If you're still using basic Shopify carts, I got bad news for you...
You're getting outrun by stores that actually optimize their cart.
The same brand with the same product can generate a higher AOV simply by adding a free-shipping threshold, smart upsells, and clear savings directly in the cart.
And this is just the lower end of what's possible.
You just need to come up with multiple potential offers, upsells, and incentives, then test them on your store to see what actually moves the needle.
Here's a mockup-only concept our team created for Swarneo Jamun Fruit Bites.
Before is the basic Shopify cart experience.
After is the conversion-focused cart structure we typically design, custom-build, and test for ecommerce brands we work with.
The goal?
Turn the cart from a simple checkout step into another opportunity to increase AOV and conversions.
Shopify Store Redesign & CRO Strategy for CN1 Fragrance
CN1 Fragrance partnered with us to transform its Shopify store through a conversion-focused redesign of its Collection Page and Shopify product page.
The project combined Shopify store design, Shopify CRO, competitor research, and premium UX/UI strategy to strengthen product discovery, improve trust, and increase subscription engagement. Every design decision was backed by behavioral insights and conversion best practices to create a premium Shopify website design that encourages higher customer confidence and stronger sales performance.
Shopify website setup project, I created a premium eCommerce homepage concept for a startup beauty brand.
Using Lovable, I developed a responsive design framework featuring elegant product showcases, intuitive navigation, clear shopping CTAs, ingredient storytelling, product benefits, customer review sections, FAQs, and email capture.
The goal was to establish a professional brand presence, simplify product discovery, and create a conversion-focused foundation for Shopify development.
The soft neutral palette suits the skincare angle really well, and the best sellers section with the star ratings reads cleanly across all three device mockups. Building the whole concept in Lovable is interesting. Did the generated layout hold up responsively out of the box, or did you rework parts of it by hand?
