How do I get more merchants who view my listing to install?
Merchants decide in seconds. A listing that shows the result, the price and proof wins the install.
- Lots of views, few installs.
- What should screenshots show?
- Does pricing scare merchants off?
Check your listing analytics for views and installs. Lead with the outcome merchants want, show screenshots of results in a real store, explain pricing plainly including what the free plan or trial includes, and show proof: reviews, merchant counts if accurate, integrations and support response times. Test one change at a time and compare listing-to-install rate.
What merchants check
- What it does, in one line.
- What it looks like in a store.
- Price after the trial.
- Reviews from similar stores.
- Support quality and response times.
Test changes
| Element | Example test |
|---|---|
| Subtitle | Outcome versus feature |
| First screenshot | Storefront result versus admin screen |
