Customer Experience
Mini Cart

mini cart

A Merchant One Mini Cart is used to keep the customers updated with their shopping cart status while they are browsing a product’s detail page. It shows the number of items in the shopping cart and cart total by default. However, this can be customized by modifying the templates.
My Pocket

my pocket

My pocket contains quick links to some of the mostly used features like forgotten password, order tracking, etc.
Order History
An order history with all order information of current account can be found at [My Account] -> [Orders] -> [Order History]. A registered customer may always log in to the system and go to [Order History] to check the status of orders he has placed or details of any past orders.
Order Tracking

order tracking

Because the system provides one-page express checkout which allows unregistered customers to checkout anonymously, there needs to be a way for those customers to track their orders without the need to logging in and looking at [Order History]. An order can be always tracked by entering its order number.
Wish List
A wish list is a personalized list which contains all the products that one would like to own from the store. It can be shared between friends and searched by the owner’s email address or username on the site. Friends and family can select a perfect present by looking at one’s wish list. This can potentially improve customer experience and boos the sales of the site.
One-Page Express Checkout
Merchant One offers one-page express (anonymous) check-out process to help merchants minimize order abandonment. Order abandonment is one of the main issues that all e-tailers face. Some customers change their minds and leave the site before the checkout proceeds to the end. Some unregistered customers simply leave when they see a sign in/sign up page after they click the BUY NOW button. The express checkout can be disabled from the back-end system.
Save cart items for later purchase
Merchant One offers customers the option to save unwanted cart items for later purchase, rather than simply delete them. Those products will be displayed to remind the customer at future checkout.
Ratings & Reviews
Most customers prefer ecommerce sites with user generated product ratings or reviews and think it is extremely helpful if they can see what other people say about the product that they are thinking of purchasing. Ratings & reviews not only increase consumer satisfaction, trust and confidence, but also help most of the buyers make up their mind to place the order. Ratings and reviews can be managed by the administrator from the back-end system. Free store points can be rewarded to customers who post reviews that are helpful to others. This feature can greatly improve the conversion rate of a site.
Edit Qty in Cart
Customers may edit the purchase quantity of products directly within the shopping cart.
Password Recovery
A quick link of Forgotten Password can be found in My Pocket or on the sign in page. A customer may receive an email with a password recovery link by entering the email address which was used in registration.
Browse History
Browse history reminds customers of recently viewed products by showing a list of the last five products/categories viewed in the store. This is typically used in the shopping cart and on product pages to allow easy navigation to products already viewed.
Favourites
When customers browse through your site, they can add any products of interest to the favourites list at any time, so they can always come back and find these products easily.
