Complete guide to configuring the Scale Theme product page: layout, blocks, bundles, and conversion techniques.
Optimize your product page for conversion
The product page is the most important page in your store. It's where the buying decision happens. A well-configured product page can double your conversion rate. This guide shows you how to leverage every Scale Theme option to maximize your sales.
The optimal structure
A product page that converts follows a precise psychological order:
ABOVE THE FOLD (visible without scrolling)
├── Image gallery → Show the product
├── Title + Price → Identify the product
├── Stars / Rating → Build trust
├── Variant selector → Choose
├── "Add to cart" button → ACT
BELOW THE FOLD (on scroll)
├── Trust Badges → Reassure
├── Delivery estimation → Reduce uncertainty
├── Description (tabs) → Inform
├── Social Proof Avatars → Confirm the choice
├── Timer / Stock → Create urgency
└── Recommended products → Increase cart valueStep 1: The layout
2 columns vs 3 columns
| Layout | When to use |
|---|---|
| 2 columns (60/40) | Visual products: fashion, beauty, decor. Gallery dominates. |
| 2 columns (50/50) | Products with bundles/complex options. Balanced media/info. |
| 3 columns (40/35/25) | Technical products with detailed specs. 3rd column = sidebar. |
For most stores, 2 columns 60/40 is the best choice.
The gallery
| Style | Description | Recommended for |
|---|---|---|
| Thumbnails | Thumbnails below or beside | Fashion, jewelry (precise navigation) |
| Stacked | Images stacked vertically | Products with few images (2-4) |
| Grid | Image grid | Products with many images (6+) |
| Slider | Horizontal slider | Mobile-first, clean interfaces |
Recommended configuration:
- Style: Thumbnails (most versatile)
- Ratio: Adapt (respects original photo ratio)
- Zoom: On (customers want to see details)
- Lightbox: On (full-screen view)
Step 2: Essential blocks
Blocks are in the right column (or center column in 3-column layout). The order you place them is critical for conversion.
Recommended block order
1. Stars
2. Title
3. Price
4. Divider
5. Variant Options
6. Bundle (if applicable)
7. Quantity Selector
8. Buy Buttons
9. Trust Badges
10. Delivery Estimation
11. Divider
12. Social Proof Avatars
13. Stock Indicator
14. Divider
15. Product Tabs or Collapsible RowsStars block
Place stars above the title. It's the first thing visitors see in the right column, and it immediately creates trust.
positioned just above the product title)
Trust Badges block
Place trust badges just below the buy button. The visitor just saw the price and button — reassure them before they hesitate.
positioned just under the buy buttons)
Delivery Estimation block
Delivery estimation reduces the biggest source of uncertainty for online buyers: "When will I receive my product?"
Social Proof Avatars block
This block displays stacked avatars with a message like "Marie and 1,500+ others love this product". It's powerful social proof.
Step 3: Create urgency (optional)
Urgency drives immediate action. Use it sparingly and honestly.
Stock Indicator
The Stock block shows how many units remain in stock. When stock is low, it creates natural urgency.
Countdown Timer
The Timer block adds a countdown on the product page. Ideal for flash sales and limited promotions.
Step 4: Bundles
Bundles are the secret weapon for increasing average order value. If your product lends itself to it, add a bundle block.
Which bundle to choose?
| Product type | Recommended bundle | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Consumable (cream, supplement) | Quantity | "Buy 2, -10% / 3, -15%" |
| With sizes (S/M/L/XL) | Variant | Each size = a tier |
| Complementary range | Pack | "The complete routine" |
| Wide range | Mix & Match | "Build your box" |
| Launch / Promo | BOGO | "Buy 1, get 1 free" |
Step 5: Secondary information
Below conversion elements, place detailed information customers consult before buying.
Product Tabs
Tabs organize information without cluttering the page.
Recommended setup:
- Tab 1: Description (auto-filled from product)
- Tab 2: Ingredients / Specifications
- Tab 3: Shipping & Returns
- Tab 4: Size Chart (if applicable)
Step 6: Sticky Add to Cart
The sticky ATC bar appears when visitors scroll past the main buy button. It stays fixed at the top or bottom of the screen.
