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.
❓
Would users prefer…
Choosing which stores they’d like to collect from
or
Choosing how far they’d be willing to travel to collect the bike
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.
