Overcoming E-Commerce Friction

Shopease's previous platform suffered from a fragmented user journey. High cart abandonment rates and poor product discovery were severely limiting their digital growth potential.

The insight: Shoppers didn't just want to buy products; they needed a clear, guided path to checkout without unnecessary steps. Every additional click or confusing UI element became a point of friction that led to drop-offs.

Business Goals

  • Reduce cart abandonment rate by 15%
  • Increase average order value
  • Enhance product discoverability

User Goals

  • Intuitive navigation and search
  • Clear, transparent pricing and shipping
  • Seamless, single-page checkout

Understanding E-Commerce Friction

To improve the shopping experience, I focused on visual clarity and reducing cognitive load throughout the user journey by analyzing the drop-off points.

Checkout Funnel Analysis

Analyzed the drop-off rate from add-to-cart to successful purchase.

Cart Abandonment Research

Surveyed users to understand why they leave items in the cart.

Competitor UX Audit

Reviewed leading platforms to identify established e-commerce design patterns.

Heatmap Review

Evaluated click and scroll behavior on the previous product detail pages.
