Traffic is up. Sales are not.

A Shopify merchant asked a question many store owners recognize:

“Is the website the problem, or are we bringing in the wrong traffic?”

Do not redesign the store yet.

Open Shopify Analytics. Choose one date range. Filter `Human or bot session` to `Human` where available, then write down:

1. Sessions
2. Sessions with cart additions
3. Sessions that reached checkout
4. Sessions that completed checkout

Split the same view by referring channel and find the largest drop.

If the drop happens before cart, investigate the source promise, landing page, product page, and offer first.

If carts stall before checkout, investigate the cart drawer, unexpected shipping or tax, forced upsells, and the checkout button.

If checkouts stall before purchase, test payment methods, shipping availability, errors, and the mobile checkout yourself.

The largest drop does not prove the cause. It gives you a better first place to investigate.

This is a public community question, not an Okiela customer claim.
