But something’s missing. Those sweet, big-ticket purchases that make revenue graphs go up and to the right.

Most online store owners obsess over attracting new customers and pour money into ads, SEO, and social media.

Meanwhile, they’re ignoring the goldmine under their noses – encouraging existing customers to spend more per order.

But your store doesn’t have to be the same.

Let’s turn your checkout process from a simple transaction into a revenue generating powerhouse.

We’re going to share 14 strategies that will boost average order value without annoying customers or interrupting their journey.

What Is Average Order Value?

Average order value (AOV) tells you how much customers spend each time they shop with you. It’s one of the most important metrics in eCommerce.

The formula is simple:

AOV = Total Revenue ÷ Number of Orders

For example, if your store made $31,000 from 1,000 orders last month, your AOV is:

$31 ($31,000 ÷ 1,000 = $31)

Unlike metrics focused on individual customers, AOV measures each transaction. This makes it perfect for testing whether your sales tactics actually work.

Why AOV Matters

Any business that cares about revenue should absolutely care about growing their average order values.

Here are some important reasons why AOV matters:

• Instant revenue boost: When customers spend more per order, you make more money without needing more visitors. This efficiency translates directly to better profit margins.
• Cost-effective growth: Think about it: acquiring new customers costs money. Ads, marketing, outreach – it adds up quickly. But getting existing customers to spend more? Much cheaper.
• Customer psychology insights: A low AOV might reveal hesitation from customers. Are they unsure? Do they lack trust? Meanwhile, a high AOV suggests confidence.
• Business performance benchmark: Tracking AOV over time helps you measure how well you’re doing. Seasonal changes, marketing campaigns, and product launches all affect AOV, giving you clear feedback on what works.
• Strategic planning tool: AOV influences crucial business decisions. Should you offer free shipping? Adjust product prices? Launch a new marketing campaign?
• Connection to other metrics: AOV works alongside conversion rate (CR) and revenue per visitor (RPV).
• Competitive advantage: A higher AOV means you’re extracting more value from each customer. This extra revenue can fund better marketing, product development, or lower prices.

14 Strategies To Increase Average Order Value

If those benefits have convinced you that AOV is worth the effort, here are 14 strategies that you can implement starting today.

1. Product Bundling

Product bundling is a strategy that has been applied since the brick and mortar days of commerce.

Buy a combination of bundled products and get a discount on the price. This strategy is great at encouraging customers to buy more than they originally planned.

Think of how Amazon regularly suggests products that are frequently bought together.

This is Amazon’s version of bundling.

It works because they have algorithms powering the searches and a lot of user data which they can use to suggest the most relevant product.

You can do it in a much different way and still get the same AOV boosting benefits.

How to implement:

• Install the Product Bundles extension from WooCommerce
• Go to Products → Add New → select Grouped Product type
• Add your individual products to the bundle
• Set a bundle price that’s slightly lower than buying items separately
• Enable Grouped Product Display settings for optimal presentation

Bundling works because it offers convenience and value. Customers get everything they need in one click, usually at a better price than buying separately.

This removes decision fatigue and creates a win-win for both you and your customers.

2. Free Shipping Thresholds

95% of the surveyed US consumers want free shipping. So, it’s no surprise that free shipping thresholds are extremely effective at increasing the order of average values.

When a customer sees they are just $10-20 away from free shipping, they’d rather add $10 worth of product than pay $10 dollars for delivery.

And it’s not a one-to-one. Sometimes if they go back trying to add more products, they may end up adding a lot more.

How to implement:

• Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping Zones
• Add a new shipping method and select Free shipping
• Check A minimum order amount is required
• Set threshold approximately 30% above your current AOV
• Install the WooCommerce Free Shipping Bar plugin to display progress
• Configure messaging in the plugin settings

A Reddit store owner shared: “My AOV is $94. I set my free shipping threshold at $100. During free shipping promos, AOV rises to $125 and orders increase considerably.”

The psychology is clear, people hate paying for shipping more than they hate spending extra on products.

Use this quirk of human nature to your advantage!

3. Limited-Time Offers

Limited time offers induce FOMO. All you need to do is induce enough fear of missing out to push a consumer on the edge of a purchase to make a decision.

How to implement:

• Install the YITH WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discounts plugin
• Create a time-limited sale under the Dynamic Pricing section
• Set start and end dates for your promotion
• Add the Checkout Countdown Timer plugin
• Place timers on product pages and cart
• Schedule email reminders

Limited-time offers work because they leverage the very powerful fear of missing out.

When customers know a deal won’t last forever, they’re more likely to act on impulse rather than risk missing out on a potential saving or good deal.

4. Loyalty Programs

Starbucks’ business model is based on loyalty programs. Once a consumer loads cash onto the membership card, they are more likely to go back and spend it with Starbucks.

Even better, Starbucks gets the money before a product is purchased. That’s the power of membership and loyalty rewards!

You may or may not be able to integrate wallets in your loyalty program depending on how large your current company is.

But you can definitely integrate loyalty discounts.

How to implement:

• Install the Advanced Coupons plugin
• Configure point values (e.g., 1 point per dollar spent)
• Create tiered rewards based on purchase values
• Set up automated emails to notify customers of points earned
• Add a points dashboard to the My Account page
• Enable point multipliers for higher-value orders

Loyalty programs tap into our desire for status and rewards.

The prospect of reaching the next tier or earning a special perk can motivate customers to add just a bit more to their orders each time.

5. One-Click Upsells and Order Bumps

Think of how large stores like Walmart and Costco keep chocolates or mini items at the checkout. 

If you have been shopping for products, picking up a couple sweets at checkout becomes a mindless purchase. 

These mindless purchases quickly add up for the business.

Here’s how Bathpack emulates one-click upsells and order bumps.

One click upsells aim to emulate that on eCommerce websites by showing relevant offers during checkout.

They make it incredibly easy for customers to add complementary items with minimal friction.

How to implement:

• Install CartFlows and create a one click upsell
• Select dynamic upsells that change based on the products in the cart
• A/B test static upsells where you add specific products and see which one sells better
• Try different types of upsells to find what works best for your brand or your website.

This strategy works because it catches customers when they’re already in buying mode.

They’ve decided to purchase, so they’re more receptive to related offers that enhance their original purchase.

6. A/B Testing Sales Funnels

Sales funnels are essential for guiding customers towards a purchase. But how do you know whether funnels are working or not?

Testing.

Systematic A/B testing helps identify the most effective page layouts, copy, and offers to maximize AOV.

You can create a funnel, test it and use the results of that testing to refine and improve your store.

CartFlows makes it easy with powerful split testing features built specifically for WordPress.

How to implement with CartFlows:

• Create multiple versions of your checkout flow with different upsells
• Let CartFlows automatically split traffic between versions
• Track which funnel version drives the highest AOV
• Keep the winner and continuously test new variations

CartFlows is a lot more than just another plugin. It’s designed to turn your website into a selling machine!

Over 200,000+ users already use it to help sell more on eCommerce websites. You could too!

As Troy Dean from WP Elevation noted, “CartFlows is probably the most exciting product in the WP space in recent years. Totally a game changer!” 

It removes the guesswork from store optimization by providing clear, data-driven insights into what actually works.

7. Dynamic and Personalized Offers

CartFlows excels at creating personalized offer sequences based on customer behavior.

The Dynamic Offers feature turns regular order bumps and upsells into highly relevant offers that entice buyers to purchase more.

How to implement with CartFlows:

• Set up conditional upsells based on what’s in the customer’s cart
• Create multi-step checkout flows with targeted offers
• Design one-click upsell pages that convert like crazy
• Customize every aspect of the offer presentation to match your brand

As Chris Lema from Liquid Web mentioned, “CartFlows brings the post-purchase features to WooCommerce that it’s always needed!”

CartFlows’ dynamic offers work because they make customers feel understood rather than just sold to.

The right product at the right time significantly increases the chances of additional purchases, boosting your AOV without feeling pushy or aggressive.

8. Realtime Cart Updates

Modern Cart for WooCommerce transforms the standard cart experience into a sleek, interactive shopping journey with real-time updates.

As customers add or remove items, they see their cart summary update in real-time, creating a seamless experience that keeps them engaged rather than abandoning their purchase.

This frictionless experience leads to faster checkouts, higher customer satisfaction, and ultimately, more completed purchases with higher values.

How to implement with Modern Cart:

• Replace your outdated WooCommerce cart with Modern Cart’s fast, modern interface
• Enable real-time quantity adjustments without page refreshes
• Configure the cart to update totals instantly when items are added or removed
• Choose from multiple cart styles including slide-out, popup, and floating options

Modern Cart eliminates the frustration of slow-loading carts and confusing checkout flows.

Customers instantly see how their choices affect their total, available discounts, and potential savings, giving them a big-brand experience in any size of store.

9. Smart Product Recommendations

Modern Cart’s smart recommendation engine presents customers with complementary products that enhance their current selections.

These smart suggestions significantly increase the likelihood of additional purchases.

