Expansion
The Interstitial page proved effective, site wide Fresh AOV lifts, in ~281 KRW and ~130 KRW(total site wide AOV lift of ~411 KRW), respectively. It is true that customers have forgotten to purchase the Fresh items they need or got interested in recommended items. We started to explore if there are more great opportunities to apply the Interstitial page to remind them before they checkout.
(*The session abandonment rate dropped from ~3% to ~1.3% over time as customers became familiar with the new flow)


Interstitial Page - Expanded to Underthreshold Checkout for Cart
.png)
Those who want to quickly checkout with under-threshold Fresh Cart purchase, they can face the blocking popup on their cart. It only allows them to navigate to Fresh home which doesn't help those customers bridge the threshold gap. It does nearly help them narrow down items, and discourages them after spending more time to add items to meet checkout threshold causing a large portion of customers to abandon.
Original Under-threshold Flow on Cart
If we recommend a highly personalized list of items that customers may be interested in adding to their under-threshold order when customers attempt to make an under-threshold Fresh Cart purchase, customers will have an opportunity to fill the delivery threshold gap with items they needed and / or wanted to buy anyways and complete the purchase which will lead to increase in Fresh AOV, GMV and Buyer Conversion

Ideate
I designed the existing gauge and message on fixed top of the Interstitial page and deactivated the CTA so that the customer could take the main action of adding more items to fill the unfilled area. In addition, the existing button that leads to Fresh Home support the secondary action when customer couldn't find any items to fill. When proceeding with the UT, there was a problem of copywriting on the 'Add to cart' button and snack bar after adding it. So after fixing that, five most likely to purchase widgets were recommended: the FBI, better value bundle item, missed coupon reminder, life-saver item reminder and saved item reminder. By recommending them to this new Interstitial funnel, it was a successful AB test and was launched.

Interstitial Page - Expanded to Fresh
Under-threshold Checkout for Direct Buy
With a success of launching to Under-threshold for Cart, the same design was applied to the Direct Buy funnel on Single Detail Page(SDP) since customers are allowed to click Direct Buy from SDP with an under-threshold Fresh item, and the blocking message tries to redirect customers to Fresh Home with little relevant advice on what Fresh items to add to fill the threshold gap. Customers may find additional items they want to purchase to fill the threshold gap on Fresh Home, but customers wanting a quick and convenient shopping may not find Fresh Home helpful as Fresh Home is not personalized and there are too many Fresh items to consider for purchase.

We have iterated to test 3 times to improve item sanity filtering. So the key improvement was to make sure we segregate customers who intent to just visit Fresh Home and search for items vs. Customers who are not sure what items to add so they want Coupang to provide some guidance. We expose a highly personalized list of recommended items that they may be interested in adding to their under-threshold order t those customers attempting to Direct Buy an under-threshold Fresh item. while we still redirect customers to Fresh Home who would prefer to see more Fresh selections. then customers will have an opportunity to fill the delivery threshold gap with items they needed or wanted to buy anyways.

Interstitial Page - Expanded to All Retail Product Checkout for Cart
We then expanded the interstitial to core retail product checkout In order to help customers to remind item that they might miss out during the shop in Coupang. So that customers reduce number of orders that needs to be bought together for the current order. This led to an increase number of units sold per order that leading to increasing the AOV while a tension for this funnel was considered. We had usability test for UX issues that user might encounter thru this core checkout but found no frictions. We quickly AB tested and it successfully launched with a great business impact.

Interstitial Page - Expanded to All Retail Product Checkout for Direct Buy
We expanded the Core interstitial to Direct Buy purchasers who order items over the threshold, In order to help them to remind items that they might miss out so they can have ordered together with their DB order. This would lead to an increase in the number of units sold per order and AOV. For this interstitial page, I designed
what customers generally could purchase together. which is items from their cart.

Widget Layout Exploration
I've explore to design the different types of widget layout specifically for this feature, I design the horizontal way because it looked most similar to their cart layout. So the items can be much familiar to Cart layout.
Button Text change & Quantity picker

I design the different types of button for this feature since change quantity is an opportunity to make customer adjust the items at ease.
