We know how to increase conversion rates. We have put together some killer strategies to make your eCommerce shop make more money.
Enable Social Login for Seamless Checkout and Account Creation
Any checkout process introduces leaks in your conversion funnel – tightening up those leaks increases conversion rate and improves your sales. Account creation and entering checkout information can cause these leaks, and Social Login can help you patch them.
When a customer first visits your site, you can simplify checkout by allowing them to check out as a guest. However, this introduces friction for customers that want to purchase from your store more than once (and hopefully many of them do!). They’ll have to create yet another username and password. Commerce Social Login makes this process as easy and secure as possible – customers can log into your site using their Facebook, Twitter, Google, or Amazon accounts instead of creating a new user account credentials.
Why Use Social Login?
- Integrate your store’s customer accounts with Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Amazon
- Make account access and checkout easy and seamless – customers don’t need to remember another username and password
- Reduce friction for repeat purchases – customers typically stay signed into social networks, which means they stay signed into your site
- Improve security and increase trust by using social sign-on
- Over 77% of consumers prefer social login when using an eCommerce site.
- Social sign-in can therefore lead to increased conversion rates – here’s an example with over 10% increase.
- Customers prefer social sign-in for security and personalization.
- 90% of people have encountered social login before, and more than half of people use it.
- Social accounts are tied to a WordPress user account so that accounts can be accessed even if social accounts are unlinked.
Increase your conversion rate by seeing how your customers browse your Commerce store
The Customer History extension for Commerce observes how your customers browse through your Commerce store, as well as keeping a full purchase history log, and calculating the total customer lifetime value.
Key Features
- Observe how your customers browse your store and which screens they visit before they purchase.
- Track the total customer lifetime value for each customer.
- View insights about your customer’s browsing habits on your website, to see which screens work best for targeted conversions.
Display Instagram photographs of your products, based on a hashtag.
We all love Instagram. We especially love showcasing images of our products, used in the wild, using the wonderful interface and filters provided by Instagram, directly on our mobile devices.
Bring these images to life on your website, by integrating Instagram photographs, tagged with a specific hashtag, directly into a grid in your content area.
Give away a free item to any customer with the coupon code
With Commerce Free Gift Coupons, you can give away a free item(s) to any customer with the correct code. This can be to reward a specific customer or to encourage customers to spend more in order to be eligble for the bonus item.
Start rewarding customers
Commerce Free Gift Coupons works very similarly to the other coupon types. Free Gift Coupons allow all the same Usage Restriction and Usage Limits as other coupon types, such as by email address, minimum cart total, etc. However, instead of a discount, the customer is rewarded with a free gift item.
The coupon is redeemed exactly like other coupons. When a coupon is applied successfully, the free gift is automatically added to the cart and the customer may continue shopping or checkout normally.