How to implement with Modern Cart:

• Enable Modern Cart’s product recommendation feature
• Show relevant items that complement what’s already in the cart
• Present suggestions that feel helpful rather than pushy
• Integrate recommendations seamlessly into the cart experience

Modern Cart makes it easy to boost average order value with relevant product suggestions.

When a customer adds a product to their cart, they instantly see related items that complement their purchase, creating natural opportunities to increase basket size.

Smart recommendations help customers discover products they might have missed while improving their overall shopping experience

It’s a win-win for both you and your customers.

10. Simplified Coupon Application

Modern Cart’s streamlined coupon system makes it incredibly easy for customers to apply discounts and instantly see their savings.

It’s easier for customers as there’s less copy and pasting. It’s easier for stores as you have more control over coupons.

How to implement with Modern Cart:

• Enable Modern Cart’s simplified coupon form
• Allow customers to enter and remove coupon codes without leaving the cart
• Make your discount process compatible with popular WooCommerce coupon plugins
• Create a frictionless discount experience that keeps customers shopping

With Modern Cart, applying discounts becomes a breeze. Customers can enter coupon codes directly in the cart and see their savings applied instantly.

This seamless coupon experience removes a major friction point during checkout, helping you convert more visitors into paying customers who spend more per order.

11. Free Shipping Progress Bar

Remember how we added the free shipping thresholds to WooCommerce? Modern Cart takes that a step further.

Modern Cart’s visually appealing progress bar shows customers exactly how close they are to qualifying for free shipping.

This simple yet powerful feature is proving incredibly effective at motivating customers to add more items to reach the threshold.

How to implement with Modern Cart:

• Enable Modern Cart’s free shipping progress bar
• Set your free shipping threshold to slightly above your current AOV
• Customize the progress bar message to match your brand voice
• Watch as customers add more items to qualify for free shipping

The psychology is simple but effective. Customers hate paying for shipping more than they hate spending extra on products.

Modern Cart’s progress bar capitalizes on this quirk of human nature by clearly showing how close they are to “winning” free shipping.

This gamified element creates a powerful incentive to add more items to their cart, significantly boosting average order value with minimal effort on your part.

12. Highlight Premium Versions (Upselling)

Upselling encourages customers to purchase higher-end versions of products they’re considering.

It’s another incredibly useful way to increase average order value without being too pushy.

For example, if the customer adds a laptop to their basket, you can highlight a faster, more expensive laptop while highlighting why it could be a better option.

If they are already in a buying mood, the chances of them choosing the more expensive option is high.

With CartFlows, you can highlight a product, or additional features and benefits and increase perceived value and justify higher prices.

How to implement:

13. Post-Purchase Cross-Sells

Post-purchase cross-selling offers complementary products immediately after a purchase.

Since customers have already committed to buying, they may be receptive to additional offers that enhance their original purchase.

How to implement:

• Present offers on the thank-you page
• Send follow-up emails with complementary suggestions
• Offer special discounts for recent customers
• Focus on accessories or consumables related to their purchase

This strategy extends the customer journey beyond the initial purchase, potentially increasing AOV across multiple transactions and building stronger relationships.

14. Social Proof and User Reviews

72% of people trust online reviews as much as real people. So there is no denying the fact that social proof is absolutely critical for eCommerce success.

Using social proof through reviews, ratings, and testimonials builds trust and confidence, especially for first time buyers.

When customers see positive experiences from others, they feel more comfortable making larger purchases.

How to implement:

• You first start with implementing the basics like star ratings, customer reviews for individual products.
• If you’re selling to brands, display the brand logos.
• We would also recommend asking for video testimonials as they are very effective
• Embed Instagram videos from people who are using your product and showing them online.

In a world saturated with marketing and sales messages, hearing from real people with real experiences is incredibly important and can make or break a purchase decision.

Use the power of social proof to your own advantage and watch your sales soar!

Measuring Success and Continuous Improvement

If you follow through with these tips, your website has a strong foundation to boost average order value over time.

So, how do you measure success and keep iterating on these techniques to get the most out of it?

Key Metrics to Track

Beyond overall AOV, monitor these related metrics:

• AOV by marketing channel
• AOV by product category
• AOV by customer segment
• Items per order
• Profit margin per order

Regular Analysis and Reporting

Develop a consistent reporting schedule to review AOV performance. Weekly or monthly reports help identify trends and improvement opportunities.

Use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to track these metrics automatically.

Customer Feedback

Collect and analyze feedback related to your AOV strategies. This qualitative data provides insights that numbers alone can’t reveal.

Ask questions like:

• Were product recommendations helpful?
• Did the free shipping threshold motivate additional purchases?
• Did bundle offers provide enough value?

Competitive Benchmarking

Regularly compare your AOV against industry standards and competitors.

This will help you understand whether performance is exceptional or merely average, inspiring new improvement strategies.

Balancing AOV With Customer Experience

While increasing AOV matters, it should never harm customer experience. Aggressive upselling or confusing promotions can drive customers away, damaging your business long-term.

As Tony Hsieh wisely stated, “Customer service shouldn’t just be a department; it should be the entire company.”

Every AOV optimization strategy should enhance the overall customer experience, not detract from it.

The best AOV strategies feel helpful rather than pushy. They should give customers genuine value while naturally increasing their order size.

Conclusion

Increasing your AOV is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost revenue without spending more on customer acquisition.

The 14 strategies we’ve covered, from product bundling and free shipping thresholds to personalization and social proof, can significantly increase how much customers spend per transaction.

Remember to continuously test and refine while also keeping customer experience in the forefront of your mind.

So go forth, start analyzing your current average order values, and implement one or two strategies to begin with.

Then, refine and improve as you see success!

FAQs

What is average order value (AOV)?

Average order value (AOV) is the average amount spent each time a customer places an order on your website. Calculate it by dividing your total revenue by the number of orders during a specific period (AOV = Total Revenue ÷ Number of Orders). This metric helps you understand purchasing behavior and measure the effectiveness of your pricing and marketing strategies.

How often should I track AOV?

You should track your average order value regularly, ideally daily or weekly for active campaigns and monthly for overall performance assessment.

Can discounts negatively affect AOV?

Yes, discounts can reduce AOV if used poorly. Across-the-board discounts may encourage more purchases but at lower values. However, strategic discounts like volume discounts, threshold-based promotions, or premium item discounts can actually increase AOV.

How do upsells and cross-sells differ?

Up cells and cross cells are different because upselling encourages customers to purchase a higher-end version of the product they’re considering (like suggesting a premium model with more features). Cross-selling offers complementary products that enhance the original purchase (like suggesting a case for a phone).

Is AOV more important than conversion rate?

No, AOE and conversion rate are equally important to run a healthy business and drive revenue.

What is a good average order value?

A “good” AOV varies significantly by industry, product type, pricing strategy, and target audience. There’s no universal benchmark. Rather than comparing to a generic standard, track your own AOV over time to identify trends, benchmark against specific competitors when possible, and consider your profit margins and customer acquisition costs when evaluating performance.

They discovered the power of WooCommerce shortcodes.

These snippets of code are changing how savvy store owners sell online.

You don’t need expensive developers or complex coding either. Just simple, strategic implementation that could seriously boost your conversion rates.

Let us walk you through the shortcode revolution that’s happening right under your nose.

What Are WooCommerce Shortcodes?

WooCommerce shortcodes are small pieces of code wrapped in square brackets. They perform specific functions when added to your WordPress pages or posts.

This is what a shortcode looks like: [product_category]

Shortcodes help you customize their shops without diving into complex PHP or hiring expensive developers.

Think of shortcodes as magical commands that instantly transform ordinary pages into powerful selling tools.

They bridge the gap between what your standard WooCommerce setup offers and what your unique business actually needs.

Why Use WooCommerce Shortcodes?

Shortcodes let you:

• Display products exactly where you want them
• Create custom shopping experiences
• Strategically highlight products
• Streamline the purchase process
• Guide customer attention precisely

There’s a lot more you can do once you understand how flexible they are.

When combined with a dedicated funnel builder like CartFlows, shortcodes become even more powerful as part of structured customer journeys.

How Do Shortcodes Work?

WooCommerce shortcodes function through two key components: the body (the main command) and the parameters (the customization options).

The body tells WordPress what function to perform, while the parameters specify exactly how that function should behave.

The anatomy of a shortcode:

A complete shortcode might look like this: [products limit=”4″ columns=”2″ category=”featured”]

This tells WooCommerce to display 4 products arranged in 2 columns from the featured category.

See? Shortcodes are easy once you know how they work!

Where Can You Place Shortcodes?

Shortcodes work almost anywhere in a WordPress environment:

• Pages and posts
• Widget areas (sidebars, footers)
• Product descriptions
• Page builder elements

For the classic editor, simply paste the shortcode anywhere and WordPress will display the required content.

If you use the block editor, add a Shortcode block anywhere on the page and paste the shortcode into it.

Essential WooCommerce Page Shortcodes

There are a few fundamental shortcodes that form the backbone of a smoother WooCommerce experience.

