01 · Brief

Two things to keep in mind

Enhance Flipkart’s marketplace model, giving sellers more visibility.Goal one · Sellers
Help users choose and buy products more easily and confidently.Goal two · Shoppers

02 · Problems

What was wrong with the old page

Old page: seller information

Sellers were invisible

Users didn’t explore who was selling the product.

Old page: sellers and offers

Users overpaid

Most bought from the preferred seller, unaware of a cheaper one.

Old page: pricing, delivery and offers

Poorly structured

Delivery and offers are seller-specific, but weren’t shown with the seller.

Old page: specification table

Overwhelming

Hierarchy needed work — let users skim, not drown.

03 · Business needs

What the new page had to do

Marketplace fairness

Users pick the best seller by price, reviews, offers and SLA.

Delivery and variants

Each variant is a product; sellers differ in price and delivery time.

Scalable design

Room for related products, combos and complete-the-look.

Intuitively navigable

A rich app: gestures, animation, fewer taps than the m-site.

04 · User experience

A shopper’s path to purchase

01

Swatches — lifestyle

Colour and size — the two criteria that matter most — in one selector.

05 · Interaction design

Information revealed on demand

Contextual interaction: information appears when asked for, and there’s more to discover the deeper you go.
