Redesigning the cart editing process for e-commerce platform

to enhance UX by providing faster and clearer flow.

OVERVIEW

VK Market is an e-commerce platform operated by VKontakte (VK), a popular social media network with over 500 million registered users worldwide. It serves as a marketplace where users can buy and sell a wide range of products, connecting buyers and sellers within the VK community.

DURATION

2 weeks

GOAL

Redesign the Cart in order to enhance user experience by providing fast and clear flow, so users can more easily navigate through the app.

MY ROLE

UX/UI Designer

How might we reduce user drop-offs at the checkout stage, boost the number of completed transactions, and increase the average value of each order?

Identifying the Critical Problems

Started research with a heuristic evaluation of the current app design, focusing on the user flow for adding items to the Cart.

Conducted a competitor analysis by evaluating 27 apps, identifying the best design patterns for strategic implemention to enhance UX of VK Market.

Validated my assumptions by conducting user testing with 5 respondents.

Each store has its own Cart,

so it is impossible to place

an order in several stores at once.

In order to remove only one item from the store, you need to go from the general Cart of all stores to the Cart with this item.

Impossible to add items from the Cart to Favorites.

Cannot enter the store’s promo code to display the updated total in the Cart.

The color and size of the item in the Cart are not specified.

If the item has price on sale,
the Cart does not specify how much the price is reduced

New Design with the JTBD Approach

Change the quantity of items in the Cart

JOB STORY

When I view the Cart, I want the ability to easily modify the quantity of selected items, so I can ensure I order the desired number of products.

The button indicating

and changing the quantity of items in the Cart is changed.

Add item to Favorites from the Cart

JOB STORY

When I want to add items from my Cart to my Favorites, I want the ability to add them with a single click or tap, so I can efficiently build and maintain

a personalized collection of desired products.

The option to add products directly to Favorites from the Cart has been added.

Remove item from the Cart

JOB STORY

When I view the Cart, I want the ability to remove individual items from different stores, so I can refine my purchase selection and only proceed with the items

I truly want.

When I remove an item from the Cart, I want a clear and intuitive way to do it,

so I can avoid any accidental removals and have confidence in my ability

to manage my Cart effectively without confusion or frustration.

When I remove an item from my Cart, I want to receive a confirmation message that the item has been successfully removed, so I can have peace of mind knowing that my Cart has been updated accordingly.

The removal of the item from
the Cart became more obvious

by adding the icon button directly to the card in the Cart.

Enter the store's promo code in the Cart

JOB STORY

When I view the Cart, I want the option to enter a store's promo code,
so I can
see the updated total based on the discount.

When I view the Cart, I want the option to enter a store's promo code,
so I can
experience a sense of exclusivity and access promotional discounts

not available to the general public.

When I have a promo code for a specific store, I want a designated area
in my Cart where I can easily enter the code, so I can promptly activate
the discount and confirm the updated total price for my order.

Now it is possible to enter

a promo code of the store.

The item's new price and the total cost will immediately appear

in the Cart.

Updating the Design System

As a basis, I used current design system by VK, while also creating new components that were not previously present.

Results

Testing of the updated app design showed that all respondents made the transition to placing orders from multiple stores 170% faster. This could potentially impact several metrics: the conversion rate could increase, the average customer lifetime value might increase, and we might see a decrease in the churn rate.
