Clarifying Subscription Architecture to Reduce Friction and Increase Conversions
Overview:
The client’s product page was underperforming due to confusion around subscription options and bundle structures. Customers struggled to understand:
Whether they were subscribing or making a one-time purchase
The difference between bottle quantity and subscription duration
How discounts were applied
Why pricing changed across options
This confusion created friction at a high-intent moment — the purchase decision.
The goal was to simplify the subscription model, improve pricing transparency, and create a clearer decision hierarchy to increase add-to-cart rates and checkout progression.
UX & CRO Improvements Implemented:
To address the low conversion rate, I conducted a comprehensive UX audit and heuristic analysis of the existing product page. Based on data insights (including click tracking and scroll depth) and eCommerce best practices, the following optimizations were implemented:
Strengthened Above-the-Fold Trust & Differentiation
Improved hierarchy under product title to reinforce credibility
Added clear UVP icons: Gluten Free, Drug-Free, Real Food Ingredient, BPA-Free.
