The eCommerce world changes every day, so as an eCommerce retailer you need to have your fingers on the pulse to stay competitive. In this digital-massive era, which eCommerce platform should I choose to build up my business online?

Starting in 2016, a lot of business choose Magento 2.0 to develop their eCommerce, since it features improved performance and scalability, better security, and a faster time to market. Magento is a feature-rich eCommerce platform solution, and today we will reveal 5 shinning features (with GIFs) that Magento 2.0 can bring to your eCommerce customers:

Let’s start this GIF party with a GIF…

1. Product Option Improvement

Your customer can view different options of your product on “product overview” page, without clicking into “product detail” page (as shown below).

This feature will certainly save time for users and improve their user experience.

2. One-click Adding to Shopping Cart

To follow up with No.1, user can directly add stuff to their shopping cart with simply one click on “product overview” page.

This will help user because clicking into “product detail” page means more time & data spent on another page loading. This feature will do its job with fewer clicks and less time.

3. 2-step Checkout

How many steps should your checkout process have?

We believe that every click can be regarded a “threat” to your eCommerce business, since every click offers visitors another chance to abandon the process. Thus, checkout process should have as few steps as possible.

Meet our 2-step checkout solution, which will make your checkout process faster and simpler.

The awesome thing here is: It does not require the full page to load when processing checkout, just change the content dynamically. These will decrease your abandonment rates to increase conversion rates of your products.

4. Product Comparison

This feature could be really interesting: In “product overview” page, mouse over to any product and you will see the “compare” button on the lower right.

Basically, new Magento 2 allow user to compare products in one page, seen below:

This is actually not a gif…

This will be very handy for customers when they are not sure which item to get and try to compare with one another. User do not have to open multiple web pages and switch over, now one page does it all.

5. Pop-up Modal Extension

The four features mentioned above are Magento 2 default functions. Here is a helpful extension we developed: the pop-up modal extension.

As shown below, the Magento modal widget implements a secondary window that opens on top of the main window. It contains the overlay and modal content, which does not require user to open a brand new page. This will improve the whole site’s efficiency on placing orders.