They can control major functionality like your cart, checkout, and account pages.

Cart Page Shortcode [woocommerce_cart]

What: [woocommerce_cart]

Where: Add it anywhere it makes sense. For example, if you blog about a new product release, you could add a cart where the reader can buy that product directly from the post.

Why: You’re adding a chance to buy the product while a visitor is in a buying mood or to take advantage of impulse buys to increase conversions.

The cart shortcode displays the full shopping cart, including product images, quantities, pricing, and the checkout button.

You can place the shortcode on different pages so there are multiple points for the user to pay, which can help reduce abandoned carts.

Checkout Page Shortcode [woocommerce_checkout]

What: [woocommerce_checkout]

Where: Try this shortcode on product landing pages, at the bottom of high-converting blog posts, within promotional campaign pages, or even paired with curated product collections.

It’ll add the complete checkout functionality to the page wherever it’s placed.

Why: It creates opportunities for one-page shopping experiences where discovery and purchase happen in a single, frictionless process.

For store owners serious about optimizing checkout conversions, CartFlows extends capabilities with specialized checkout editors and pre-designed high-converting templates

Placing this on any page will turn it into a dynamic, full-fledged checkout page for your WooCommerce store.

My Account Shortcode [woocommerce_my_account]

What: [woocommerce_my_account]

Where: Consider adding this shortcode to membership areas, customer resource sections, post-purchase confirmation pages. Or even strategically place it in sidebars for logged-in users.

Why: Adding account access throughout your site lets you create a more integrated experience. It helps customers stay connected to their purchase history, downloads, and account details without disrupting the journey.

For non-logged-in users, the shortcode displays a login form.

For logged-in customers, it shows their account dashboard with orders, downloads, addresses, and account details.

It’s that simple

Order Tracking Shortcode [woocommerce_order_tracking]

What: [woocommerce_order_tracking]

Where: Consider embedding this WooCommerce shortcode in your FAQ section, customer service areas, post-purchase email templates (via links), or where order status adds value.

Why: 69% of consumers feel real-time order tracking is a top factor when shopping online. This shortcode makes tracking instantly accessible.

The shortcode generates a simple form where customers can enter their order ID and email address to view the status of a purchase.

Easy access to information is important for building trust in your fulfillment process.

WooCommerce Product Display Shortcodes

Now let’s look at how to showcase products across your store using powerful display shortcodes.

The Versatile [products] Shortcode

What: [products]

Where: The product shortcode belongs anywhere they can drive engagement or conversions.

Add it to blog content where products complement your storytelling. Place it strategically in email newsletters, category descriptions, 404 pages, or as part of your about page to showcase flagship products.

Why: This shortcode can adapt to different contexts. You can easily adapt it to show products you feel are the most relevant to the page, improving the shopping experience.

[products limit="8" columns="4" orderby="date" order="DESC" visibility="visible"]

This example displays the 8 most recent products in 4 columns. But this is just scratching the surface of what this shortcode can do.

Here’s a table of the most useful parameters for the products shortcode:

Product Categories Shortcode [product_categories]

What: [product_categories]

Where: Since this shortcode displays product categories and not individual products, place it where a customer could find it helpful if they know what other product categories you offer.

This can be a blog post, sidebar widget, or maybe even display the categories when a customer is switching between different product pages.

Why: Strategically placing category lists throughout your site increases the likelihood that a potential buyer would click through, browse and add more products to their cart.

You create multiple pathways for discovery that a standard menu navigation simply can’t match.

[product_categories number="6" columns="5" hide_empty="1" orderby="name" parent="0"]

This example displays 6 top-level product categories in 3 columns, hiding any empty categories.

Key parameters include:

Single Product Display Options [product_page]

What: [product_page id=”123″]

Where: Add the product page shortcode to a blog post that features a specific product as the hero of the content. You can also feature it in some of the tutorial pages or landing pages where sending a user to that product would add value.

It’s also useful in comparison guides when readers are deciding between options, seeing full product details. The shortcode gives them a way to add items to the cart without extra clicks.

Why: Instead of sending people off to another page when they’re interested, this brings the full product experience into the content.

It’s not just about displaying a product,but giving people the option to buy exactly when they’re most engaged.

This shortcode displays everything from the standard product page including images, price, description, add to cart button, and even reviews.

Strategic WooCommerce Product Showcase Shortcodes

Your secret weapon is strategically showcasing specific product collections throughout your customer journey.

Here’s how to do it using specialized shortcodes:

Featured Products Shortcode

What: [featured_products]

Where: This spotlight-worthy shortcode deserves prime placement anywhere you need to direct customer attention.

Your homepage is the obvious start, but weave it into about pages, post-purchase thank you pages for cross-selling opportunities, even empty cart pages to inspire initial purchases.

Why: Featured products represent you as a brand so you want to be thoughtful about where they appear.

To mark products as featured, just click the star icon in your Products dashboard.

This shortcode then automatically displays them wherever you place it.

On-Sale Items Shortcode

What: [sale_products]

Where: Add the sale_products short code to capture hesitant shoppers. You can add it to your email newsletter templates or your sidebar widgets on some of the high traffic blog content.

Maybe even show on sale products as interstitial content when people click between different categories.

Why: Price sensitivity drives a lot of decision making for shoppers. This auto updating showcase of on sale products creates urgency and opportunity without requiring constant maintenance.

[sale_products per_page="8" columns="4" orderby="date" order="desc"]

This shortcode is particularly powerful during sales events. Any product you mark as on sale in your dashboard automatically appears wherever you’ve placed this code.

Best-Selling Products Shortcode

What: [best_selling_products]

Where: The best_selling_products shortcode works beyond just homepage or hero sections.

Integrate this into product category pages as “Category Bestsellers”. Or maybe even product detail pages under “Others also bought”.

Abandoned cart emails are also a good place to integrate the bestselling products shortcode.

Why: Showing best selling products is like displaying social proof.

If potential buyers see that a product has been purchased by others, it creates a psychological trigger that simplifies the buying decision while also building confidence in your brand.

[best_selling_products per_page="4" columns="4"]

The shortcode automatically updates the list of products based on sales data, always showing your current top performers.

Recent Products Shortcode

What: [recent_products]

Where: If you add new products frequently, you’ll want recent visitors to see them. Your homepage is a great place to integrate the recent_products shortcode.

You can also integrate it in customer account dashboards to encourage customers to explore the new additions.

Why: For returning customers especially, highlighting your latest additions can become a compelling reason to browse again and turn their routine visits into anticipation of what’s new in your inventory.

[recent_products per_page="8" columns="4" orderby="date" order="desc"]

For stores that regularly add new inventory, this shortcode ensures visitors always see your freshest products.

Related Products Shortcode

What: [related_products]

Where: Integrate the related_products shortcode on product focused blog content, category descriptions to show complementary items, or in how-to guides where you’re talking about multiple products.

You can also consider it for FAQ pages where product questions necessarily lead to related offerings.

Why: The related_products shortcode provides contextual relevance and transforms basic product browsing into a product discovery journey.

This shortcode works best when products have proper categories and tags assigned, as these determine which products are considered “related.”

Top-Rated Products Shortcode

What: [top_rated_products]

Where: Showcase top-rated products where trust-building is the final push required for conversion.

You could feature it on landing pages where new visitors form their first impressions. You can even integrate it into comparison guides or other hesitation points in your sales funnel.

Also consider it for customer service pages to highlight consistently successful products, or even in win-back emails to remind lapsed customers of your quality offerings.

Why: Top rated products generally show that other customers are satisfied with your products and that creates a powerful social proof.

If you can consistently show your products earn high ratings, new customers know that you’re not making random claims about quality.

Instead, you’re letting satisfied customers make those claims for you.

[top_rated_products per_page="4" columns="4" orderby="rating"]

For stores with active review systems, this automatically showcases products with the highest ratings.

Purchase Action Shortcodes

The most powerful shortcodes in your arsenal directly drive conversions by making purchasing frictionless.

Add to Cart Button Shortcode

What: [add_to_cart]

Where: add_to_cart belongs pretty much anywhere your products are discussed. All you need to do is embed the shortcode within product pages or tutorials where you are talking about a product.

The idea is to give customers easy access to add a product to their cart and take a step further into the buying journey.

Why: Allowing customers to act on impulse is a sure way to improve sales!.

Single Product Price Display

What: Single product price display.

Where: You could incorporate it in posts or pages where you talk about the products. It’s also useful when you want customers to see the price but don’t want them to be static.

Why: Selective price transparency serves different functions throughout the buying journey. Sometimes customers want the price without the distraction of full product pages or purchase options.

This approach lets you control exactly when and how price factors into the customer’s decision-making process.

While there isn’t a dedicated shortcode just for prices, you can use:

[product_page id="123" show_price="true" show_add_to_cart="false"]

Advanced WooCommerce Shortcode Techniques

After mastering the basics, implement these advanced techniques to truly elevate your store’s performance.

