CONTEXT

FreePrints PhotoTiles,
A high checkout drop-off

Users are dropping off at the checkout stage, with nearly 60% failing to proceed from cart to checkout, indicating friction in the final purchase flow.

PROBLEM

Users need support during the product creation process.

From an online survey of 1,007 UK and US users, we found that users needed additional support throughout the photo creation process. This uncertainty about the product ultimately led to a high checkout drop-off rate.

UX Framework

Established UX guidelines tailored to an e-commerce company, evaluated the app, and set the strategy direction.

  1. Smooth Flow

The current purchase journey: selecting photos → visualizing it in the space. We need a flow that starts with imagining the space first, then choosing photos that fits.

  1. Easy Photo Selection

41.5% of PT users reported difficulty selecting photos. We offer many product options, but from UT, I found that customers may not be fully aware of them.

  1. In-context Viewing → Upsell Opportunity

We need to provide more product information and enough tools to help users visualize how the product will look in their space.
