We have launched dozens of stores, and the same ten things separate the ones that sell from the ones that stall. Check every box before you spend a taka on ads.
Product & trust
1. Real product photos — customers can forgive plain design, never blurry photos. 2. Complete product info — size, material, warranty, delivery time on every page. 3. Visible policies — returns, refunds, and delivery charges before checkout, not hidden in a footer.
Money & checkout
4. Local payment methods — in Bangladesh that means bKash and Nagad beside cards and COD. 5. Guest checkout — forced registration kills up to a third of sales. 6. A checkout under three steps — count them; every extra step leaks buyers.
Operations
7. Live inventory sync — selling what you do not have destroys trust fastest. 8. Order notifications — SMS or WhatsApp at every stage: confirmed, shipped, delivered. 9. A same-week delivery answer — slow delivery is the #1 reported reason for abandoning local stores.
Growth
10. Tracking from day one — GA4 plus a pixel, so from the very first sale you know which ads pay and which burn.