Combining Multiple Shortcodes

You can enhance the shopping experience by combining multiple shortcodes on the same page.

Here’s how:

<h2>Latest Arrivals</h2>

[recent_products per_page="4" columns="4"]

<h2>Bestsellers This Month</h2>

[best_selling_products per_page="4" columns="4"]

<h2>Complete Your Order</h2>

[woocommerce_checkout]

Notice that you don’t need the shortcode block to add shortcodes. Simply paste the shortcode as part of a paragraph block and it will work perfectly.

Using Shortcodes in Widgets and Blocks

The best part about shortcodes is that you can use them in widgets, pages, blocks, posts and anywhere you can add text in WordPress.

1. In widgets: Add the Shortcode widget to your sidebar, displaying best-selling products alongside blog content.
2. In WordPress blocks: Use the dedicated Shortcode block to embed product displays in complex page layouts.
3. In custom HTML blocks: For more control, place shortcodes within Custom HTML blocks:

<div class="featured-product-highlight"> 
<h3>Product of the Month</h3> 
[product_page id="123"] 
</div>

Troubleshooting WooCommerce Shortcodes

Short codes aren’t always perfect and they can fail and can cause errors.

Let’s see some examples of common syntax errors that you might come across and how to fix them.

Common Syntax Errors

The most frequent problems come from simple syntax mistakes:

Solutions for Display Problems

When shortcodes don’t display as expected, use these troubleshooting steps:

1. Test using a default theme and see if it’s your customized theme that’s causing a problem or whether it’s just the shortcode that’s not working.
2. Disable all plugins except WooCommerce to check if it was a plugin causing an issue. If the shortcode works with the plugins disabled, you can start enabling them one by one to see which caused the issue.
3. Often caching plugins can conflict with shortcodes and break them. So if a shortcode is not working try disabling the caching plugin and check if the shortcode now loads.

Gumroad is popular, but let’s be real – it’s far from perfect. High transaction fees, limited checkout customization, and missing sales-boosting features can hurt your earnings.

The good news? You have better options.

Whether you want lower fees, more flexibility, or advanced selling tools, there’s a Gumroad alternative that fits your needs.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best Gumroad alternatives, from WooCommerce + CartFlows to SureCart, Payhip, and Sellfy, so you can sell smarter and keep more of your money.

Let’s take a closer look at why you might switch.

Why Do You Need a Gumroad Alternative?

Gumroad makes selling easy, but if you’re serious about growing your business, its limitations start adding up.

Here’s why many creators make the switch:

• High fees eat into profits: Gumroad takes 10% per sale – before transaction fees. That’s a big cut, especially if you’re selling consistently.
• Limited customization hurts branding: Your store looks like everyone else’s. You can’t fully customize checkout, product pages, or branding.
• Fewer payment options = fewer sales: Gumroad doesn’t support Stripe in many countries and lacks Apple Pay and Google Pay. More payment options mean more conversions.
• AI-based support can be frustrating: Delayed responses, missing payments, and no real human support when you need it most.
• Weak analytics make scaling hard: No detailed reporting means guesswork when trying to optimize sales and grow.

If these sound familiar, it’s time to find a better alternative.

Key Considerations for a Gumroad Alternative

If you’re serious about selling smarter and keeping more of your earnings, here’s what to look for:

• Pricing – Keep more of what you earn: Some platforms take a big chunk of every sale. Go for one with lower or no transaction fees.
• Payment options – Let customers pay their way: Not everyone uses PayPal. More payment methods mean more sales and happy customers.
• Customization – Make your store truly yours: Your brand should stand out, not blend in. Pick a platform that lets you control the look and feel.
• Sales and marketing – Sell more without extra work: Upsells, order bumps, and cart recovery can turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.
• Product flexibility – Sell your way: Whether it’s digital products, memberships, or subscriptions, make sure your platform fits your business model.
• Analytics – Know what’s working (and what’s not): Clear insights help you track sales, understand customers, and make smarter decisions.
• Customer support – Real help when you need it: AI bots are frustrating. You need human support that actually solves problems.

Now that you know what to look for, let’s dive into the best options available!

We’ve picked the best Gumroad alternatives in two categories: WordPress and SaaS.

Check them out and see which one works best for you.

Gumroad Alternatives: WordPress

WordPress is a versatile platform that gives you complete control over selling your products online.

These are the best options as far as we’re concerned.

1- SureCart

With WooCommerce, you get the freedom to build your store your way.

Unlike platforms that take a cut of every sale, WooCommerce lets you keep 100% of your earnings – no surprise fees, no limits.

That said, the default WooCommerce checkout is pretty basic. It gets the job done but doesn’t do much to boost conversions.

That’s where CartFlows comes in.

CartFlows + WooCommerce – A Powerful Gumroad Alternative

Remember we mentioned CartFlows earlier?

It effortlessly replaces the standard WooCommerce checkout with one that’s designed to sell.

Let’s discuss the features that make WooCommerce and CartFlows one of the best Gumroad alternatives.

Optimized checkout for higher conversions

WooCommerce’s default checkout has way too many unnecessary fields, which isn’t great for conversion.

CartFlows helps you simplify checkout pages and boost conversions. But when you combine it with Modern Cart, you create a checkout experience that feels unstoppable. Stick around, we’ll show you how Modern Cart takes it even further.

One-click upsells and order bumps

Unlike Gumroad, where upsells aren’t as flexible, CartFlows makes upselling effortless.

You can add one-click upsells right after checkout and order bumps before purchase, increasing your revenue without extra effort.

A/B split testing to maximize sales

Not sure if a one-step or two-step checkout works better? CartFlows lets you test multiple versions of your checkout, upsell, and order bump pages so you can fine-tune your funnel for maximum sales.

Recover abandoned carts and lost revenue

Over 70% of online shoppers abandon their carts. CartFlows helps you track lost sales and automatically send follow-up emails with discounts or reminders to bring customers back.

Smart funnels and personalized offers

CartFlows allows dynamic product suggestions based on what customers are buying.

Selling an eBook? Offer a video course as an upsell. Selling a membership? Offer a discounted annual plan.

These smart funnels make it easy to increase revenue on autopilot.

Fully customizable checkout and funnels

With support for Elementor, Divi, and other page builders, you can design stunning checkout pages without coding.

Unlike WooCommerce’s rigid default checkout, CartFlows lets you create a unique and branded sales experience.

Get Started With CartFlows

Building your sales funnel with CartFlows is super simple. Add it to your website as usual and replace the boring WooCommerce checkout.

Modern Cart – A Smoother Cart Experience for WooCommerce

If you’re serious about finding a real Gumroad alternative, your cart experience needs to feel simple, fast, and frictionless. That’s exactly what Modern Cart delivers.

Most WooCommerce carts feel clunky, outdated, and full of friction, causing customers to second-guess their purchase before they even reach checkout.

The result is fewer abandoned carts, higher average order value, and a buying journey that feels smooth from start to finish.

By studying successful businesses and adapting their strategies to your own, you save time, avoid costly mistakes, and get faster results.

Stick with us, and you’ll be ready to create funnels that work!

What Is Funnel Hacking?

Imagine you have a cousin who always performs exceptionally well in their exams. You admire their success and wonder what their secret is.

So you start observing them – what time they study, how they take notes, and which resources they use.

You don’t copy them exactly, but you tweak their routine to fit your own style.

Before you know it, your grades improve too.

That’s how funnel hacking works.

You analyze what your competitors are doing – their website design, pricing, email campaigns, or ads – and use those insights to craft a better, more personalized strategy for yourself.

The goal isn’t to copy but to model their success while tailoring it to your audience.

It’s like borrowing your cousin’s study techniques to ace your exams, but for business.

You can skip the trial-and-error phase by learning directly from the best. You save time, cut costs, and gain a head start in building funnels that deliver results.

What Is a Sales Funnel and How Does It Work?

Let’s say you’ve started your dream online store selling organic beauty products.

You’ve poured your heart into curating the best natural skincare items, but there’s one problem.

It’s like you’ve set up shop in the middle of nowhere. No signs, no visitors.

Even if your products are amazing, how will people find you, let alone buy anything?

That’s where sales funnels come in.

Think of them as friendly guides leading potential customers step by step, from discovering your brand to making a purchase.

It’s called a funnel because it starts wide like a funnel – catching the attention of many – and narrows down to those who are truly ready to buy.

Here’s how it works:

1. Awareness: Catching Their Attention

This is where people first hear about your brand. Maybe they’re scrolling Instagram and see your ad showing glowing reviews of your best-selling organic face serum.

Or they stumble upon your blog explaining the benefits of chemical-free skincare.

Your goal here is simple: grab their attention.

What this could look like:

• A catchy Facebook ad offering “10 Tips for Glowing Skin Naturally” with a free guide.
• A blog post comparing chemical-laden skincare with the benefits of organic alternatives.
• A viral social media post sharing before-and-after photos from happy customers.

2. Interest: Sparking Curiosity

Now they’re intrigued. They click the ad or visit your website to explore your product range.

