Research Outcomes

How might we

To get a clear vision of the product features, we collected Insights from the user research and identified their needs to create How Might We and Point of View statements. 

How might we help Elora to get the lowest-priced product that suits her needs?
  • Group-buying feature will help Elora to get lowest-priced product
How might we help Elora to check what her friends and family are buying and using?
  • Show Product Review
How might we help Elora to check how many products are sold?
  • Show Product Sold Data

Information Architecture for Social E-commerce App

The IA is organized around the new user’s signup and group buy features. The hierarchy below includes both user onboarding and group buy features. To eliminate extra steps and provide the user with a faster and better experience, we have kept fewer screens on the app.

Sketch and wireframe

Final Thoughts

Conducted user testing on our high-fidelity mockups in Figma to see how users complete signup. After this step, we asked them to purchase and invite their friends to join group-buying. 

Overall, the feedback was positive and users were able to signup easily and complete group-buying task with minimal errors. Future iterations will involve how to improve group-buying feature’s CTA and microcopy for users so that they understand it without any delay.
