Overview

Why Implement an Easy Payment Service on The Hyundai App?

  • Service OverviewThe Hyundai.com is Hyundai Department Store’s online platfrom. offering premium services for VIP customers and fresh groceries.Through short-form and live content, it delivers the department store experience in real time.
  • Project IssuePurchase conversion rate was 28%, and it took customers over 42s from product selection to purchase
    completion, resulting in high drop-off. GA data analysis identified the order form as the main drop-off point.
  • Project Objective

    Conversion Rate :

    Up to 50%from Previous

    Optimized Purchase time :

    Checkout Within 10s

  • Target AudiencePrimary Users : Women aged 40–50. Top Membership Segments by Purchase Conversion and Revenue

Summary

Refined through three design iterations informed by user insights and analytics,
the Easy Payment Service was launched with optimal quality.

Iteration

Problem Definition

Decision

Result

01

Low purchase conversion rate
Conversion rate 28%

Hypothesis-driven design :
Implemented Easy Payment via bottom sheet UI

Customer validation :
Redesigned checkout UX for faster payment

02

The information hierarchy needs to align with the user flow

Internal test :
Reorganize payment information architecture prioritizing user verification needs over structural alignment.

Customer validation :
Reduced hesitation and friction during checkout.

03

32 day post-launch analysis revealed 17% cancel-repurchase loop

Customer-validated benefits :
Delivered H.point usage &discount benefit details based on GA data driven

Customer validation :
Conversion rate increased by 75% time reduced under 10s

Iteration 1_ Speed Over Perfection

Problem

With a purchase conversion rate of 28% and over 42s required from product selection to checkout,
we observed significant user drop-off at the pre-purchase order form stage.

Trade off & Decision

Chose fast iteration and deployment over a full checkout restructure to drive immediate conversion gains.

Alternatives
Option A :

Preserved structure, optimized layout

Soution :

Fixing the Pay button will likely increase the purchase conversion rate.

Option B :

Redesigned structure, reduced information

Soution :

Minimizing the need to scroll would improve the purchase conversion rate.

Issue

Development constraint :

Complex code structure prevented full order form redesign within timeline. Preserved structure, optimized layout

Research

Platform Benchmarking : Why Bottom Sheet Works

UI Implementation

Keeping consistent with the existing order form while guiding users
toward a faster checkout flow with minimal changes.

Iteration 2_Reframing Information Hierarchy

Problem

After introducing the simplified payment UI, users still experienced confusion due to unclear information hierarchy during checkout.

Decision

Through customer validation interviews, we restructured the information hierarchy around customer priorities and eliminated UI friction points in the payment flow.

Research & EvidenceIssue

User interviews indicated that customers primarily focused on final payment amount, applied discounts, and delivery information when confirming payment.

  • Insight 01

    Over 50% prioritize the final payment amount,
    followed by product info and discount details.

    Age 2030s (2 participants)

    Total amount → Product info Discount details
    → Shipping confirmation

  • Insight 02

    Shipping is generally just quickly confirmed
    unless it’s a special case like gift delivery.

    Age 40s (3 participants)

    Total amount → Detailed discount Delivery date
    → Refund method

We conducted interviews with five users in their 20s - 40s, balanced by frequency of using the simple payment service.
UI Implementation

Structure key information based on customer priorities :
Product info (total amount & discounts)
→ shipping info
→ Payment method toward a

Result

·Improved clarity during the payment step.

·Reduced hesitation and friction during checkout.

·Established a clearer foundation for further data-driven optimization.

Iteration 3_Data-Driven Refinement & Conversion Impact

Problem

Post-launch analysis over 32 days showed that 17% of completed
orders involved a payment cancellation
followed by re-entry and repurchase.

Trade off & Decision

Integrated H.Point and detailed discount visibility into payment
flow, boosting Purchase Converison Rate(PCR) by 75% and reducing checkout time to 6s.

Research & EvidenceIssue

Out of 250 total, 43 canceled payments GA4 data from March 27 – April 28 (32-day funnel analysis)

  • Check
    discount details
    25
    ·
    Users receive 5 base discount benefits, and as high-involvement products include more product discounts, VIP discount details become increasingly important.
  • Using
    H.point rewards
    18
    ·
    H.point is Usable on & offline and affiliates.
    ·
    Points can be used like cash (₩), from 1 up to 9,999,999 points.

User interviews (Age 20s - 40s)

  • Core users, particularly mid-aged female
    customers, showed a strong tendency to carefully
    re-verify discounts and rewards at the final step.
  • Interviews confirmed that missing or unclear benefit
    information increased hesitation right before payment,
    even when purchase intent was high.
UI Implementation

·Exposed H.Point balance and usage status at the payment stage

·Expanded discount details in a structured, scannable layout to support quick verification without leaving the flow.

    Issue :

Reflections

Key LearningsOverlooking key customer needs : Discount details and H.Point usage during initial order form
analysis highlighted the need for more thorough research validation and sufficient testing before launch.
Retro insight
01

Missing analysis of customer-preferred
areas based on the initial order form.

In focusing on scroll and button fixation in the existing order form,
I overlooked a more detailed analysis of the Payment Zone Information
Check (Iteration 1)

02

Overlooked the detailed analysis of
customers by membership type on the
Hyundai.com platform.

There was a lack of analysis on why customers
at different membership levels.

03

Why was this overlooked
in customer interviews?

The oversight occurred because the interview questions were
primarily focused on addressing the initial design issues,
without delving into the existing order form’s functionality.

04

Need for more refinement
during the research phase.

Refined research is needed, including not just
customer interviews and tests, but also behavior analysis.
