WooCommerce Optimization
Reduce Cart Abandonments & Increase Average Order Sales
Search "WooCommerce Optimization" on Google, and you'll be swamped with tips on boosting your WordPress WooCommerce site's speed. Many of these suggestions, like downsizing images or switching to specialized hosts like Liquid Web, are essential.
We, at Connected Systems, proudly implement these measures too.
But shouldn't we look beyond just speed? Keen on curtailing cart abandonment? Eager to amplify your Average Order Value?

Customized WooCommerce Checkout Page
While the default WooCommerce page is functional, it is far from optimized. Some themes such as Astra do a decent job of improving it, but we like to take the checkout even further with a much-improved layout.

As you can see in the screenshots, our custom layout adds important elements such as social proof and customer service info giving potential customers the confidence to complete their checkout.
Checkout Upsells and Post-Checkout Upsells
Now that you have a Custom checkout page and your conversion rates have increased, the next thing you should add are Cart Upsells. These can be in the cart as shown here.
"In Checkout" Product Upsell
"Post Checkout" Offer
Our last client had 7% of her revenue come from order bumps and up-sells.
In-cart Upsells tend to work better with lower-priced items and are shown in a place and at a time when the customer is ready to complete the order. Adding a small discount is often enough of a nudge to get the customer to check the box and boom, you have just increased your Order Value!
Post-purchase Upsells can be more expensive products, although we have found that larger discounts or offers work better here. Again the customer as this point in the process is still in the buying "mood".
Cart Abandonment Recovery
Even with a Slick Custom Checkout and Upsells in place, you are still going to have carts abandoned. The key here is to have an effective system in place to recover these abandoned carts. During the month of May, our client saw 30% recovery in carts. Good emails and good automated structured can reclaim a large amount of revenue.
