Many merchants are excited about launching their online stores, but they forget a very important step: testing the store before launch.
This step is what makes the difference between a professional store that succeeds from day one and one that crashes with the first customer visit. Especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the market is highly competitive, and any simple mistake can cause you to lose many customers.
1. Why should you test your store before launch?
Because as soon as customers encounter a problem, they leave the site and never return. It's not enough that the design is good or the prices are reasonable. If the site has technical errors or a poor user experience, your chances of making a sale are significantly reduced.
2. The most important elements you should test
– Website loading speed: No one likes to wait! Every second of delay can cost you a customer.
– Mobile compatibility: More than 70% of visitors in Saudi Arabia shop on mobile.
– Ease of navigation: Customers need to be able to find the product they want easily without getting lost inside the store.
– Payment gateway testing: Ensure that the payment process is working properly and smoothly.
– Checking the registration and login processes: They must be simple and secure.
3. How do you conduct a comprehensive test of your store?
Start the entire journey as if you were a customer, from entering the homepage to completing the purchase. Note any obstacles or inconveniences. Then, carefully review the basic pages such as:
– Product page
– Cart page
– Payment page
– Order confirmation page
4. Tools to help you test your store
There are powerful tools that make testing easier, such as:
– Google PageSpeed ​​Insights for speed testing
– BrowserStack for testing the store on different devices and systems
– Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity for monitoring customer movements and analyzing the user experience
5. Common mistakes that occur during launch
– Forgetting to connect payment gateways correctly
– Errors in the shipping calculation process
– 404 error pages appearing
– Non-responsive design
– Problems sending emails to customers after purchase
