Copy-paste answer

Short answer: for a digital product store, no reviews yet is often a trust-copy problem before it is a traffic problem. I would check whether the page clearly answers these before asking for the sale: 1. What exactly does the buyer get? 2. When does it arrive or how is it delivered? 3. What happens if it is not right? 4. How can the buyer ask a question before ordering? The likely gap is that the store lacks social proof and may be tempted to use vague badges. A practical first fix is to use honest process proof: product specifics, delivery expectations, return policy summary, and visible support access. For this niche, keep the copy focused on file delivery, access timing, usage rights, refund expectations, and support response. Avoid fake reviews, vague trust badges, fake urgency, or delivery promises you cannot prove. Useful free resource: https://starterfixsprint.com/shopify-trust-diagnosis-share.html