Maybe they follow your Instagram for skincare tips. At this point, they’re deciding if your brand is worth their time.

Your job is to keep them interested and build trust.

What this could look like:

• A behind-the-scenes video showing how your organic products are made.
• Testimonials and routines from real customers who love your products.
• A popup on your site offering 10% off the first order after joining your email list.

3. Desire: Making Them Want It

At this stage, people are seriously considering buying. They’ve compared your products with competitors and are deciding which one feels right.

Your mission? Make your product irresistible.

What this could look like:

• Featuring glowing reviews like, “My redness disappeared in two weeks!”
• A limited-time deal: “Buy 2 Organic Serums, Get 1 Free – Today Only!”
• A detailed product page highlighting how your serum’s natural ingredients work wonders for sensitive skin.

4. Action: Closing the Deal

Finally, they’re ready to buy. They add your serum to their cart and complete the checkout.

This is where you focus on making the process easy and leaving a positive impression.

Your goal? Seal the deal and build loyalty.

What this could look like:

• A smooth checkout with clear instructions and multiple payment options.
• A personalized thank you email with tips on getting the best results from the product.
• A loyalty program that rewards them for coming back: “Earn points for every purchase!”

Now you’ve seen how much effort goes into building an effective sales funnel, would you want to risk all that time and money on something that might not work?

That’s exactly why funnel hacking is such a game-changer. Let’s explore the key benefits it offers!

Sales Funnels Are Everywhere

You’ve probably seen hundreds of funnels without even realizing it. Some of them may even have been created with CartFlows!

Think about those ads you see on social media: a 50% discount on a favorite outfit or a ‘buy one, get one free’ deal on kitchen gadgets.

Those ads are designed to catch your attention and pull you into the first stage of a funnel – the awareness stage.

Take Netflix for example. With over 300 million subscribers, they’ve nailed the sales funnel game.

When you click on their ad, you land on a clean, simple page that gives you just the information you need – no distractions.

And if you have questions? They’ve got an FAQ section right below to answer anything you might wonder about, making it easy for you to decide.

It’s all designed to keep you moving forward.

And there are countless other examples – Apple TV, Samsung, and so many more.

Benefits of Funnel Hacking

Before learning how to hack a sales funnel, let’s quickly explore the benefits:

• Start making sales sooner: Proven strategies help you see results without months of trial and error.
• Save time and cut costs: Focus on what’s already working instead of wasting resources on guesswork.
• Learn what works: Study successful businesses to uncover strategies that resonate with your audience.
• Reduce risks: Avoid failed campaigns by following approaches that are already delivering results.
• Stay competitive: Keep up with industry leaders by adapting their best practices to your business.
• Find hidden opportunities: Identify gaps in competitors’ strategies and use them to stand out.

Let’s now get to the heart of the matter, learning to hack a funnel!

Funnel Hacking Step by Step

Funnel hacking can feel like a lot, but breaking it into manageable steps makes it easier.

Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: List Your Competitors

Start by identifying thriving businesses in your industry – the ones already connecting with the audience you want to reach.

Don’t limit yourself to direct competitors; consider brands offering similar products or services, whether they’re premium options or budget-friendly alternatives.

A quick Google search is a great starting point.

Type in keywords related to your product or service – like “organic moisturizer” or “best kitchen knives” – and note which companies dominate the search results.

Pay extra attention to those running ads or appearing on the first page. If they’re investing in visibility, it’s a good sign they’re doing something right.

Step 2: Study Their Strategy

Now you’ve listed your competitors, it’s time to see what makes them tick.

Start by checking out their websites, ads, and social media accounts.

Look at how they attract attention and engage their audience, especially at the top of the funnel.

One handy tool is the Facebook Ad Library. It lets you search for competitors to see if they’re running Facebook or Instagram ads.

It provides a glimpse of ad copy, visuals, and targeting strategies.

Don’t stop there – browse reviews on platforms like Yelp or TrustPilot.

Reviews are gold when it comes to understanding what customers love (or don’t) about your competitors.

Spotting their strengths and weaknesses can help you find areas to improve or gaps to fill.

By the end of this step, you’ll have a clear idea of what’s working for them and how you can adapt those strategies to your own business.

Step 3: Find Their Traffic Sources

It’s time to dig deeper to know where competitors are getting their traffic.

This will help you understand how they’re attracting visitors and which channels are working best for them.

This is where tools like Ahrefs come in handy.

It’s an all-in-one SEO tool that helps you analyze competitors, uncover keyword opportunities, perform keyword tracking, and measure overall website performance.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Copy the link of a competitor’s website.
2. Paste it into the Ahrefs search field.
3. Study the insights, including:
   • Referring domains (who’s linking to them).
   • Keywords they rank for and use in ads.
   • Their best-performing backlinks.
   • Domain and URL authority scores.

These details can show you what’s driving their success. Are they killing it with search engine traffic? Using paid ads effectively? Leveraging strong backlinks?

There are more tools

Ahrefs isn’t the only tool you can use – there are others that bring different insights to the table.

For example, SpyFu is perfect if you want to dig into your competitors’ PPC campaigns or find their top-performing keywords for ads.

And then there’s BuzzSumo, which helps you see what content is making waves on social media.

Pairing these tools with Ahrefs gives you a well-rounded view of how your competitors are driving traffic and engaging their audience.

Step 4: Go Deep Into Their Funnels

Once you’ve gathered all the basics, it’s time to analyze your competitors’ funnels in detail.

This is where you figure out how they engage with their audience and turn visitors into customers.

Start With Landing Pages

Landing pages are the gateway to any funnel.

Take a close look at:

• Design and layout: Is it simple, clear, and easy to navigate? Do the calls to action (CTAs) stand out?
• Headlines and subheadings: Are they grabbing attention and delivering the main message?
• Structure and flow: Are there clear next steps like free trials or upsells? How smooth is the process?
• Visuals: Are the images and videos adding value or just filling space?
• Trust signals: Look for testimonials, certifications, or partnerships that build credibility.
• Offers: Are they using limited time discounts, freebies, or bonuses to attract customers?

Take ZipWP AI Website Builder for example. Their landing page is pretty straightforward, yet includes most of those points above.

Sign Up for Emails

Subscribe to your competitors’ newsletters and see how they engage with their audience.

Watch out for:

• Promo codes, upsells, or special offers.
• Abandoned cart emails (try leaving items in your cart to test this).
• Personalized messaging.

Analyze how often they email, what kind of content they send, and how it fits into their overall strategy.

Buy Their Product (if possible)

If your budget allows, purchase from your competitor. This hands-on experience can give you unique insights into their funnel.

You can assess:

• Checkout process: Was it smooth? Did they use upsells or cross-sells?
• Post-purchase emails: Did they thank you, offer tips, or upsell more products?
• Product delivery: Was it well-packaged? Did it include extras like coupons or thank you notes?
• Product quality: Does it live up to the promise?

This isn’t about copying – it’s about understanding their customer journey and figuring out what you can do better.

Check Their Customer Support

Customer support is the part of the funnel that builds loyalty.

• Ask a question: Reach out to the support team and note how they respond – speed, tone, and helpfulness.
• Monitor social channels: See how they handle questions and complaints publicly.
• Test returns/refunds: If you purchased their product, try returning it to assess how they handle it.

Don’t forget to explore their FAQ pages or tutorials too. Check if they are helpful and easy to understand.

With a little work, you’ll uncover strategies, strengths, and weaknesses that can help you build a more effective funnel for your own business.

Tools To Build Your Sales Funnel

Building a successful sales funnel is much easier when you have the right tools at your disposal.

Here’re some of the best tools for WordPress and SaaS platforms to help you build your funnels.

WordPress Tools

If you’re using WordPress, these tools are must-haves for creating and optimizing your funnel:

• CartFlows: Makes building funnels simple with pre-built templates, one-click upsells, and cart abandonment recovery. It’s ideal if you want to create a professional funnel without coding.
• Spectra/Elementor: Page builders let you design stunning, responsive pages with drag and drop ease. Whether it’s a landing page or a checkout page, you can effortlessly customize it to match your brand.
• Convert Pro: Need to capture more leads? This tool helps with exit-intent popups, multi-step forms, and integrations with your email platforms to keep leads organized.
• OttoKit: Automate your workflows, like syncing leads to CRMs or triggering upsell emails, so you can focus on growing your business without being slowed down by manual tasks.

SaaS Tools

For non-WordPress setups, these SaaS tools offer powerful solutions:

• ClickFunnels: An all-in-one platform to build, track, and optimize your funnels. It’s packed with templates and upsell features to help you maximize revenue.
• Unbounce: Specializes in creating high-converting landing pages with A/B testing and optimization tools. Great if you’re focused on getting results from paid traffic.
• HubSpot: Combines lead capture forms, email marketing, and CRM tools to nurture leads and track progress through the funnel.
• Zapier: Connects your apps to automate repetitive tasks like syncing leads or sending notifications when someone makes a purchase.
• Windsor.ai: Automatically extracts data from various popular marketing, e-commerce, and CRM platforms and streams it to BI tools or data warehouses for in-depth analytics through ELT connectors.

