Your checkout is elite. Your product page is the problem.

Of everyone who adds to cart, 72% buy. That is genuinely rare. But only 7.86% of visitors ever add to cart, so 92% leave the product page without touching it. The six percent everyone congratulates you on is a world-class checkout hiding a leaky front door.

01  /  Before anything else

The US market cannot check out.

Assuming the US launch has started

No shipping rates exist for the United States

We are working on the assumption that US traffic is arriving from today, which is why this sits first. The US market is Active with USD Dynamic FX and the tend2.com domain attached, but there is no US shipping zone in any of your three shipping profiles. Shopify's own warning in your admin reads:

Customers in United States won't be able to check out because there are no shipping rates for this market.

Canada is Active with the same gap. Your currency selector also offers Canada in USD rather than CAD.

Two more that compound it. The Bundles Free Express profile has a Europe zone covering the United Kingdom with no shipping option attached, so bundle products cannot be purchased in the UK at all. And your Afterpay snippet is gated to AUD only, so every US, UK, NZ and Canadian visitor loses the Afterpay messaging your Australian visitors see, on a product where instalments matter at the $89.99 tier.

US taxes are set to Not collecting and there are no return rules configured for the market.

02  /  Where the money actually leaks

One number changes the whole plan.

Twelve months of Shopify data, not estimates. Watch where the drop happens.

Sessions541,852  ·  up 32%
100%
Added to cart42,591  ·  7.86%
499,261 sessions left without adding to cart
Reached checkout36,145  ·  6.67%
Completed checkout30,654  ·  5.65%

Read it backwards. From add to cart, you convert at 72%. That is top decile and it is not the thing to fix. From session to add to cart you convert at 7.86%, and that is where 499,261 people a year walk away.

Meanwhile conversion is down 8% year on year while sessions are up 32%. You are buying more traffic and converting a smaller share of it. That gap widens the moment US spend scales.

MOBILE IS NOT A SEGMENT

492,500 of 541,852 sessions

Mobile is 90.9% of your traffic. Desktop is 8.4%. There is no desktop conversation worth having, and any product page work that is not mobile-first is work aimed at one visitor in twelve.

Your top landing page is the Hangover Aid product page at 347,160 sessions. The homepage still takes 84,855, so roughly one in six paid and organic arrivals lands somewhere that has to sell from scratch.

Findings

tend2.com.au  ·  Champion 1.5.0  ·  audited 6 August 2026

ItemImpact
A dead app is still loading on every page Your theme renders a PreOrder Now snippet that loads a blocking script from preorder-now.herokuapp.com on every single page view. The config baked into it is dated 2023, the trial expired November 2023, and its selectors target Shopify themes from 2020. The app is not in your installed list. It also left two orphaned templates behind. This is the single heaviest thing on your site and it belongs to software you no longer use.
Speed / mobile
Critical
Two email platforms are both switched on Klaviyo and Omnisend both have active theme app embeds. Two full email and SMS platforms injecting tracking on every page, both building profiles, both billed monthly.
Speed / cost
High
The Afterpay snippet sits outside the document It is placed after the closing </html> tag, which is invalid markup, and it prints your entire product object as JSON into the page on every product view. It is also disabled for every currency except AUD.
Speed / US
High
The subscription migration stopped halfway Recharge did $144K last year and is down 23%. Loop did $77.1K and is flat. The old platform is still doing nearly twice the volume of the new one, and the Recharge theme embed is still sitting in your settings. Combined, subscriptions are 7.2% of revenue, which is low for a product people use repeatedly.

Discounting is growing faster than the business $199,412 in discounts last year, up 46%, against revenue growth of 35%. That is 6.8% of gross sales and it is accelerating away from you.

High
Free shipping is priced above your entry product Entry SKU is $49.99, free shipping starts at $79, Parcel Post is $10. A first order costs $59.99 or gets pushed to a bundle. AOV sits at $77.38, which is $1.62 short of the threshold. Almost nobody is clearing it.
AOV

Your subscriber login link is broken The footer Subscriber Login link outputs raw Liquid tags into the page instead of a working URL. Every subscriber who tries to manage their plan from the footer hits a dead link, on a base of $221K in subscription revenue.

Social share links point to the wrong domain Facebook, Pinterest, X and email share links all use tend2.com rather than tend2.com.au. Every organic share your Australian customers generate sends people to the US storefront.

Your own numbers disagree with each other The site says 1,000,000 doses in one place and 1,300,000 in another, 41,000 customers on collections and 61,000 on the product page. Trustpilot publicly sits at 3.8 while the site claims 99.4% satisfaction. Anyone comparing you to a competitor mid-decision sees the gap.

04  /  The app stack

Twenty two apps. You need about twelve.

Costs below are the recurring charges visible in your admin. They exclude usage fees and every app that bills outside Shopify, so the real number is higher.

On a stack this size the realistic total is USD $3,000 to $5,000 monthly. Consolidating the duplicates above should recover somewhere between $1,500 and $2,500 a month.

Your theme is not broken. It is stranded.

THE CORRECTION

Champion is better built than you think

You are on Champion 1.5.0 by Loess, with 1.6.3 available. It has been delisted from the Shopify Theme Store and can no longer be bought, which is the real problem.

But Loess was founded by two people who spent five years at Shopify as the developer and design leads on Dawn. The code is good. What you are actually carrying is 428KB of theme CSS and JavaScript on every page, plus two runtime dependencies pulled from a public CDN, on a site where nine in ten visitors are on mobile.

So the case for moving is support and future products, not quality. That makes the migration lower risk than you have been assuming.

