Day 1: Psychology of eCommerce

People can’t buy items that they can’t find or don’t understand. We’ll look into how people buy, and when, and explore what roles do time, distractions, working hours, interface copy play for buying decisions.

Then, we’ll explore optimal ways to list items and allowing customers to filter them, on desktop and on mobile. It includes navigation, search, sorting, compatibility, carousels, filters, feature/attribute comparison, zero-results-pages, configurable items and faceted search as well as search hits coming through search engines.

Day 2: Product Page

We’ll explore what really matters on the product page, and how do we organize all these little bits in pieces in an interface that is obvious and encourages action.

We’ll explore product images and pricing display, testimonials and reviews, form elements (mobile and desktop) and how to design a flow to move from product page to shopping cart (and back) in a predictable and supportive way.

Day 3: The Holy Grail, The Checkout

Checkout comes in different flavors. What to choose: multi-step checkout, one-step checkout or accordion-style-checkout? We’ll be spending a significant amount of time looking into all the fine details of shopping cart, account creation, personal information, shipping and store pickup, form labels, error messages, payment flow and methods, delivery times, credit card input, smart defaults, security seals, positive validation, autocomplete lookup and progressive checkout.

Day 4: Privacy UX and Authentication

When we ask for data abruptly and annoyingly, we are likely to get fake data. How do we ensure that we are getting accurate customer emails or their phone numbers (if we need them)? How do we ask for sensitive input correctly and conform to GDPR/CCPA along the way?

We’ll explore privacy, email verification, password input, authentication UX, 2-factor-auth, magic sign-in-link, social media sign-in, CAPTCHA, and how to ask for gender, age/birthday, phone number and personal details.

Day 5: Onboarding and Next Steps

The most popular feature that’s often requested when users get an onboarding tutorial, is the infamous “Skip” link. How do we educate our customers better then, to avoid abandonment and increase retention rate?

What web technologies can we use to help us get there? We’ll look into 1-Click-Checkout, Payment Request API, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay and how to use them, along with a full strategy on decreasing abandonment significantly.
