No sales - Is there something wrong with my store?

The_Brick_Doctor

Hello!
I'm a recent store owner on Brickowl. I opened my other store on Bricklink initially, where i've gotten some sales already.
However here on Brickowl it is still quiet.

When i look at my store settings, there have been over 350+ store views with 3 active carts.
But the orders remain absent.

Can you find any reasons why this is? Am I doing something wrong? Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I have over 13k items with 2500+ unique lots.

Just for reference.

Brick_qc

I have 180K+ parts and almost 12k lots, only 7 orders this month...it's called summer...

I can only see 'request a quote' as a postage option for me. If you don't have postage rates set up so people can see what they are paying before they buy, it will put a lot off.

Hoddie

You have some shipping methods with incredibly small dimensions, maybe you're putting cm into a setting expecting mm?

The_Brick_Doctor

@Brick_qc Yeah i know, but something seems of...
@Hoddie thanks for pointing this out! Fixed it!
@White Horse Bricks The weird thing is that I have a lot of options available, but it seems that request a quote still remains the only option available. Can I disable that?

The_Brick_Doctor

I have made some addition to my shipping options. Could someone please try it out if everything works please?

The 'total dimensions limit' here still doesn't look right:

You also have some methods marked as being for collection, when they're not for collection. Additionally, you have some with a minimum order subtotal limit, which prevents them being shown for anything under that amount

Miniadventureworld

no orders here since the 14th (in the UK) Fingers crossed its summer not the cost of living at present.

The_Brick_Doctor

@Hoddie Thanks for pointing that out! Had a second look at my dimensions and corrected them all.
@Lawrence Deleted that option, thanks for making it known to me! Also erased the minimal order as it is not that relevant at the moment.
@Miniadventureworld yeah i hope the same, lets see and wait.

It is also the slowest time of year, so might need a bit of patience, folks. :-)

Yeah my orders are lower than usual - steady but lower. Everyone out enjoying the sunshine

Good Luck in your ventures with your BrickOwl store. Hang in there and I am sure that things will take off. It is slower than usual as everyone has said, but this is a good time to get ready for the busy time.

I am still new (10 months), but learning everyday. My first few months were light, but now we are averaging about 20 orders a month. What helped my store grow at the beginning was that I had some things that people were looking for. I inherited some old legos from the 80's and 90's. There were some classic space, Futuron, and M-Tron sets in there. Those parts got interest and from there I added a lot of Star Wars Clone Troopers. There is also someone looking to build an army. Also, I tried to keep my prices on the lower end in the beginning to get people to come and take a look.

As you start to get business (I know that you will) you can add more inventory and attract more people.

Once again like a lot of folks on this site, we are pulling for your store to be successful. Welcome to the family and good luck.
