Quick answer: A supplement and wellness brand was seeing a significant number of customers start checkout but very few complete their purchase, and needed a comprehensive audit to identify friction points, usability issues, and trust concerns. Amwhiz scoped the audit carefully against the brief, drawing on directly comparable past checkout optimization work.
What Was the Brief?
The client wanted an expert to optimize their checkout process and increase conversion rates. Their current data showed a clear gap: a significant number of customers were beginning checkout, but very few were completing their purchase. They needed a comprehensive audit of the existing checkout experience to identify friction points, usability issues, trust concerns, and missed conversion opportunities.
The brief called for:
- A complete audit of the existing checkout flow
- Identified issues that may be causing cart abandonment
- Recommendations prioritized by expected impact on conversion
- Specific changes the partner would implement, and the reasoning behind each one
After the audit, the client wanted specific recommendations implemented to create a smoother, more intuitive checkout experience that would ultimately increase completed purchases. Because the business sells peptides, the brief also flagged that whoever took on the work needed to understand the unique challenges of marketing and selling in this space, including customer trust and compliance considerations specific to the category.
How Did Amwhiz Approach the Project?
Amwhiz scoped the work carefully against the brief before starting, drawing on directly comparable past checkout audit and conversion optimization projects, rather than applying a generic checklist to a category with its own trust and compliance sensitivities.
What Results Did the Project Aim to Deliver?
- A smoother, friction-reduced shopping and checkout experience aimed at improving conversion
- More accurate, real-time inventory visibility across sales channels
Conclusion
By scoping the work precisely against the brief and drawing on directly comparable past projects, Amwhiz helped move the engagement from an unfinished brief to a professional, ready-to-launch result.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a checkout audit typically look for?
A checkout audit examines usability issues, unclear or unexpected costs, trust signals, payment options, mobile experience, and any technical friction that could cause a customer to abandon their purchase after starting checkout.
Why do so many customers start checkout but not complete it?
A high start-to-completion gap usually points to a specific point of friction rather than a general problem with the product, such as an unexpected cost, an unclear step, limited payment options, or a lack of trust signals at the moment a customer needs reassurance.
Are there special considerations for checkout optimization in the supplement industry?
Yes. Categories like supplements and peptides often carry additional trust and compliance considerations, so checkout improvements need to account for how the business builds customer confidence and meets category-specific requirements, not just generic conversion best practices.