These tools don’t just make funnel building easier – they also help you optimize every step of the customer journey.

Funnel Hacking: What’s the Winning Formula?

We discussed it earlier that funnel hacking is about learning and adapting – not copying.

It’s your chance to take what works, make it better, and tailor it to your audience.

Here’s how to do it right:

Learn, Don’t Copy

Taking direct elements like headlines, content, or images from your competitors doesn’t just harm your credibility – it makes you blend in.

Instead:

• Write headlines and content that reflect your unique voice and values.
• Use visuals and designs that are authentic to your brand.
• Innovate on what works to stand out instead of blending in.

Copying may seem quick, but originality helps you stand out.

Adapt and Innovate

The beauty of funnel hacking lies in modeling strategies, not mimicking them.

Here’s what you can do:

• Study the structure: How do they guide users through awareness, interest, and action?
• Analyze the design: Take cues from layouts or colors that work but keep your branding distinct.
• Understand the flow: Look at how they move customers seamlessly through their funnel.

Think of it as learning from their playbook, but rewriting it for your own gain.

Avoid These Funnel Hacking Pitfalls

Here are a few common mistakes to avoid:

• Blind replication: Copying isn’t learning – it’s falling behind.
• Ignoring your audience: Focus on what your audience needs, not just what competitors are doing.
• Overcomplicating your funnel: Keep it clean and simple – less is more.

Find Your Secret Sauce

The real magic comes from adding your own creativity and focusing on solving problems for your audience.

With continuous refinement and thoughtful inspiration, you’ll create a funnel that drives results and feels 100% yours.

Conclusion

Funnel hacking isn’t just a strategy – it’s a smart way to grow your business faster by learning from what already works.

By studying the successes (and missteps) of your competitors, you gain a head start in crafting sales funnels that aren’t just effective – they’re tailored to your audience and built for results.

Remember, it’s not about copying; it’s about adapting and innovating.

Ready to find the perfect solution for your business?

Let’s dive in!

1. CartFlows – The Superior Alternative to ClickFunnels

Looking for a funnel builder that gives you more flexibility and value than ClickFunnels?

CartFlows is the ultimate solution for anyone who loves WordPress.

While ClickFunnels is an all-in-one platform, it can feel restrictive—especially with its high costs and lack of customization.

CartFlows flips the script by working seamlessly with WordPress and WooCommerce, offering unmatched flexibility, affordability, and features.

Even better? CartFlows offers a Free Plan! You can get started without any upfront investment and still access essential funnel-building features.

Let’s break down why CartFlows is a better choice:

Key Features That Make CartFlows Stand Out

WordPress Integration

• CartFlows is built to work directly with WordPress, the world’s most popular website platform.
• This means you can use your favorite tools, themes, and plugins without restrictions.
• ClickFunnels, on the other hand, locks you into its system, limiting your ability to grow and customize.

One-Click Upsells

• Boost your revenue by offering additional products after the initial purchase.
• With CartFlows, adding upsells is effortless and integrates smoothly with WooCommerce.
• ClickFunnels offers upsells too, but it requires a more expensive plan and is less flexible for eCommerce stores.

Order Bumps

• Add small, complementary offers directly on the checkout page to increase average order value.
• CartFlows makes it simple to add order bumps without extra coding or complications.

A/B Split Testing

• Not sure which version of your funnel works best?
• With CartFlows, you can run A/B tests to compare different versions of your funnels and optimize for conversions.

High-Converting Templates

• CartFlows offers a library of professionally designed templates for every stage of your funnel—landing pages, checkout pages, and thank-you pages.
• Customize these templates easily with page builders like Elementor or Divi to match your brand.
• ClickFunnels templates are useful but limited in customization without extra coding.

Modern Checkout Design

• Say goodbye to outdated checkout pages!
• CartFlows provides sleek, high-converting checkout layouts designed to reduce cart abandonment.

Even better? 

When you combine CartFlows with Modern Cart, you unlock a frictionless, supercharged cart experience.

Modern Cart replaces the default WooCommerce cart with a faster, smarter, and mobile-optimized cart that keeps your customers moving smoothly to checkout.

No refreshing pages. No frustrating edits. Just a seamless flow that reduces abandonment and boosts sales.

Dynamic Offers

• Create personalized offers based on user behavior or purchase history.
• This helps you increase conversions by showing the right offers at the right time.

Lead Generation Tools

Why CartFlows Stands Out

• Affordability: CartFlows starts at just $69/year, while ClickFunnels’ pricing begins at $97/month—saving you over $1,000 annually!

• Ease of Use: Its drag-and-drop design tools make funnel building simple, even for beginners.

Final Thoughts

While ClickFunnels is a popular tool, it’s not the only option—and often not the best fit for every business.

Now it’s your turn: Which alternative resonates with your business goals?

It’s not always easy to find new, innovative ways to drive sales and keep customers happy and engaged. However, there’s one thing that can significantly help businesses with that — screen recording.

There are many ways of using screen capture videos: creating educational content, launching stunning product demos, improving your customer support service, and more. In other words, screen recording opens a lot of doors for e-commerce businesses.

And today we’d like to dive deeper into video recording for e-commerce, discuss the benefits it provides, and talk about content types that brands can create using screen capture.

Screen Record for Boosting E-Commerce Sales and Customer Engagement

Let’s take a look at some ways screen recording can help e-commerce businesses.

Enhancing Product Demonstrations

One of the biggest challenges for e-commerce businesses is replicating the in-store shopping experience. Shoppers want to see how a product looks and works before making a purchase. And screen recording can help brands create product demonstrations that show and explain the most important aspects and features of the product.

For example, if you’re a software developer, you may use a screen recorder to walk potential customers though your app or program. This will help the viewers understand its tools and features better and make a conscious decision on whether they want to purchase the product or not. And if you offer digital services, a guided tutorial will work well for highlighting key benefits, which will increase the likelihood of conversion.

In other words, the audience need to understand the product to buy it, and screen recording will help you achieve this result.

Simplifying Customer Support and Troubleshooting

Good customer support is a must for any e-commerce business. Although traditional text-based responses and FAQ sections might work well, screen-recorded tutorials often work better.

There are two main ways to handle this: tutorials that address most common issues can be pre-recorded, and other tutorials can be created by support agents when an issue arises.

For instance, if customers frequently struggle with setting up an account, a screen capture video can help them with the process. Not only does this reduce support inquiries, but it also enhances the overall customer experience by offering immediate, clear solutions.

Creating Engaging Social Media Content

Social media content is important for any type of business, and e-commerce is no exception. Here’s where screen recording might help. As a content creator, you can use its features to create behind-the-scenes content, tutorial videos, and product showcases for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Short, informative videos demonstrating how to use a product or highlighting a special feature can generate significant engagement. Consumers are more likely to trust and share video content that provides real value rather than traditional ads.

Boosting Conversion Rates with Video Testimonials

Social proof is a powerful sales driver. Instead of relying on written reviews alone, e-commerce businesses can use screen capture videos to showcase real customers using their products. Video testimonials build authenticity and trust, as potential buyers see genuine reactions and experiences.

For instance, an online beauty retailer could feature user-generated screen recordings of customers demonstrating how a skincare product works. This type of content humanizes the brand and influences purchasing decisions by showcasing real-world results.

Demonstrating Software and Digital Products

For businesses selling SaaS products or digital tools, video recording for e-commerce is essential. Unlike physical products, digital services can be harder to explain through images or text.

Learning how to screen record on Mac or Windows allows software companies to create guided walkthroughs, onboarding videos, and feature breakdowns that simplify complex concepts for potential buyers.

An effective tutorial or demo video can mean the difference between a customer deciding to purchase or abandoning the website in confusion.

Increasing Engagement Through Interactive Content

Interactive video content keeps potential customers engaged longer. Screen capture videos can be used in live Q&A sessions, product launches, or interactive tutorials where users can click through different options to learn more about a product.

For example, an e-commerce fashion brand can create an interactive look book video where viewers click on outfits they like to see more details or purchase instantly. This improves engagement and drives impulse purchases.

Enhancing SEO and Website Performance

Google favors websites with engaging video content. By embedding screen capture videos on product pages, blogs, and landing pages, businesses can improve dwell time and reduce bounce rates — two critical factors for SEO success.

Additionally, video content is more likely to appear in search results, providing an organic traffic boost. When customers spend more time watching relevant product demos or tutorials, they’re more likely to make a purchase.

E-Commerce Video Types

Now that we’ve covered how screen recording enhances sales and engagement, let’s look at the best types of videos to create for an e-commerce business:

Product Demo Videos

• Walk customers through product features.
• Explain how to use the product with clear visuals.
• Showcase benefits in real-world applications.

Tutorial & How-To Videos

• Provide step-by-step guides for software, apps, or digital products.
• Answer common customer questions in an engaging format.

