• User Friendly-Navigation

To assist clients in finding the items they want quickly, a user-friendly navigation system is essential. Products should be rationally divided into groups, with the most well-liked groups being featured first (STAFF and Hines, 2022). 

• Product Reviews
  

The most common type of user-generated content on e-commerce websites is product feedback and ratings. Shoppers require social evidence that an item will meet their needs, and this portion of a product page on an e-commerce site is vital for that (STAFF and Hines, 2022). 

• FAQ for Products
  

A section of the most typical queries from consumers is another approach to include user-generated content into your online business. There are several ways that this area might benefit your store. By responding to your customers' most common pre-sales inquiries regarding your items, for instance, you may improve the number of transactions. Additionally, it cuts down on the time your customer support staff must spend responding to inquiries regarding items both before and after the sale (STAFF and Hines, 2022).

• Order Tracking 

When a consumer puts an order, their main concern is when their order will arrive (STAFF and Hines, 2022)

• Product availibility filter

Make it possible for customers to locate the goods that are offered with their desired pickup or delivery option promptly (STAFF and Hines, 2022).  

• Data Privacy 

It may be necessary for your website to have a policy that informs visitors of the information that is gathered about them on it using cookies from the website and other analytics tools, depending on the location of your e-commerce business and the clients it serves (STAFF and Hines, 2022). 

• Coupon codes

When confronted with a coupon or discount box on a checkout page, shoppers frequently do Google searches for coupon codes (STAFF and Hines, 2022).
