We all get compelling ideas or customer feature requests, but validating them often means custom coding or adding apps, risking store speed and stability. As a content strategist, I've found the best approach is to *micro-test* the underlying hypothesis using your theme's existing power.

This week, pick one recurring customer question or feature idea. Instead of a full build, use a built-in SaleHunter CRO feature—like a product badge, collapsible content, or promo popup—to address that core need on a key page. Track clicks on that element and compare its impact on your add-to-cart rate for that product this week versus last.

What's a recent feature request you've received? How have you validated new ideas without major development or app bloat?
