Starting from scratch, Shopify's 30-day store tutorial - Day 19


In yesterday’s tutorial, we revealed two main reasons why Shopify stores cannot profit from Facebook ads. Today, we are going to learn important tips for “mobile optimization” of Shopify stores.

Even though you may have set up your Shopify store on a desktop, that doesn’t mean buyers will only buy your products from a desktop. They may simply pick up their phone and shop.

Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone. If you run an e-commerce business, whether it is on Shopify or other platforms, you will miss out on a large part of your sales if you don’t optimize it well for mobile.

So at this point you might ask, how can I optimize my Shopify store for mobile devices? Don’t worry, this article will talk about 3 Shopify store mobile optimization tips. ‍


3 Tips for Optimizing Your Shopify Store on Mobile


Since mobile phones have been widely used, the amount of e-commerce transactions on mobile devices has increased significantly every year. Take the Shopify store Common Panda as an example. More than 90% of its transactions occur on mobile devices. Not only that, more than 90% of the store's traffic also comes from mobile devices.

Since mobile traffic is so large, you can start with the following three aspects for mobile optimization of Shopify stores:


1. Focus on optimizing ads for Android and iPhone, and ignore tablets


Common Panda spent over $100,000 on advertising over the past decade, only to discover that tablet users don’t convert well. If you want to maximize conversions while minimizing ad spend, stop targeting tablet users.

If you are a beginner, you should carefully consider whether to run tablet ads.


2. Use a mobile-friendly website theme


Some of the themes we introduced earlier are optimized for mobile devices. In addition, it is recommended that you use themes on WordPress.org to meet your e-commerce business needs. They are very user-friendly, reliable, and you can install them for free on your own domain name and domain hosting website.

You can use any free theme that is fairly basic but visually pleasing.

In the case of Common Panda, the store uses the Shopify Booster theme. But if you come across a store you like and want to know which theme it is using, assuming it might be a WordPress theme, then just use WhatWordPressThemeIsThat to find out what that theme is.


3. Make sure certain features on the product page work properly


In addition to general mobile optimization, you also need to make sure that other features of your Shopify store are available on mobile phones.

You need to test and ensure that the following functions work properly:

  • Test the add to cart button;

  • Test the entire payment process on your phone;

  • Test every aspect of your store theme on your mobile phone.

If your theme doesn’t have a built-in device preview feature, like the Shopify Booster theme, you can use a tool like ScreenFly to view your store from other devices.
