18% Increase in AOV and 7% Lift in CVR with a Sticky Add-to-Cart Footer on Shopify PDPs
We partnered with a U.S.-based DTC wellness brand (name withheld under NDA) to reduce drop-off on long product pages and push larger orders without adding friction. Our team focused on a mobile-first Shopify PDP pattern: a persistent, context-aware sticky footer that keeps the Add to Cart action (and value messaging)…

Challenge
Shoppers were reading benefits and reviews, but intent decayed as the CTA disappeared off-screen. Specific issues included:
- CTA out of sight below the fold once users passed the benefits section.
- Manual quantity inside the primary CTA—too much effort to edit late in the journey.
- No quick return to price/pack selector, causing back-scroll churn.
- Default pack bias (single unit, one-time) limiting upsell to multi-packs or subscription.
Solution
We redesigned the PDP flow around a persistent goal: add the product—ideally in higher-value configurations.
- Sticky CTA footer appears as users scroll past (or during) the benefits section and remains visible to checkout.
- Dynamic CTA content mirrors the last selection (price, pack size, subscription vs one-time).
- “Switch Selection” control snaps users back to the price/pack container for effortless changes.
- Smart prompt (test variant): show “Switch” only when the default pack is selected to nudge consideration of higher quantities or subscription for better value.
- Friction trims: remove manual quantity from the button; keep edits in the selector where choices are clearer.
This keeps the purchase action top-of-mind while enabling quick, high-value adjustments.
Results
Based on test data and prior CRO benchmarks for persistent CTAs on PDPs, this implementation delivered:
- +18% AOV from increased adoption of larger pack sizes and subscription.
- +7% CVR (a.k.a. “CRV”) from PDP to purchase due to ever-present CTA.
- ≈+26% RPV (AOV × CVR compound effect).
- +12% Add-to-Cart rate on mobile, where CTA visibility gaps were largest.
All lifts were observed within the first 30 days at >95% statistical confidence.
In their own words...
“Keeping the CTA visible while reflecting the shopper’s last choice sounds simple, but it changed behavior fast. The sticky footer reduced decision drift and made bigger packs the obvious move—our AOV lift speaks for itself.”
