Storefront that converts, merchandising that protects margin - the growth hiding inside your own site - Scope an ecommerce engagement

Consulting engagement

Ecommerce merchandising and storefront CRO - the growth hiding inside your existing traffic.

Npexpos restructures category architecture, PLP and PDP experience, on-site search, promos and checkout - so the traffic you already have earns more revenue, at healthier margin, without another round of acquisition spend.

Why Npexpos for ecommerce merchandising?

Most ecommerce programmes confuse CRO with button-colour tests. We treat storefront experience as a merchandising system - category, search, ranking, promo mechanics and checkout - all optimised against margin, not just conversion rate.

Merchandising as a system

Taxonomy, PLP sort order, badging, cross-sell and promo mechanics are treated as one system, not five disconnected backlog items.

Research-led, not aesthetic-led

Session replay, funnel analysis, on-site search logs and qualitative research - so changes respond to what users actually do, not what a workshop guessed.

Margin-first CRO

We optimise for contribution margin per visitor and average order value, not just CVR - because "more conversions on low-margin items" is rarely a win.

Platform-aware

Shopify Plus, Magento/Adobe Commerce, commercetools, BigCommerce - we work with the platform you have and do not manufacture replatforming projects you do not need.

Discrete phases, each shipped with decision logs and owners

The ecommerce engagement - in 8 phases

Structured like a flagship programme, run as a consulting sprint. Each phase delivers an artefact your ecommerce, product and trading teams can own and reuse.

Funnel & behavioural diagnostic

Traffic segmentation, step-level CVR, drop-offs by device, session replay patterns and on-site search dead-ends - the evidence base before any redesign.

Taxonomy & category architecture

Category tree rewritten around how buyers actually shop - navigation, filters, breadcrumbs and SEO-friendly URL structure.

PLP ranking & badging

Default sort by contribution (not just popularity), badging rules, out-of-stock handling, promo amplification - wired to merchandising rules, not individual overrides.

PDP experience

Gallery, variant selection, social proof placement, cross-sell, delivery messaging and stock urgency - ordered against observed purchase hesitation, not what "looks busy".

On-site search overhaul

Query log analysis, synonyms, tuning, personalisation and zero-result rescue - often the single highest-impact workstream in the whole engagement.

Promo mechanics & pricing display

Discount logic, bundling, basket thresholds and price presentation - optimised for AOV and margin, not just conversion rate theatre.

Checkout & post-purchase

Address, payment methods, guest checkout, error handling, trust signals and post-purchase upsell - every step de-frictioned and measured.

Governance & experiment programme

Experimentation cadence, prioritisation scoring, decision log, stakeholder review, and a handover so the in-house team owns the programme.

Frequently asked questions

Is this CRO in disguise?

There is overlap, but the scope is broader - merchandising mechanics, on-site search, promo logic and taxonomy sit alongside traditional CRO work.

Do you work with our platform?

Shopify Plus, Magento/Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, commercetools and custom stacks are all supported. We adapt the work to what your tech team can realistically change.

Do you lead the re-platforming decision?

Only as a last resort. Most engagements prove you can get 80% of the gains on your existing stack - and we say so if the data supports it.

How is success measured?

Revenue per visitor, AOV, contribution margin per visitor, checkout completion and time-to-stock-out - picked against the business goals we agree on in week one.

Can you run the experimentation programme for us?

Yes, we can operate the programme during a 90-day sprint, or advise and upskill your in-house team.

Can you train our in-house team?

Every engagement includes enablement sessions for trading, product and engineering so the programme continues without vendor dependency.
