Background

The global COVID-19 pandemic seemed to be the time for people in the UK to take-up or rediscover cycling.

Challenge

Arguably the UKs biggest bike retailer, Halfords, wanted to improve their click-and-collect shopping experience for bikes.

Solution

A modal that allows customers to view all bikes that are available to click-and-collect from local stores of their choice on a product listings page.

Design Process

Previous to this features release, stock availability was displayed to users as a final ‘step’ on the PDP.

If the bike was not available at 1 of a user’s 5 nearest stores, the bike could not be purchased via click-and-collect.

Pain points

• Displaying stock availability so deep into the journey.

By asking for a user’s postcode earlier on in the journey, users could view all bikes available for click-and-collect on a single PLP rather than trawling through multiple PDPs in order to find a bike in stock.

To gain insight into whether users would prefer to view bikes in specific stores, or within a mile radius, I created two basic UX prototypes.

Firstly I sketched rough wireframes within Miro.

I then created higher fidelity prototypes to user test.
