Best Practices for a High-Converting Sticky Button

To make your sticky Add-to-Cart button more effective:

• Keep it visible but unobtrusive: Make sure the button doesn’t cover important content, especially on mobile.
• Use clear, action-driven text: Phrases like “Buy Now”, “Go to Checkout”, or “Secure Checkout” perform better than generic “Add to Cart.”
• Match your brand style: Use your brand colors and typography to keep a consistent shopping experience.
• Test placement and size: Try different button positions or sizes to see what drives more conversions.
• Ensure mobile responsiveness: Sticky elements should adjust smoothly to various screen sizes.