Explainer Videos

• Simplify complex services or subscription models.
• Use screen recording to demonstrate how your service works.

User Testimonials & Reviews

• Show real customers using your products.
• Highlight success stories and customer satisfaction.

Personalized Customer Support Videos

• Address specific customer concerns with pre-recorded troubleshooting guides.
• Reduce the need for long email exchanges or support calls.

Live Screen Recording Sessions

• Host live product walkthroughs or interactive Q&A sessions.
• Allow potential buyers to see the product in action in real time.

The Bottom Line

Incorporating screen recording into your e-commerce strategy is a good way to increase customer engagement, build trust, and boost sales. It provides opportunities for producing creative product demonstrations, troubleshooting guides, video testimonials, and more. But most importantly, screen recording make the shopping experience seamless and more immersive.

Although investing is video recording for e-commerce is not a must for businesses, brands that do it have a distinct advantage. That’s why learning the basics of screen recording is a great idea to create better content and set your e-commerce store apart from the rest.

With the rise of online shopping, we can expect losses to go up further over the coming years.

Now that might not be a worrisome amount for big corporations, but for small and medium-sized businesses that amount might be the difference between success and failures.

If you are running an eCommerce store, you might just be on the right page.

If you own a business, a solid inventory management system should be your top priority. Otherwise, you will find yourself in a shortage of products at the time of an important sale!

Trust us, we have seen many cases where an eCommerce store has a hit product, but because of the lack of inventory management is struggling to fulfill orders.

Ultimately, it hampers the brand image and you lose out on potential sales.

Take a tour with us to see how an inventory management system can lead to improved accuracy, streamlined order management, prevention of stockouts, enhanced customer service, and increased sales.

What is WooCommerce inventory management?

WooCommerce inventory management refers to the process of overseeing and controlling the inventory of products within a WooCommerce-based online store.

It involves efficiently tracking stock levels, managing product variations, handling incoming and outgoing inventory, and ensuring accurate inventory data across different channels.

That means it is the number of products you have in stock.

Why do you need a WooCommerce inventory management system?

Here are some key reasons why you need a robust inventory management system for your WooCommerce store:

Improved inventory accuracy

By implementing a reliable inventory management system, you can easily maintain accurate stock levels. You will get updates in real-time into your inventory that will help you prevent overselling or underselling.

It will also minimize the risk of stock discrepancies and associated customer dissatisfaction.

Improved order management

Efficient inventory management enables you to streamline order fulfillment processes. With accurate information, you can promptly process orders, avoid backorders, and improve overall customer satisfaction.

Prevention of stockouts

Inventory management will help you to set up reorder points and automated alerts when stock levels reach a certain threshold.

This proactive approach helps prevent stockouts, ensuring that popular products remain available for customers.

Improved customer service

Accurate inventory management leads to better customer service. By having real-time stock information, you can provide accurate product availability, and estimated delivery dates, and prevent delays or cancellations.

Increased sales

Optimized inventory management can positively impact your sales. By avoiding stockouts and effectively managing product variations, you can meet customer demand, drive repeat purchases, and enhance customer loyalty.

Tips to improve WooCommerce inventory management

Now that we understand the importance of efficient inventory management in WooCommerce, let’s explore some practical tips to enhance it:

1. Create a detailed inventory policy

You ideally need a detailed inventory policy that outlines the procedures for managing inventory within an organization.

It should include the factors such as inventory levels, replenishment methods, order quantities, lead times, and safety stock requirements.

The policy should also align with the company’s overall business objectives and factors like demand forecasting, sales patterns, and production capabilities.

Develop an inventory policy that outlines your inventory strategies, stock thresholds, and order processing timelines.

2. Track inventory movements

Implement inventory tracking mechanisms to monitor incoming and outgoing stock accurately.

Utilize barcodes, scanners, or inventory management software to streamline the tracking process and minimize errors.

Here is a list of the business benefits of tracking inventory:

• Improved inventory accuracy
• Efficient replenishment
• Cost reduction
• Improved customer service
• Demand forecasting and planning
• Fraud and theft prevention
• Streamlined operations
• Data-driven decision making
• Regulatory compliance

3. Set up reorder points

Reorder points are predetermined inventory levels that trigger the need to reorder products.

They are typically set based on factors such as lead time, demand variability, and desired service levels. When inventory levels reach the reorder point, it signals the need to initiate the replenishment process to avoid stockouts.

Determine optimal reorder points for your products based on historical sales data, lead times, and customer demand.

This ensures that you replenish inventory at the right time, avoiding stockouts or excess inventory.

4. Implement a just-in-time inventory system

A just-in-time (JIT) inventory system aims to minimize inventory holding costs by synchronizing the delivery of raw materials or finished goods with production or customer demand.

Under JIT, inventory is replenished only when it is needed, reducing excess stock and associated costs. This system requires accurate demand forecasting, strong supplier relationships and efficient logistics management.

Consider adopting a just-in-time inventory approach where inventory is ordered and received shortly before it is needed for fulfillment.

This method minimizes holding costs and reduces the risk of obsolete inventory.

5. Use a warehouse management system

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application that helps manage and control warehouse operations. It provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, facilitates order processing, optimizes storage space, and streamlines workflows. These capabilities are essential components of effective project management in logistics, 3pl costs, and supply chain operations.

A WMS can automate tasks such as receiving, picking, packing, and shipping, improving efficiency and accuracy.

It may be worth investing in a warehouse management system to efficiently manage your inventory. When it comes to maintaining optimal stock levels and efficient fulfillment processes, exploring third-party logistics solutions can be invaluable. They provide a strategic approach to storage, inventory management, and shipping as a cohesive unit. It can help optimize storage space, streamline picking and packing processes, and provide real-time inventory visibility.

6. Conduct regular inventory audits

Regular inventory audits involve physically counting and reconciling the actual inventory with the recorded quantities in the system.

Audits help identify discrepancies, such as stockouts, overstocking, or inventory shrinkage due to theft or damage. By conducting audits at regular intervals, organizations can maintain inventory accuracy and ensure reliable data for decision-making.

Regular inventory audits can identify and rectify any discrepancies between physical and recorded stock levels. This process helps maintain accuracy and reduces the chances of stock-related issues.

7. Use a reporting tool

A reporting tool allows organizations to generate comprehensive reports and analyze inventory data. It provides insights into inventory levels, turnover rates, stockouts, lead times, and other key performance indicators (KPIs).

Reports help identify trends, forecast demand, optimize inventory levels and make informed business decisions.

Leverage reporting tools or inventory management software to generate insightful reports on sales, stock levels, and product performance. These reports can assist in making data-driven decisions and forecasting future inventory needs.

8. Be proactive: Take action before problems occur

Being proactive involves taking preventive measures to address potential inventory-related issues before they occur.

This can include proactive demand forecasting, identifying bottlenecks in the supply chain, maintaining buffer stock for unexpected spikes in demand, and implementing contingency plans to mitigate risks.

Monitor your inventory regularly and proactively address issues such as slow-moving or obsolete stock, stock discrepancies, or supplier delays.

Swift action can prevent potential disruptions and minimize customer dissatisfaction.

It’s easier to do this if you have a plan in place to guide your choices when the time to act arrives. You can do this by taking the best action plan template for your needs, and adapting it to cover the specific scenarios you expect to encounter in an inventory management context. Having a framework to follow avoids missteps.

9. Don’t forget about customer service

An effective inventory management system considers customer service a priority. It ensures product availability, timely order fulfillment, and accurate delivery.

By optimizing inventory levels, organizations can meet customer demands promptly, reduce lead times, and improve overall customer satisfaction.

Inventory management processes can be aligned with your customer service goals. It can help update product availability on your website, provide accurate shipping estimates, and proactively communicate with customers regarding any inventory-related issues.

10. Use technology to your advantage

Leveraging technology can significantly enhance inventory management. This includes utilizing inventory management software, barcode scanning, RFID systems, automated data capture, and integration with other business systems like enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Technology streamlines processes, reduces errors, improves data accuracy, and enables real-time visibility into inventory movements.

Leverage technology solutions such as WooCommerce inventory management plugins, integrations with third-party systems, and automation tools. If you’re looking for social media automation using WooCommerce, you can refer to this awesome guide from Nuelink!

These can simplify your inventory management tasks and provide real-time insights for effective decision-making.

Manage CartFlows Sales Funnel With Bricks

Setting up CartFlows and Bricks Builder is a breeze. The two tools work together seamlessly, but you also need WooCommerce for the magic to happen.

If you already have WordPress up and running, you’re halfway there. The rest is super easy!

If you’re starting from scratch? No worries – check out this helpful video that guides you through every step.

Ready to dive in? Let’s start by installing Bricks Builder!

1- Install Bricks Builder

Bricks is a premium visual website builder and WordPress theme that makes building stunning websites super simple.

Here’s how you can set it up:

• First, purchase Bricks from the official website.
• Download the Bricks file (.zip format) to your computer.
• In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes, click Add New Theme, and upload the .zip file.
• Install and activate the theme just like any other WordPress theme.

