We have Big News to share! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that HeyCarson has transformed into ShopExperts! 🚀

Over the last 8 months we’ve transitioned our 9 year old service business from a more typical mid market agency to a Shopify freelancer platform - most of our team members who were once staff developers, designers and project managers, are now successful freelancers. + we’ve added 20 more talented experts to our network.

We’ve rebuilt our platform and it’s time to start the rebrand.

We still love connecting people in this ecosystem and have some new ideas up our sleeves.

Brands, agencies and app teams can hire from our roster of vetted experts for small and large projects.

Optimization check-list

In this week's list, I've compiled 3 simple cart page tips that some brand owners overlook. Take a look!

1. When you come back to the site, the items you added to the cart will still be waiting for you.

2. All the key product details are displayed in the cart: title, image, selected variant, quantity, and price.

3. The correct product image is displayed for the selected product variant.

Prepared with all three? Well done! If not, that's okay.
