In today's Seventeen Second Spark we chime in with some helpful tips to keep your Shopify Store looking fresh and running like a top.

Review your shipping - Shipping costs always seem to increase. Don't get caught loosing money on shipping. Review your rates and set them accordingly.
Check your abandon carts - are their too many? Why? Is it your shipping rates? If so, pad your product pricing and offer FREE SHIPPING on everything. Win that cart!
Add NEW content. Hey, we're all guilty of letting the home page slide once in a while. Freshen up that site with new images, content and videos. Give Google Spiders a reason to come and index your site.
Along with the tips mentioned in the video, you can request any new pages to be indexed immediately so you're not waiting to get your new content out in the world. Use this link to index your pages - https://search.google.com/search-console?action=inspect

In today's Seventeen Second Spark we are going to show you how to customize your tax override settings in Shopify. British Columbia recently updated / increased their tax settings on liquor sales. We received about 35 frantic calls or emails requesting help to adjust / update the tax settings without screwing up all of the other tax settings. Below is how you do it in under 10 steps.

To create a tax override in Shopify, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin account.
2. Click on the "Settings" tab in the bottom left corner of the screen.
3. From the Settings menu, select "Taxes and Duty".
4. Select the Country / Region for which you want to create the tax override.
5. Scroll down to the "Tax overrides" section and click "Add product override".
6. Select the province or state for which you want to create the tax override.
7. Enter the name of the product or collection for which you want to create the tax override. If it's a large amount of products, make a manual collection first then select that.
8. Enter the tax rate that you want to apply to the product or collection.
9. Save your changes.

Once you have created the tax override, the tax rate you specified will be applied to the selected product or collection instead of the default tax rate for the location. Note that you will need to create a separate tax override for each product or collection that you want to apply a different tax rate to.

I hope this help understand Tax Overrides, how powerful they can be and how useful they are. If you have any questions, or if you'd like to sign up for a monthly maintenance plan where we manage this sort of stuff for you, please don't hesitate to call us at 604 655-5592 OR pick a plan here:

In today's Seventeen Second Spark we are going to help increase the conversions on your Shopify website. The easiest way to increase conversions is to make your website as visually attractive as possible the second a customer visits. Use a visually appealing color scheme, high-quality images and videos, and a clean and organized layout. Take the customer on a journey down the page that opens up more imagery and info, just like a luxury hotel foyer.

Use big, beautiful images that showcase your products or services well. Make the writing easy to read and understand and mention the benefits over the features.

There are several more ways to make a website as appealing as possible:

1. Make it easy to navigate: Ensure your website has a clear and organized navigation menu, and make sure it's easy to find the information visitors are looking for.

2. Optimize for speed: A slow website can be frustrating for users. Optimize your website's loading speed by compressing images and using a fast web host.

3. Use clear and concise copy: Make sure your copy is easy to read and understand, and avoid using jargon or complex language.

4. Make it mobile-responsive: With more and more people using mobile devices to browse the web, it's important that your website is optimized for mobile screens.

5. Use social proof: Highlight customer reviews and testimonials to build trust with your visitors.

6. Keep it up to date: Make sure your website is regularly updated with fresh content, and fix any broken links or outdated information.

Overall, the key is to create a website that is user-friendly, visually appealing, and informative. By following these tips, you can make sure your website is as appealing as possible to your visitors.

In today's Seventeen Second Spark we are going to be talking about Shopify Markets. This is a relatively new section, in the admin settings, in Shopify and some of you might be caught off guard and have had your international shipping disabled because you haven't set up these settings yet.

Shopify Markets is a cross-border management tool that helps you identify, set up, launch, optimize and manage your international markets. To sell to different "markets", or global regions, you need to specify where (what countries) you want to sell your products.

Setting up Markets is easy. In your admin settings (bottom left hand corner) just click on settings, then up to Markets. There you would activate (enable) the global zone/region/country you want your store to be able to ship to.

If you need assistance in setting your Market's correctly, don't hesitate to reach out to us for help.
