Now who doesn’t like getting advice while shopping? On my honest assessment, I always find it extremely helpful and engaging. Imagine yourself browsing the internet in search for good vacuum cleaner when you stumble upon a piece of feedback about the product, commending its functionality and features. It not only relieves the insecurities you might have about the product, but also helps you understand the product better. But what makes it more effective is when it comes from a fellow shopper himself. Adding Magento 2 Testimonial extension by Slowininfotech for you store can help customers make informed decisions about your products and boost conversions and sales of your store during the process.

There is a fine line that separates online stores from brick and mortar shops. Unlike brick and mortar shops, online shoppers must interact with the store if they have a query about the product or store policy. In other circumstances a small chat with the salesman could suffice. But online shoppers are often seen searching answers to the simplest of questions while shopping for products. Questions like, “can I complete checkout without making an account”, “how to add products to my wishlist” and “what is the return policy of the Store” etc. Such questions do not require an entire exchange of emails with the customer. You can use Magento 2 FAQ extension. All you need to do is assign answers to the most frequently asked questions and the extension will display it, rank it and create a dedicated page for all the other FAQs.
