If you are running an Ecwid storefront, you know that keeping your customers on the page is the secret to high conversion rates. However, many merchants make the mistake of linking to raw PDF catalogs or wholesale price lists. When a shopper clicks that link, they are yanked away from your shop to a boring browser tab, often losing their place in the checkout funnel.
Forcing mobile users to download large PDF files is a friction point that kills sales. To fix this, you need to embed your documents directly into your site layout.
