Opportunities to optimise
Consider your customers' journey when shopping online. What's their experience
when browsing new products, adding items to the basket and checking out?
Factors that may affect purchase behaviour
Mobile- Number of Payment
Guidance Load time Delivery Returns
friendly clicks methods
• Mobile-friendly. People expect an easy checkout process. Make sure that the checkout process
on your website is mobile-responsive, if not mobile-first. This includes browsing products, adding
items to basket and putting in the order.
• Guidance. From browsing to placing an order, the shopping experience should be seamless. The
checkout process should be easy for shoppers, meaning the information they need to put into
each field and next steps should be clear. Anticipate questions shoppers may have with readily
available resources, such as shipping and return information.
• Number of clicks. A complicated checkout process can head to higher drop-off rates. Requiring
a shopper to add their job title or surname (adds about 2 clicks or taps) or their date of birth
(adds up to 11 clicks or taps) could turn customers away.
• Load time. Slow load time on checkout pages can cause doubt in the mind of the shopper and
force them to exit before they complete their payment. Improve your website's page load speed,
particularly in the checkout process
• Payment methods. Accept local, modern and multiple payment options, such as ApplePay, to
reach broader consumers.
• Delivery. Research shows that shoppers are more likely to convert if fast and free delivery is
available. In this modern day, customers want their purchases to arrive as soon as possible.
• Returns. Some of your customers will want to return their purchases. Make this process as
simple and easy as possible. Try including a page on your site describing the return process in
detail or offering a prepaid return label.
