The sections that make your online store sell more

Every visitor arrives with the same quiet questions: is it good, is it for me, how much in total, when will it come, can I trust this shop? A section that sells is simply one that answers one of these questions at the moment the visitor asks it. Here are fifteen, in the order they matter.

One rule first: the product page does most of the selling

Ads and social posts send people to a product, not to your home page. Spend your effort there first, then on the cart, and only then on the home page.

Product page: the eight sections that close the sale

A product page on a phone with five numbered sections: real photos, quantity offers, a short order form, a photo review and a guarantee
The five sections that do most of the selling, in the order buyers meet them.
  • 1. Pictures and video. Several real angles, one picture in use, one short video. Most buyers decide here, before reading a word.
  • 2. Quantity offers. “1 for 199, 2 for 349” right above the button raises the order value without cutting the price of one piece. See the Quantity offers app.
  • 3. A short order form on the page. Name, phone, city, address — no account, no extra step. See the Quick Order Form.
  • 4. Product reviews with photos. A buyer’s photo answers “is it really like the picture?” better than any text. See Reviews.
  • 5. Guarantee. One plain sentence: what happens if the size is wrong or it arrives damaged.
  • 6. Delivery estimate. “Arrives between Tuesday and Thursday” is easier to believe than “fast delivery”. See the Delivery Date Estimator.
  • 7. Us vs others. A simple two-column comparison with what buyers usually get elsewhere. Only claims you can keep.
  • 8. Ask us on WhatsApp. For the visitor who has one last question. It turns a closed tab into a conversation.

Honest urgency: real numbers only

Fake countdowns and “23 people are watching” banners are easy to spot and hurt trust. On CODOS Store, the urgency sections read real data:

  • Stock left shows the real number of pieces in stock.
  • Recent orders notice shows the first name and city from real orders of the last 48 hours — when there are none, it stays hidden.
  • Limited offer counts down to the end date you set for a real offer, and flash sales change the prices on the server, so the price really goes back up.

Home page: the five sections that send people to a product

  • 9. Hero banner. One promise, one picture of the product in use, one button to your best seller. Not a slideshow of five ideas.
  • 10. Scrolling promises. A thin line of short facts: delivery in 48 hours · pay on delivery · exchange in 7 days.
  • 11. Featured products. Your best sellers, with price visible, two per row on phones.
  • 12. Testimonial slider. Three or four real customer words, with a first name and a city.
  • 13. How to order. Three steps (order, we call to confirm, pay at the door) — it removes the fear of a first online order.

Cart: two sections that raise the order value

  • 14. Free delivery bar. “Add 60 MAD more for free delivery” — set the threshold just above your average order. See Free shipping bar.
  • 15. One add-on, not ten. A small related item at the right moment: frequently bought together on the product page, or an order bump in the form.
Quantity offers inside the order form: buy 1, buy 2 or buy 3 with the price of each
Quantity offers on a real product page.

Sections that cost you sales

  • A slideshow that moves before the visitor has read the first slide.
  • Pop-ups on the first second of a visit, before anyone has seen a product.
  • A home page so long that the first product appears after four screens.
  • Reviews nobody can believe: all five stars, same style, no names.
  • Ten apps all shouting at once. Pick the three that answer your buyers’ real questions.

Questions people ask first

Which section increases sales the most?

On most stores: real photos and a short order form on the product page, then quantity offers and photo reviews. Start there before touching the home page.

How many sections should a product page have?

As many as there are questions buyers really ask — often six to nine. If a section answers no question, remove it.

Do countdown timers work?

Only when the offer really ends. A timer that restarts on every visit is noticed, and it costs trust on every other claim you make.

Do I need to pay for these sections?

On CODOS Store, sections and apps are included in the plan, with no extra fee per app.
