With every passing year, the Indian eCommerce industry is becoming increasingly competitive. More than 100 brands are fighting to capture the attention of the same set of shoppers and trying their best to convert them into loyal customers. One interesting thing that’s happened in the process is that shoppers are seeing new trends everyday and enjoying the benefit of being spoilt for choices.
But, at the same time, this shopper base is also giving eCommerce brands a hard reality check. From leaving product reviews to abandoning carts due to lengthy checkout processes, there’s so much that Indian consumers are teaching brands every now and then. We, at GoKwik, study these market trends and opinions and build effective solutions that help online retails increase conversions. One such product that we built in recent times is a best-in-class one-click checkout solution.
In this blog, we'll delve into
- What is a one-click checkout?
- Important of one-click checking in helping eCommerce brands increase conversions
- Five distinct ways how GoKwik's one-click checkout stands out in the market.
What is One-Click Checkout?
In layman's language, one-click checkout means helping shoppers complete online their purchase with a single click. The primary objective of one-click checkout is to make an otherwise lengthy checkout process as seamless and quick as possible. This includes, storing user information securely and allowing them to complete transactions with minimal effort.
In other words, the smooth process of one-click checkout eliminates the need for shoppers to go through repeated steps such as re-enter shipping information, payment dates, and more to place an order now and in future. The phenomenon reduces friction and enhances a shopper’s overall experience. From a brand’s point of view, it increases conversion rate and overall customer satisfaction score (CSAT).
To give you an example, Sara is a frequent online shopper. She adds items to her shopping cart, proceeds to the checkout page, and instead of going through the traditional multi-step process, she sees a "One-Click Checkout" button.
With one click, the system automatically fetches her details from past orders and takes her directly to the payments page to complete the transaction. Sara not only avoids the hassle of entering details manually every single time, but creates a frictionless and time-efficient experience for her.
The Need For One-Click Checkout in eCommerce Today
In the dynamic landscape of Indian eCommerce, competition is fierce and consumer expectations are continually evolving. There’s an exhaustive need for solutions like one-click checkout which help eCommerce brands stand out and give their customers the ease of shopping. Besides the convenience, there are so many other frictions that innovative features like one-click checkout help to solve. Let’s take a look.
1. Reducing Cart Abandonment
Cart abandonment is a major issue in the Indian eCommerce market despite many advancements over the years. It still sits at a 70% industry high rate. And, issues like account creation and lengthy forms at address stage continue to lead the path. Here, one-click checkout solves these issues once and for all. It simplifies the entire buying process of a shopper and eliminates friction while minimising the chances of shoppers abandoning their carts.
2. Enhancing User Experience
At this very moment, user experience is one of the most essential and key components that differentiates a brand from others in the eCommerce industry. Shoppers are drawn to platforms that offer convenience and efficiency. One-click checkout caters to this demand. It provides them with a hassle-free, seamless checkout experience that resonates with modern, time-conscious users.
3. Encouraging More Purchases
Another reason why one-click checkout stands out is that it opens the door to quick buying. As mentioned above, people are time-conscious today. They want everything quick. One-click checkout caters to this need and ensures effortless online shopping. From an eCommerce brand’s point of view, one-click checkout encourages conversions and increased sales.
4. Fostering Customer Loyalty
Customer retention is always better than customer acquisition. That’s because it costs nearly 5 to 25 times more to acquire a new customer than retaining an old one. But, with features like one-click checkout, eCommerce brands can not only attract new customers but foster loyalty among the return customers. Shoppers are more likely to return to a platform that values their time and pays attention to a user-friendly experience.
5. Adapting to Mobile Shopping Trends
With the surge in mobile commerce in India, optimising the checkout process for mobile users has become critical. One-click checkout is particularly beneficial for mobile shoppers, who often prefer a streamlined process on their smaller screens.
5 Ways How One-Click Checkout Helps Increase Conversions
Serving the industry for about three years now, GoKwik has studied many different aspects of the Indian eCommerce market. Of the many pressing concerns that folks at GoKwik have identified, one of them is offering a seamless checkout experience to shoppers.
To address this concern, GoKwik designed a fast checkout process that not only helps an online store offer existing and potential customers smooth shopping experiences, but allow brands to clock in higher conversion rates. Listed below are some ways how one-click checkout by GoKwik enjoys supremacy in the Indian market flooded with competition.
1. Simple & User-Friendly Interface
The user interface of GoKwik's one-click checkout is highly intuitive. Rather than taking shoppers on a separate landing page, GoKwik’s checkout opens as a pop-on. Within this pop-up, users can find all the necessary information and complete the purchase with just a single click.
The simplicity of this features lies in the fact that it,
- Removes unnecessary form fields and steps.
- Minimises the effort required for customers to complete their purchase
- Reduces the likelihood of cart abandonments.
A seamless and straightforward path to purchase encourages users to click that "Buy Now" button. And, that’s exactly what GoKwik’s one-click checkout ensures.
2. Optimised For Mobile
A quick and hassle-free mobile checkout process is a game-changer for increasing conversions, especially for shoppers on the go. GoKwik’s one-click checkout easily adapts itself to different mobile device screens and ensures a seamless checkout experience every single time. From a merchant’s point of view, its functionality helps cater to a wider audience base and clock conversions from every possible aspect.
3. Secure And Reliable Transactions
Security is a top priority at GoKwik. The one-click checkout feature is backed by robust APIs, encryptions and authentication measures that help ensure customer data remains secure all the time. This includes their personal data and payment information as well.
Although a few handful of platforms also offer one-click checkout, GoKwik enjoys reliability and security of transactions, building trust with partner merchants and end-consumers.
4. Highly Customisable To Business Needs
GoKwik’s one-click checkout enables eCommerce brands to eliminate email address login and replace it with more secure options like OTP verification or login via Truecaller. This makes it easier to capture a wider audience base, especially those in the Tier III, IV and beyond cities.
5. Better Performance
GoKwik’s one-click checkout lays much emphasis on speeds and efficiency. It provides shoppers with a seamless checkout process by leveraging advanced technologies and optimization techniques. Meanwhile, from a brand’s point of view, it helps store essential information that facilitates quick repeat purchases and reduces the chances of cart abandonments and bad shopping experiences.
How Does One-click Checkout Work?
Even though it’s a very simple process, allow us to break it down for you. When you shop online and use one-click checkout, here's what happens:
- First Time: If you are a first time purchaser, you’ll be asked to login, enter your address details, and payment information (if you wish to pay via credit card, debit card).
- Saved Information: You made your first purchase by paying via a credit card. The checkout backend will securely save your payment details owing to tokenization.
- Future Purchases: The next time you shop with the same retailer (in the case of GoKwik - on any of its 1200+ partner merchants), your stored details are used, and you’re directly taken to the address page. Authenticate your information and click continue to complete your purchase.
Let’s take the Bombay Shaving Company for example. As soon as a shopper adds items to their cart on the brand’s website, a checkout window pops up powered by GoKwik. If they’re an existing shopper on the GoKwik network, they’ll directly land on the address page.
One there, they can easily select a delivery address and move to the payments page with just one click. Shoppers not only get the leverage of auto login but can skip adding address information again and again.
One-click checkout helps save time, reduces the chances of errors and disruptions during the process. From a brand’s point of view, one-click checkout helps increase app and website conversion rates, increase customer satisfaction score, and build a loyal customer base.
