Streamline checkout for a DTC skincare brand

Design a clearer mobile checkout for Glow NG so fewer shoppers abandon after adding to cart.

  • 5–7 days
  • Mobile
  • Checkout flow

Brief

Product
Glow NG, a DTC skincare brand shipping in Lagos and Abuja
Task
Design a net-new mobile checkout to cut drop-off
Output
Checkout flow (cart → pay → confirmation)

User & problem

Amaka, 29, shops on Instagram and the Glow site. She adds serums to cart often, then abandons on mobile when forms feel long or payment options are unclear (card, transfer, cash on delivery).

Goals

Clarity
User always knows step and total
Speed
Guest or saved details path under a few minutes
Trust
Shipping, fees, and return hint visible before pay

Scope

In scope: cart review, address, payment method, review, confirmation. Mobile portrait.

Out of scope: full storefront, inventory admin, loyalty program.

Deliver

  • Flow map + 4–6 hi-fi screens
  • One unhappy path (failed payment or incomplete address)
  • Short case note: problem, user, decision, metric you would watch

Defense

What one checkout friction did you remove first, and what did you leave out on purpose?
