Problem Analysis

DATA & problem areas

  • High number of drop offs from the Review Order page

    Data revealed a significant drop-off rate from the Review Order page, that is users who do not go to Select Payment Method CTA on Review Order page after Buy Now CTA on PDP especially on the app, where it reached 32%.

  • 80% users placed COD orders

    An overwhelming 80% of the users prefer paying Cash on Delivery, rather than using online payment method. This strong preference shapes our focus on improving the checkout process, especially the payment stage, to ensure a smooth and satisfying shopping experience for the customers; while also improving the prepaid salience.

  • Cancellations due to address-related issues

    10% of order cancellations come from address-related problems.


    A common scenario is users canceling their orders due to address-related issues, only to later modify their address details and place the order again. This highlights the need for improved address management and flexibility within the checkout process to reduce these unnecessary cancellations and enhance the overall user experience.

Designing

Any user landing on Checkout page is a high-intend user. A redesign should focus on a smoother experience since user’s decision making is done for the product.

After analysing the data, benchmarking platforms and understanding the current flows, suggestions were made based on the current designs.

Payment Method Options:

No available payment options are visible for the user to choose from.


This might lead to increased mental load, as to how to make the payment and place the order.

Improved Delivery Address Journeys:
Bifurcation of journeys for Repeat User and First Time Visitors for address-related flows.

Possible by limiting it to Price summary, quantity and estimated delivery date. User’s focus needs to be decision making for payment and to complete the journey.

Grouping Payment Options

Grouping and limiting payment method options to the user would decrease the cognitive load & also fasten the process of decision making.


In order to motivate the user to choose online payment method, nudging can be done by showing savings & offers.

Delivery Address Prominence

Proximity next to the CTA for easier scanning and confirmation by the user for delivery.

Decluttered Order Summary

User has made their decision about the product. For easier scanning, information that matters the most at this moment - delivery date & product price needs to be given priority

Improved CTA Communication for COD (Place Order) & Pay Online (Select Payment Method)

Impact
