Inconsistent Badging placement and Styles

While we dig deeper with our audit, we found out that it’s not just about the buy button; but there’s a relationship between the badging system and the buy box.

 

How might we optimize the buy box to ensure our users understands the price, the content's unique attribute and the action they should take at every touch points?

We believe by building a flexible and scalable framework that allows marketing partners to rearrange the buy box information will help showing the best price always and reinforce membership value.

Based on the high-level takeaway, we iterated the design and launched the MVP of the Sale use case in Oct 2018. The launch has highly increased the sale revenue and conveyed better membership value.
