Plug in your numbers. See exactly how much monthly and annual revenue your Shopify store is leaving on the table at its current conversion rate. Math runs in your browser — nothing is logged, nothing is sent anywhere.
You're currently making $2,730/month. At your target CVR, you'd make $4,875/month. You're leaving $2,145/month on the table — that's $25,740/year.
The number is the easy part. The hard part is knowing which of your 8 ecommerce categories is dragging your CVR down. That's what the audit is for.

For the average Shopify store doing meaningful traffic, moving from 1.4% to 2.4% is the single highest-leverage CRO move available — and it's almost always achievable inside 90 days with focused fixes. We've broken down exactly how in our essay on why your Shopify store isn't converting.
Conversion rate varies meaningfully by category. A $300 furniture purchase and a $25 t-shirt purchase don't share buying psychology, and they shouldn't share a benchmark. Use this table as a sanity check, not a verdict — your own historical CVR is still the most important number you have.
| Industry | Approx. Median CVR | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fashion & Apparel | ~1.3% | High return rate, sizing friction |
| Health & Beauty | ~1.8% | Strong repeat-purchase tailwind |
| Electronics | ~1.2% | High consideration, comparison-heavy |
| Food & Drink | ~2.1% | Lower AOV, faster decisions |
| Home & Garden | ~1.5% | Image-heavy, slower path to purchase |
These are approximate benchmarks compiled from publicly reported Shopify and Littledata figures and should be read as ranges, not exact targets. Your AOV, traffic source mix, and brand recognition all push the number around.
Five fixes that move the number more than anything else, in rough order of how often they're the actual bottleneck.
Most Shopify product pages lead with the product name. The best ones lead with the result the customer wants."Merino crew sock" describes;"The sock you'll buy ten of" sells. This is usually the single highest-ROI change on the page.
If your reviews live in a tab three scrolls down, you're hiding your strongest trust signal in the worst possible place. Move at least the star count and a couple of customer photos into the first viewport.
Stores with Shop Pay enabled convert roughly 18% higher on average, per Shopify's own data. This is the rare CRO fix that takes five minutes and ships measurable lift the same week.
Every Shopify app you install adds JavaScript to every page load, whether the app is being used or not. Audit your apps, uninstall anything you haven't opened in 60 days, and watch your mobile load time drop.
You will find at least one piece of friction you didn't know existed. Time it. Anything over three minutes from add-to-cart to order-complete is leaking conversions.