THE PART THAT COSTS MONEY

You are migrating your best asset

Eurus is a sound choice. Fifty two sections, a built-in bundle builder, before and after sliders, ingredient panels and lookbooks, currently on 10.1.0 and updated last month. Everything you described wanting is in it.

The risk is that your 72% cart completion rate was built by two years of your own undocumented decisions. Half a point lost in a migration is roughly $250,000 a year at your current volume.

So this is a preservation job with a design attached. We identify what is earning before we move anything, then rebuild it deliberately on Eurus rather than hoping it survives the copy across.

06  /  The product page

Same brochure. Three more decisions.

You said keep it simple and keep it to three or four clicks. Agreed, and nothing below adds a page or a step. It adds reasons to act on the one screen where 499,261 people a year currently do nothing. Drag the handle.

WHY THIS AND NOT MORE

You cannot out-claim the TGA

AUST L 419830 caps what you are permitted to say, so the job is not louder copy. It is proof density and reasons to size up, delivered on a phone screen in the first two thumb-lengths.

You already have the strongest assets in the category. Fifty active ingredients at clinical doses, a two-capsule system nobody else runs, a 0.6% return rate and Australian manufacture. Almost none of that is working above the add to cart button, where the decision is actually made.

Or do not pick anything

Start Snowball this week and the entire list above becomes its first ninety days. Same work, same order, no line items to choose between, and it keeps going after the list runs out. The markets fix happens in week one either way, because that one cannot wait on a decision.

Phase 2  ·  optional

The September build

This is a separate decision and it does not need making today. When it does, you are not locked into Eurus. Two routes, same price, and we will tell you honestly which one your store needs once the audit findings are fixed and we can see what is actually left.

ROUTE A

Eurus migration

Your pick, rebuilt properly. Every converting element identified and carried across deliberately, plus custom ingredient and supplement facts sections. Faster, cheaper to maintain, constrained by what the theme allows.

ROUTE B

Custom build

No theme ceiling. Built around your two capsule system, the bundle ladder and a three product range from the start. Slower, more flexible, better if the nootropic and sleep products change the shape of the site.

INCLUDED EITHER WAY
  • Six months of Snowball Full, worth $24,000
  • Architecture that holds three products and a Plus move
  • Mobile product page work carried across
  • 50 / 25 / 25 payment terms
$58,000
Build plus six months of Snowball
08  /  The other option

Or skip the list. Meet Snowball.

Everything above is a one-time transaction. Snowball is the alternative: your store gets watched, fixed and upgraded continuously, and the list above simply gets worked through without you choosing anything. You asked two hard questions on the call, so those get answered before the pitch.

If it changes something every hour, how do I read what moved the needle?

Changes ship in weekly cohorts, not continuously, and each cohort is tagged to one metric. Maintenance work with no measurable downside, like the dead PreOrder script or a broken subscriber link, ships immediately. Anything touching the buying decision is isolated and held for a clean read, and it runs through Intelligems since you already have it.

Your changelog sits on the same axis as your add to cart rate, so every movement has a dated list underneath it. When a week is too noisy to call, we say so rather than claim it.

How does this coexist with the external CRO agency doing our funnels and offers?

Lanes, not overlap. They own the offer, the funnel and cold traffic landing pages. Phil and the Scale team own traffic. Snowball owns the machine underneath: theme, product page, cart, speed, apps, markets and anything breaking.

When they specify a change, Snowball ships it, so their work lands in days rather than sitting in a queue. The failure mode you are avoiding is three parties editing one theme with no shared record. Snowball is that record.

What happens when the nootropic and the sleep product launch?

Product launches are in scope. New product pages, bundle and cross-sell logic, and the collection architecture a three product range needs. The Plus decision gets modelled with real numbers when it is close, including what your fees actually negotiate down to, because the number on the standard offer is rarely the number you end up paying.

Start with the emergency. Decide the rest after.

Two ways to run this. Buy the fixes as one-off items, or start Snowball and let it work through them. The first week looks identical either way.

This week

Markets

$2,400
  • US and Canada can check out
  • UK bundles purchasable
  • Afterpay in all five markets
  • Happens either way, first
Next week

Cleanup

$7,500
  • Dead scripts stripped
  • Duplicate apps retired
  • Mobile speed report before and after
  • Likely recovers $1.5k to $2.5k a month
Then, ongoing

Snowball

$2,500 to $4,000 /mo
  • Absorbs the rest of the fix list
  • Then keeps improving past it
  • Core or Full, switch either way
  • Cleanup savings offset most of Core
  • Three month minimum
Phase 2 · optional

September build

$58,000
  • Eurus migration or custom build
  • Decide closer to the date
  • Six months of Snowball Full included
  • 50 / 25 / 25 terms
The honest maths

Cleanup should recover between $1,500 and $2,500 a month in duplicate app spend. At $2,500 a month, Snowball Core is close to paying for itself out of money you are already spending, before it improves a single thing.

10  /  Next

What happens if you say go.

  1. US and Canada shipping zones built today, so nothing you spend in the US lands on a checkout that cannot complete.
  2. Dead scripts stripped this week, with a mobile speed report before and after.
  3. Mobile product page work starts from there, on Champion, so it earns before September rather than after it.
  4. Phase 2 stays open. We give you a straight recommendation on Eurus versus custom once the site is clean enough to judge.

No proposal meeting needed. Tick what you want above and send it, or reply to this link with one line. If Snowball is the easier call, say so and we start Monday with the markets fix. Anything you do not want, we do not build.
