Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

At this point, you’ve almost certainly seen Facebook Carousel Ads in your newsfeed. They’re highly engaging and can be very effective sales generators for certain businesses. I’m a big fan of using carousel ads to promote e-commerce businesses , and in my opinion, the carousel ad should be the go-to format. Of course, you can’t paint all companies with the same brush and it would be irresponsible to say that carousel ads are guaranteed to be the winning ad format for all e-commerce businesses.
