Initial situation
This success describes a quick optimization experiment that aimed to improve the mobile shopping experience on a Shopify-based e-commerce site. The focus was on the visibility of the “Add to cart” button, an important interaction point in the conversion funnel. By fixing a common usability issue, the aim was to increase the conversion rate and reduce bounces due to navigation issues on mobile devices.
The aim of this test was to increase the site's conversion rate by simplifying the checkout process. Analytics data and usability tests had uncovered a recurring problem: mobile users often had to scroll excessively to find the “Add to cart” button. Even highly engaged users were leaving the page before completing the desired action. This showed a clear bottleneck in conversion.
Variants
Hypothesis
If the “Add to cart” button remains visible while scrolling,
Then the conversion rate will increase,
Because buyers do not have to search for the action they are already motivated to take.
Original
Variant
Changes: The “Add to cart” button remains visible while scrolling, even if the typical “Buy Box” area is no longer visible.
Test results
No segmentation was used; the test included all mobile users. The experiment ran for 14 days in order to collect sufficient data for statistical analysis.
The test confirmed the hypothesis. The variation with the permanently visible “Add to cart” button led to an increase in the conversion rate by 37%, which shows that a small improvement in usability can have a significant impact on user behavior and sales.
Conclusion
The winning variation was immediately rolled out to 100% of mobile users. This case highlights the value of focusing on high friction points in the user flow: by removing a single barrier to action, the team achieved significant gains in conversion efficiency.
This also highlights the potential of rapid, AI-supported CRO interventions to deliver measurable business results in a short period of time.
