How to get my first sale? Lots of add-to-cart but no purchases

Question

Hi! I launched my Shopify store about 2 months ago, and I’m still struggling to get my first sale. I’m getting:

  • people adding to cart
  • visitors reaching checkout
  • some adding multiple items

…but they never complete the purchase.

I’m not sure if it’s my:

  • checkout settings
  • payment options
  • product pricing
  • lack of reviews
  • or overall trust issue

I really want to improve because I’m building this business with the long-term goal of retiring my parents early and giving them a better life. So I truly want honest feedback — harsh or not, I can take it.

Here is my store: https://theexcorner.myshopify.com/

My main questions:

  • What is stopping people from finishing their purchase?
  • Is my store giving a “dropship” vibe?
  • Do I need more trust elements or reviews?
  • Should I change my product titles or descriptions?
  • Is my niche too saturated?

Any suggestions to help me get my first sale would mean a lot. Thank you in advance!
