Start Here

TL;DR

  • Put shipping and returns where anxious buyers look.

Shopify Product Pages I Won't Launch Until These Five Lines Exist - ecommerce guide from Tech Revenue Brief

I launched a Shopify product once with pretty photos and a poetic description. Support inbox filled with "does this fit a queen mattress?" I had buried the size chart.

Don't publish a product page until it states who it's for, what problem it solves, proof someone bought it, shipping/return truth, and one obvious buy button. Pretty copy is optional. Those five aren't.

The five lines

  1. Who it's for — in plain words near the price
  2. What changes after they buy — not vibes, outcome
  3. Proof — review, photo, or "used by X shops" if true
  4. Shipping and returns — above the fold on mobile if you sell physical goods
  5. CTA — Buy / Add to cart. Not "Learn more" fighting Buy

What I cut

I cut metaphor paragraphs. I cut "crafted with passion." I cut three competing buttons.

If you're comparing platforms later, Shopify vs WooCommerce is fine. First make the page answer the anxious question out loud.

The 10-minute test

Read the page on your phone in a loud cafe. If you can't tell size, shipping time, and return window without zooming into a FAQ, it's not ready.

Ship the boring clarity. Romance can wait for email flows.
