Visitors add to cart and vanish. On Jamaican stores the leak is almost always at payment or trust — not the product.
Quick answer: Offer bank transfer with proof, Lynk and cash on delivery beside card; show the delivery fee on the product page, not at checkout; add WhatsApp "ask about this product"; put reviews and real photos on every product; send an abandoned-cart message within an hour. Stores that do these five typically double conversion.
1. Card-only checkout
2. Delivery fee surprise
Show it early; offer a free-delivery threshold.
3. No cash on delivery
First-time buyers want it; cap the order value.
4. Slow product pages
5. No reviews
6. No WhatsApp on the product page
7. Weak photos
White background, three angles, one in use. From J$2,500 for 20.
8. No abandoned-cart follow-up
Email or WhatsApp within the hour recovers 10–20% of carts.
9. Hidden stock and variants
10. Nobody sending traffic
