Key Learnings
- The id.Me functionality was actually killing the checkout rate
- Making the checkout button more obvious resulted in customers finding it much easier to get to the checkout
- The drastic improvement in conversion rate clearly shows how much the poor UX was hurting the store's conversion rate.
- This change took very little time to implement but had a huge impact.
- Recommendation: Leave the mini cart for 30 days then view user sessions and heatmaps to see if any subsequent friction has emerged.
