Why Do People Shop Online?

Today, most people have experience with online shopping. It saves both time and money. Browsing the web in search of the perfect product at the best price can even be an enjoyable activity. Geographic boundaries disappear. Shoppers have time to explore, compare, read, and make informed decisions.

But today’s online customer is demanding. And very often, when choosing between “cheap” and “convenient” they pick convenient.

So what makes a modern online store truly convenient?

Key Elements of a Modern Online Store
Below is a brief overview of the core elements every online shop should have. It will help you prepare your wishlist so our first meeting can be as productive as possible. Take your time to look at how these elements work in other stores and what you do or don’t like.

1. Product Catalogue

The catalogue is the general product list with names, prices, photos/galleries, and an Add to Cart button. If a customer is not ready to buy directly from the catalogue, they can click the product photo or name to open the detailed product page.

When the assortment is large, the key question becomes:

  • How can shoppers quickly find exactly what they need?
  • What is important in a product catalog?

The following principles and features of the catalog will be useful to the buyer:

Clear catalogue structure

The user should intuitively understand which category or subcategory contains the desired item.

Product filters

essential for large assortments with different parameters (size, color, brand, etc.). The shopper gets a tailored set of results without wasting time on irrelevant products.

Breadcrumb navigation

Helps users understand where they are and easily move to other sections.

Sorting options

Sort by price, popularity, new arrivals, and more.

Favorites

A convenient way for users to save products they like and review them later.

Product comparison

Allows customers to compare similar products side-by-side to make a confident choice.
2. Product Page

After filtering, the customer opens the product page that caught their attention.

A strong product page includes:

  • Detailed description with all relevant specifications.
  • Zoomable product photos (video if possible.
  • Clear pricing, including discounts (original price, discounted price, and savings).
  • Stock availability.
  • A visible, clear Add to Cart button.
  • Contact form for additional questions.
  • Similar / recommended / promotional products.
  • Related products that complement the viewed item.
  • Product rating and reviews. Moderation of reviews is recommended to maintain quality.

According to Power of Reviews statistics, 87% of purchases happen only after online research. On average, a customer reads 10 reviews before buying. - We’ll return to this topic when discussing online marketing.

3. Shopping Cart

The customer has chosen their products. Great! But the purchase is not finalized yet. A well-designed cart significantly increases the likelihood of completing the order.

A high-quality cart should:

  • Work without requiring registration (but offer easy account creation).
  • Offer login via Google or social media.
  • Clearly display chosen products, quantity, price, and total.
  • Allow quantity changes via +/– buttons.
  • Emphasize discounts and bonuses.
  • Show product thumbnails.
  • Provide links back to product pages.
  • Include shipping methods and costs.
  • Include payment options.
  • Require as few fields and steps as possible.
  • Not cancel the order if the user is unregistered.
  • Notify the user about successful or unsuccessful order submission.

This list covers only the essentials. Your online store can include any features and sections you desire. Your wishes are our command!
