Shopify Merchandising Audit Needed

Job ID: 40254066

Budget: $250 – $750 AUD

Commercial Merchandising Audit – Shopify Custom Apparel Store (Pre-Launch)
Overview

We are an Australian custom apparel e-commerce brand preparing for launch.

Our Shopify site is approximately 75% complete, including Zakeke product customisation flows.

We are looking for a commercially-minded e-commerce merchandiser to conduct a structured review and provide prioritised recommendations before we begin paid traffic.

This is not a design task and not a development rebuild.
This is a merchandising clarity and commercial optimisation review.

Objective

Improve:

Product page clarity

Merchandising hierarchy

Template positioning

Choice simplification

Visual coherence

AOV opportunity framing

Customisation journey logic

The goal is to ensure the store feels clear, intentional, and commercially strong before launch.

Scope

You will:
Audit 10–20 core product pages
Review collection structure and merchandising logic
Assess how design templates are positioned and sold
Evaluate default selections and decision flow
Identify areas of cognitive overload
Suggest improvements to content framing, imagery and layout
Highlight bundling or upsell opportunities
You are not required to rebuild pages — only to provide structured recommendations.

Deliverable
Structured written audit OR detailed Loom walkthrough
Clear prioritisation (High / Medium / Low impact)
Commercial reasoning behind each recommendation

Specific examples where possible
Required Experience

You must:
Have real Shopify merchandising experience
Have worked in apparel, print-on-demand or configurable products
Understand how merchandising impacts conversion and AOV
Think commercially, not just aesthetically

Bonus:
Experience with Zakeke or similar customisation tools
Experience preparing stores for launch

To Apply
Please include:
2–3 Shopify stores you’ve helped merchandise or refine
