The store-readiness checklist

The playbook closes with the benchmarks a store should hit before its next growth push.

  1. Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds on mobile
  2. Express checkout with Shop Pay and other wallets
  3. Personalisation on product pages
  4. Search metadata complete on every template
  5. A lean core app stack, with no duplicates
  6. UX tested on every screen size

What separates the stores that scale

The stores that grow on Shopify are rarely the ones with the most apps or the most elaborate themes. They are the ones that load quickly on a phone, make checkout effortless, and treat product data and search as seriously as design.

This playbook sets out what those stores do differently and turns it into a checklist you can measure your own store against. If the gaps it reveals are bigger than a quick fix, our conversion rate optimisation and Shopify Plus work is where to look next.

Watch out for

Where checkouts leak

The playbook's checkout framework, in short. Each is a point where a ready buyer drops off.

  • Express checkout buried

    Shop Pay and wallet buttons belong where the buyer decides, not below the fold.

  • Trust signals missing

    Security, returns and delivery information should be visible at the point of purchase.

  • Too many form fields

    Every field that is not essential is another reason to leave.

  • No reason to come back

    Without exit-intent and abandoned-cart flows, a lost buyer stays lost.

Who it is for

  • D2C brands planning their next phase on Shopify
