One email. 21 orders. £4,054.85 recovered. 🛒
Most online stores lose sales every day to people who add to cart, then leave.
For a client's Shopify store, I set up a "You left items in your cart" email using Shopify Email. No Klaviyo, no extra monthly app.
The results:
📧 382 emails sent, 100% delivered
👀 55% open rate
🖱️ 10.2% click rate
🛍️ 21 orders from those clicks
💷 £4,054.85 in sales
📈 33.3% session-to-order conversion
🚫 0% unsubscribes, 0% spam
Shopify's built-in tools are enough to recover revenue. You just need to set up the trigger, the timing, and the message properly.
Is your store sending an abandoned cart email yet? Comment "CART" and I'll tell you what to check first.

A 55% open rate and 33% session-to-order conversion with no extra app is a strong proof point. Was that subject line the first version, or did you test a few before it?

Shopify CRO & Product Page Redesign for The Perfume Brand
The Perfume Brand partnered with us to improve the performance of its Shopify product pages by redesigning how bundle offers were presented to customers. The project combined competitor research, Shopify CRO, and Shopify website design improvements to create a clearer buying experience that encouraged larger purchases. The updated bundle interface strengthened product presentation, improved shopping confidence, and supported higher average order value while maintaining the brand's premium identity.
Bundles are where perfume stores win or lose average order value. Did you see more people choosing the mid-tier bundle once it was redesigned? In my experience, anchoring with a 'most popular' option does a lot of the work.
Over the past month, I've been spending more time exploring Shopify store design and thinking about what makes an online store work well.
One thing that stands out to me is that good e-commerce design involves much more than appearance.
I've been paying closer attention to:
→ How a homepage guides visitors
→ How product pages present important information
→ How collections help customers discover products
→ How navigation affects the shopping experience
→ How a store adapts to mobile screens
→ How consistent design builds a stronger brand experience
I'm also learning to think more carefully about the purpose behind each section instead of designing just because something looks good.
Every page should have a reason to exist, and every design decision should contribute to the overall experience.
I still have more to learn and improve, but each project gives me another opportunity to practice, experiment, and develop my approach.
My biggest takeaway so far: good Shopify design brings visual presentation, usability, and the customer's journey together.
What's one thing you believe every e-commerce designer should understand?
Understanding customer behavior is key to creating better shopping experiences. 👏
