Traffic, no sales. (alien.top)

Hi all, so I've somewhat recently started a clothing brand TATYAXVERSE at tatyaxverse.co.uk my problem is I'm getting an okay amount of traffic around 30 people a day for a month or so but no sales.

So I would like to ask if there is something I am doing wrong or missing something? Some constructive criticism would be really appreciated!

It can be the tiniest thing that puts people off.

I haven't looked at the site ( yet) but when I click the link, will I know, inside 3 seconds:

Who you are What you sell And how you are going to make me happy?

We'll see....

Will take this into account and have a play around with the site. Also I placed a fake order a few days ago and it went through but only added google pay and apple pay yesterday, was it one of these two that failed? Really important you have pointed this out thank you!

It was credit/debit card rather than Paypal. I think the site message was "Payment gateway unavailable" or words to that effect.

Having learned the hard way I make sure we put a real live order ( you can void the payment afterwards ) on all our sites after every single code or site change. However trivial.

Always do a real order with a real card and not a sandbox test. There is nothing worse than getting to 4pm and realising you've not had a single order all day when there should have been a stack of packages to go by then. That hurts.

I have placed a real order and went through but am investigating what I can and have sent a few emails to see what went wrong. I am hoping this is not the reason for many lot sales. I have DMd you with a coupon if you were genuinely interested in the hat :)

I just love business and you need a sale. I'll try again over the next few days.
