Enhancing your PDPs can lead to increased AOV by encouraging customers to add complementary products:

Pro Tip: Implement 2-3 widgets on your PDPs—place one near the "Add to Cart" button and others further down the page to capture customer interest at different points.


🎁 3. Implement Dynamic Bundling Strategies

Offering product bundles can significantly increase AOV by providing customers with value-packed options:

  • Dynamic Bundles: Allow customers to add multiple related products to their cart with a single click, simplifying the purchasing process.
