Product pages are the lifeblood of your online store.

An effective product page shows potential customers what a product looks like, tells them what it feels like, and makes them envision their life with your product in it.

Unfortunately, creating killer product pages is not an easy feat. In fact, many brands struggle with product page design.

That's also the reason why we've crafted this article—to help you create eye-popping, high-converting Shopify product pages without a hitch.

In this piece, we'll cover:

  • Vital elements of any great Shopify product pages
  • Outstanding product page design examples from GemPages' customers
  • Easy guide on how to customize Shopify product pages.

The Basics: What is A Shopify Product Page?

In the simplest form, a Shopify product page is a page on your Shopify store that describes a particular product or service. This product detail page can include specifications like price, features, reviews, and product comparison.

An online store might have one or multiple product pages—depending on its business model. A single-product store might need only one product page, but a multi-product store demands various product pages.

Must-have Components of A High-Converting Shopify Product Page

Of course, you only need a product name, a description, and a call-to-action to create a bare-bones product page.

Nevertheless, Shopify product page templates with basic components are unlikely to sell, which highlights the need for advanced Shopify customization. The more stunning your page is, the more likely it will convert.

Here’s an overview of the key elements you can include on your Shopify product pages to make them equal parts stunning and high-converting:

  • An SEO-optimized, concise product title.
  • Pixel-perfect product media, including product images, gifs, and videos.
  • A detailed, intriguing product description.
  • Special offers and discounts.
  • Shipping information, return, and refund policy.
  • Ample customer testimonials
  • A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section
  • Compelling add-to-cart call-to-actions (CTAs)

From Trendy to Timeless: Shopify Product Page Examples That Slay

1. Swedishness

Swedishness, a Scandinavian food brand, knocks it out of the park with its one-of-a-kind product pages.

Typical Shopify product pages will more or less look like this: product images on the left; product details on the right.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with this.

But, Swedishness rings the changes on its product page design by locating all product details on the left and product visuals on the right. The black sidebar menu stays fixed throughout all of the different product pages.

Another thing we love about this product page of Swedishness is the video the brand slips in. As you click on the arrow, you are treated to a product video instead of another image. And, to your surprise, it's a cartoon video!

The brand doesn't produce the video—it's embedded from YouTube. No crazy efforts, but these small touches can revolutionize your Shopify product pages and your sales, too.

If you've decided this Julmust drink is a must on your Christmas dinner table, click on the black Add to Cart button, and you'll be directed to a checkout window right away. There, Swedishness continues suggesting products you might also like—a key move to increase average order value.

Swedishness's product page finishes off with the very last hook. We love how the brand maximizes the footer to highlight the refund policy. Bold, concise, powerful copy gives customers a feeling of security, makes them feel valued, and ultimately convinces them to purchase.

2. Saturnbird

Saturnbird is a visual brand, much like its product pages. A clean design style draws your eyes to a few key elements: the product, black copy, and an interactive button.

But the rest of its product page isn't as simple as what you see above the fold. Scroll down, and you'll find more infographics, gifs, and images to learn more about the product.

There are lots to fawn over here. First, the sleek gif visualizes how customers can make a smooth cup of iced latte with Saturnbird's product. Of course, this is not professional-level videography. But it's a gif, and people love moving things.

Underneath the gif is a step-by-step guide making it easier for customers to take a screenshot and save the recipe for future use.

Another fantastic thing about Saturnbird's product page is that it gives you a bunch of product details, but it feels anything but overwhelming. The product information, like ingredient details and product comparison with competitors, is displayed in such an intriguing way. No walls of text, just simple yet effective infographics.

The infrastructure of its product page is standard but exceptionally executed. The page has exquisite images, including lifestyle shots and minimalist photos that capture the entire product against a white background.

Underneath the Add to cart button, the brand uses a subtle but effective stock quantity display to trigger urgency. It also suggests another product that can be the perfect duo combined with the product you're currently viewing. You know, the cross-selling technique.

Since many undergarments are not eligible for a return, the brand does everything it can design-wise to reduce friction, questions, and returns. The Lingerist's product page includes as much relevant information as possible, like model size and whether the product fits you in your usual size.

4. Nutt

Nutt's Shopify product pages are modern-looking, colorful, and aesthetically pleasing with a mix of pastel color palettes, high-quality flat lays, easy-to-read fonts, and balanced spaces.
