What your customers are trying to do
Shoppers ready to buy want to buy.
A online store website usually has to handle a fast, trustworthy checkout, product pages that answer buying questions, email capture for repeat sales, product reviews and gift cards.
A fast, trustworthy checkout: every extra step at checkout loses some buyers.
Product pages that answer buying questions: size, fit, materials and delivery times decide the sale.
Email capture for repeat sales: repeat customers cost less to reach than new ones.
Product reviews: shoppers look for reviews from other buyers before paying.
Gift cards: gift cards add sales in gift seasons.
