Create a Trustworthy Shopify Store with This Checklist

Create a Trustworthy Shopify Store with This Checklist

Getting customers to trust you is important if you want your online store to do well. If your customers don't feel safe and welcome, they probably won't stay and buy anything.

When people trust your store and brand, you can expect the following:

  • More sales and conversions
  • Fewer carts left behind
  • More repeat orders
  • Stronger brand loyalty

So, how do we make this happen? In this blog, we'll give you a list of things to do to build trust in your Shopify store among your customers.

1. First impressions are important

The home page of your website is like the front door of your business. If it doesn't look good when people first see it, they will leave. Customers often start their journey with your homepage, so it's an important place to gain their trust. It should show what your brand is about and point people in the right direction.

Make sure your homepage has these:

  • Captivating copy and imagery
  • Clear layout
  • Navigation by category
  • Pages that load quickly and have no mistakes (eg. broken links)

2. Provide essential information

Next, you should consider your product pages. When a customer leaves the home page, they usually go straight to a page about a product. This is where they decide what the product is worth to them and if it will work for them.

Getting the layout and design of your product page right is important if you want to influence a customer's decision. Make sure to include pictures, descriptions, stock details, and shipping information to get their attention. If you give your customer all the important information, you will start to build trust with them.

Make sure your product pages have the following:

  • A variety of product pictures
  • Product descriptions
  • Product demo video
  • A size guide
  • Recent comments and reviews
  • Returns policy

3. Make sure the transaction is easy

Getting rid of things that stand in the way of a customer making a purchase is another way to build trust. Make sure that your checkout process is easy and smooth, and that any extra costs, like shipping and taxes, are clear. Also, offer different ways to pay, to make it easier and get rid of any problems.

You should have the following on your checkout page:

  • A clear policy for returns
  • Make shipping costs clear
  • Alternative ways to pay
  • Optional tracking of order status
  • Discounts and rewards for more sales

4. Communicate assurance

Security is another important part of getting customers to trust your business. Customers won't buy from you if they don't feel comfortable giving you their personal information or entering their credit card information.

Make sure your Shopify store has the following:

  • Signs of trust
  • Security with SSL
  • An informative and detailed FAQ page
  • Third-party recommendations (eg. Google)

5. Tell us your story

For customers to trust you, you have to tell them your story. It can give them peace of mind that your business is real. They want to know what your business stands for, how long it has been around, and what plans it has for the future. They also want to know something about the people who run your business behind the scenes.

Most of the time, customers will look at your "About Us" page to learn about your business and your "Contact" page to see if you are a real company.

Make sure you have:

  • A detailed brand story on the "About Us" page
  • A Contact Page with a phone number, a professional email address, and a physical location (if you have one)
  • A way to talk to you in real-time

6. Build social proof

Adding social proof to your Shopify store is a great way to build trust with your customers. For example, you should put reviews, testimonials, and ratings from customers on your product pages and on the page where people pay for their purchases. Make sure to include feedback that is real and honest, so that your customers will believe you.

If you don't have reviews, customers will go to social media to find out what others think of your brand and decide if you can be trusted. Remember that how people feel in a neighborhood can make or break a sale.

Make sure your Shopify store has the following:

  • Products with positive feedback
  • Product reviews posted on social media and external websites (like Facebook, Google, Yelp, Amazon, eBay, etc.) that are mostly positive
  • Reviews of products that give details about the quality of the product and how the customer liked it
  • Review of customer service
  • Ratings

To conclude

Getting customers to trust your Shopify store is important if you want to make more sales, keep them from leaving items in their carts, and build a loyal following for your brand. If you follow our simple tips, your online store will take off.