Don’t forget to activate your copy! Enter your license key under Bricks > License in your WordPress admin.

And that’s it – your Bricks Builder is ready to go!

Now, let’s add CartFlows to your site and turn it into a sales powerhouse.

2- Set Up CartFlows

CartFlows is your go-to sales funnel plugin that can set up your entire eCommerce site in no time.

Ready to get started? We’ll guide you through it step by step.

You can start with the free version of CartFlows, available directly on WordPress.

For more advanced features and an ultimate toolkit, you can upgrade to CartFlows Pro.

Since we’re unlocking the full potential of CartFlows and Bricks integration, we’ll be working with CartFlows Pro in this guide.

Let’s install the free version of CartFlows:

1. Head over to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins > Add New.
3. Search for “CartFlows”, and click Install and Activate when the options appear.

Once activated, the CartFlows setup wizard will guide you through the process. It’s quick, intuitive, and gets everything up and running in minutes.

Here’s what to do:

• Click the Let’s Start button to begin the wizard.

• Select Bricks as your builder and hit Save & Continue.

• The wizard will prompt you to install three must-have plugins:
  • WooCommerce (mandatory for CartFlows)
  • Cart Abandonment (great for recovering lost sales)
  • Stripe Payments (a must for smooth payment management)
    Click Install & Activate to set these up in one go.

• Add your name and email address. Trust us, this step is worth it – you’ll get valuable tips and updates sent straight to your inbox.

Once done, click Save & Continue to finish the process.

Pro Tip: If you skipped the wizard, don’t worry. You can install the required plugins later from the CartFlows Dashboard.

3- Before Creating Your Sales Funnel

Before you jump into building your sales funnels, there are two essential steps:

• 1. Set your store location: WooCommerce should prompt you to set your store’s location when you access its menu. If it doesn’t, head over to WooCommerce > Settings > General and enter the location.
• 2. Connect Stripe for payments: If you installed the Stripe for WooCommerce plugin during the CartFlows setup, you’ll see a Connect Stripe Account notification in your WordPress dashboard. Follow the steps to either log in with an existing Stripe account or create a new one. This will ensure customers can pay.

Now that the groundwork is done, it’s time for creating high-converting sales funnels with Bricks and CartFlows.

4- Create a Sales Funnel With CartFlows

Creating a sales funnel with CartFlows is super easy. Before we dive in, let’s take a moment to get familiar with the interface.

The CartFlows dashboard is designed with simplicity in mind and features five key sections:

• Dashboard: Get a quick snapshot of your sales funnel performance and access handy shortcuts.
• Funnels: The heart of the action! Create and manage custom sales funnels right here.
• Store Checkout: Replace and customize WooCommerce’s default checkout with a funnel-driven experience.
• Automations: Seamlessly connect CartFlows and WooCommerce with external tools using OttoKit.
• Addons: Unlock additional features to supercharge your WooCommerce store.

Let’s create your test sales funnel

Go to CartFlows > Funnels and click the + Create New Funnel button.

Next, add the products you’d like to feature in your funnel.

Once your funnel is set up, it’s time to tailor the flow to suit your business needs.

You can easily add multiple steps like upsells, downsells, opt-ins, or custom checkout pages.

Rearranging the flow is a breeze with simple drag and drop functionality.

When you create a new funnel, CartFlows automatically sets up three default steps:

1. Sales Landing
2. Checkout
3. Thank You

But that’s just the beginning. You can add as many steps as you like.

Click + Add New Step, then choose the step type you need from the options.

Since this tutorial is all about showcasing the magic of CartFlows and Bricks Builder together, we’ll focus on steps that highlight their integration.

Customize a Sales Funnel

Using CartFlows with Bricks Builder unlocks endless customization possibilities for sales funnels.

Let’s walk through how to get started.

Dynamic Content

With the Dynamic Content Tag feature in Bricks, you can link any button or text to seamlessly load the next step in your funnel.

Let’s set it up.

Open your sales funnel and locate the Sales Landing Page step.

Click the Edit icon to open the page in the Bricks editor.

For our test landing page, we added a few simple elements: an image, a heading, and a button.

Now, follow these steps to make your button dynamic:

• Select the button element and go to the Content tab in the settings panel on the left.
• From the Link Type dropdown, choose Dynamic Data.
• In the field below, select Next Step as the tag.

• Save your changes.

Now, when someone clicks the button, it will take them to the next step in your funnel.

Test it out on the front end to see the magic in action.

Pro Tip: Save time by using Bricks’ premade templates. Customize them to match your branding and goals – it’s quick, easy, and looks great!

Checkout Form

The default checkout form in your sales funnel uses a two-column layout, but you can easily change it to suit your needs.

By default, editing checkout steps is disabled when the Instant Layout option is active in CartFlows.

To make changes, you’ll need to disable this setting.

1. Click the Open Funnel Settings icon on the right side of your screen.
2. In the settings panel, toggle off the Instant Layout option.
3. Hit Save, close the panel, and refresh the page to apply the changes.

Now you’re ready to edit the checkout step in Bricks!

When you open it for the first time, you’ll see a blank canvas. Don’t worry – it’s time to bring your checkout to life.

Scroll to the bottom of the elements panel in Bricks and find the CartFlows Checkout Form widget.

Drag the widget onto your canvas.

Here’s how to tweak it:

• Select the form and open the Style tab on the left.
• In the Layout section, adjust margins to match your design.
• Switch to the Content tab and use the Layout dropdown to choose your preferred style.
• Add your unique touch by tweaking colors, fonts, and background styles.

If you want to add or remove fields from your checkout form you can do it from the CartFlows interface.

• Open the Checkout Step Settings for your funnel.

• Navigate to the Checkout Form tab and scroll down to find the Field Editor option.

• Enable the Field Editor to show all available fields.

From here, you can enable or disable any field, mark it as required or optional, or add custom fields to suit your needs.

Once you’re done, save your changes to update your checkout form.

Opt-in Form

Opt-in forms let you collect essential details like names, email addresses, and other information at any point in your sales funnel.

They’re perfect for building your mailing list and nurturing customer relationships.

When you create an opt-in step in CartFlows, customizing it with Bricks Builder is as easy as tweaking a checkout form.

But you’ll need a downloadable product (like an eBook) to make it work.

Let’s create and customize an opt-in step:

• Go to your sales funnel and press the Add New Step button.
• From the Select Step Type dropdown, choose Opt-In and hit Create Step.
• Enter a name for your step on the next screen and press Create Step again.
• Once redirected to the funnel screen, assign a product to the opt-in step – make sure it’s a digital product.
• Click the Edit Step icon to open Bricks Builder.
• Drag the Opt-In widget from the elements panel onto your canvas.
• Customize it using the settings panel on the left to match your branding and goals.

If you want to make the process even easier, you can add or remove form fields to reduce friction.

For example, you might want to remove the last name field and give 100% width to the first name field for a simpler layout.

Here’s how:

• Open the settings for the opt-in step and go to the Opt-In Form tab.
• Turn specific fields on or off based on what you need.
• Click the gear icon under the Edit column for any field to adjust size, placeholder, or layout. For example, you can disable the last name field and allocate 100% width to the first name field for a cleaner look.
• Hit the Save Settings button once you’ve made all the adjustments.

With these steps, you’ll create a sleek, effective opt-in form that captures leads while keeping the user experience smooth.

Order Details Form

Want to leave your customers with a memorable post-purchase experience?

The Order Details Form widget is the perfect way to showcase order information clearly and professionally on your Thank You page.

To get started, open the Thank You step in your sales funnel using Bricks Editor.

Once inside, locate the Order Details Form widget in the elements panel and drag it onto your canvas.

From there, you can customize the design and layout using the settings panel on the left.

Adjust colors, fonts, and spacing to align with your brand and ensure the information is easy for your customers to read.

This small addition can make a big impact, creating a polished and customer-friendly finish to your sales funnel.

Product Widgets

With the seamless integration of CartFlows and Bricks, you have access to a range of widgets to make your upsell and downsell steps shine.

Widgets include:

• Offer Step Layout
• Product Description
• Product Image
• Product Price
• Product Quantity
• Product Title
• Product Variation

Let’s walk through adding an upsell step to see how these widgets come to life.

Start by clicking the Add New Step button in your sales funnel and selecting Upsell from the dropdown menu.

Name your step – let’s call it “Sell More” for this example – and press the Create Step button.

Once the step is created, you’ll notice it’s added at the end of your funnel.

Since that position isn’t ideal, simply drag it to the correct spot to fit your funnel’s flow.

Next, assign a product to this upsell step to make it functional.

Open the upsell step in Bricks Editor. You’ll see all the widgets listed earlier pre-loaded onto the canvas.

From here, tweak and fine-tune them using the element panel on the left.

Adjust images, prices, product titles, or even layout styles to match your branding and create a visually compelling offer.

This powerful combination of widgets and customization options ensures your upsell and downsell steps not only look professional but also help boost conversions.
