoppers leave the product page?

Photos, price, options and the buy button, checked on a real phone, the way a first-time buyer meets them.

  • Buy button reach
  • Preselected options
  • Shipping and returns
Conversion

Why do carts stop before payment?

Costs that appear late, surprises in the cart, and every extra step up to the payment page.

  • Delivery cost and time
  • Cart surprises
  • Checkout up to payment
Speed

Why does the store feel slow on phones?

What loads first, what blocks the page, and which apps and scripts add seconds to every product page.

  • Phone load times
  • Apps and scripts
  • Images
SEO · AI search

Why don't Google and ChatGPT show your products?

Whether search engines and AI search tools can reach and read your products, prices and policies.

  • Indexing and titles
  • Product data
  • AI crawler access
02Inside the report

Every finding answers the same questions.

No generic checklist. Each finding is one specific problem on your store, written so you or any developer can act on it.

1What we saw

The problem, on your store

What happens on the page, described step by step, with a marked screenshot from a phone or desktop.

From finding 1When the page opens, 'Subscribe and save' is selected, not 'One-Time Purchase', and the button reads 'Start a new Subscription'.
2What to change

The fix, in plain words

Exactly what should be different. Not a principle to think about, but a change someone can make.

From finding 1Open the page with 'One-Time Purchase' selected, or with neither option selected, and keep the subscription saving visible next to it so the shopper chooses it.
3Done when

A clear finish line

What you will see on the store once the fix is in, so nobody has to argue about whether it's done.

From finding 1The product page opens with the one-time purchase selected, or with no purchase option selected.
4How to test it

A way to check it worked

For the Do now fixes: what to watch in your own analytics before and after the change, so the result is yours to measure.

From finding 1Watch in your analytics how many first orders contain a subscription, and how many subscriptions are canceled within the first 30 days, before and after the change.

06Is it a fit?

Built for stores that already sell, and want to sell better.

A good fit

  • A live Shopify or Shopify Plus store
  • A few months of sales and steady traffic
  • Visitors come, but not enough of them buy
  • You want clear answers, and the fixes done in the theme

Not a fit

  • Stores that haven't launched yet
  • Platforms other than Shopify
  • Building a new store from scratch
  • Ads, email marketing or link building
07Questions

Before you ask.

Do you need access to my store?

Not for the audit. It reviews your public store the way a shopper sees it, on a phone and on a desktop. Access is only needed later, if you order fixes, and then the work happens on a copy of your theme.

Will my conversion rate go up?

Nobody can honestly promise a number before seeing your data, so we don't. What you get is specific problems with specific fixes, each with a “Done when”, and for the most important ones what to watch in your own analytics.

How long does it take?

Every audit report, full or single, arrives within 7 business days of the start date, and all your questions are answered for 30 days after delivery. Optimization takes 2–4 weeks for the full store and 1–2 weeks for one area, on the date in your quote.

Do I have to buy the fixes from you?

No. Each finding says what to change and when it counts as done, so your own developer can work from the report. If you'd rather we make the fixes, order the optimization within 30 days of receiving your report and get 20% off.

What happens to my live store during fixes?

Nothing, until you say so. Changes are made on a copy of your theme, you review them, and they go live only after your approval.

Does it work with my theme?

Yes, for Shopify and Shopify Plus stores on any Online Store 2.0 theme, including Dawn, Horizon, Prestige, Impulse, Impact, Broadcast, Symmetry, and third-party themes like Ella, Minimog, Kalles, Wokiee and Shrine PRO. Older or heavily customized themes we check first, and we tell you what is possible before quoting any fixes.

How do I start?

Send a short inquiry with your store's address. You'll get the next steps by email. If your store isn't a fit, we'll say so. Or email hello@cartwhy.com.

Find out why.
Then fix it.

Paste your store's address to get started.

No payment to inquire, no sales call needed.
