720 best practices on Cart/Checkout

• Data input fields

1. Same address for billing and delivery2. Ask for the same info only once (email for ex)3. Keep the number of fields to a minimum4. Show an example of how to fill the field5. Explain why you need that specific info (email, cnp)6. Use the “inline error validation” technique 7. Specify which fields are mandatory, do not over *










• Layout/design8. Use only 1 action button on a page / step9. Hide the main navigation menu during the enclosed

checkout10. Show the clear path / “breadcrumbs” on the

checkout steps (debate – 1.step, N.step)11. Make the guest checkout the most obvious option in

the layout12. 1 column in the form usability 13. Use trust marks especially near very sensible data

(cnp, address, email etc)










• Always use a LINEAR process/flow14. Do not break the linear flow for account registration

15. Do not distract clients with secondary action buttons such as “update quantity” (action/reaction)

16. Do not put an empty VOUCHER field in cart/checkout

• Be as TRANSPARENT as you can17. Show the product price as soon as possible – product

page, cart, checkout18. Show the TOTAL price (including taxes, delivery) as soon as

possible, not at the final step of the checkout process










• Text/descriptions

19. Be coherent in the use of your native language, be consistent

20. Use your native language in the right way (spelling, grammar)

Best Practices on Thank You Page

1. Start with a big THANK YOU on this page

2. Put a link to the orders history, and to AWB / postal/ courier tracking

3. Publish here, again, to reduce the anxiety of the fresh client, your contact data, your job schedule, showroom address etc + trust seals

4. Be creative with your LOGO/BRAND

5. Ask for feedback, now is the right time to ask them subscribe to a Newsletter, or to lke your FB page, to join a FB group, to share placed order

6. In this step it’s the right moment to create an account on your shop (only if they want to do it - tell them the main benefits)

15










7. TYP is the starting point where you should publish tips & tricks about using the products, show them what to do in case of return or problems, links to forums, or helpdesk

8. Put links to your best content on the corporate blog (blog: guides, tutorials, infographics etc), which will emphasize your authority (video guides)

9. Publish again some testimonials, showing how well other clients felt after they ordered the same products (text, video)
