💪🏻 Jobs-to-be-done
Lazada Merchant Center Homepage
Based on user research, it show that Thai users are unfamiliar with LazadaPay as a payment platform. To address this, I've developed a merchant center homepage to deliver platform benefits to users

1. User’s & outlet management system
2. Improve sales strategy using data
3. Transactions management
🙎🏻‍♂️ Our Users
Target group
Before we started designing, we deep dive into existing behavioral of our users to understand them better. We also conduct user interview to identify what user needs.

We defined 2 user archetypes, and mapped them to their respective segmentation.

User's Feedback

Onboarding

- SMS login is more preferable than password

Benefit: 

- Communication more about user’s benefits why they have to use

Service: 

- Only service type is not attract enough > Add other relevant features ex. instant notification of income, data filtering by DD/MM, Ability to manage different store easily at once
- Focus more about what they can get from Lazada Pay service, rather than explaining the difference between two different terms

- Conduct A/B testing to validate between real image illustraion vs graphical

How to apply: 

- Allow unregistered users to login with their details
Merchant Center Dashboard
Sitemap
We create sitemap to listed down page and content that needs to cover all business requirement and user needs.
Dashboard Task flow
Inactivated user
We need user to activated service before using to get trust and higher security when users do any activities or transations
User’s Basic Information
This is one of example screen for user’s basic information that require to fill in before they can used platform
Activated Users
After user’s submit all required information we show status and how long it takes to review. Also user’s can now see data dashboard for their outlet transation, payment & deals near by transaction.
QR code generated system (POSM)
One of the main features of MC platform is POSM that’s allow user to generate QR code in different types and provide delivery service to install on their business branch.
Final Design
Lazada merchant center dashboard
1. Onboarding
- Allow unregistered users to login with their details

- User need to know what’s different between individual & business account before registration

- Use less registered document for individual account type

- Collect only unnecessary information for legal purposes only to avoid drop off rate

2. Option for users to skip fill form to used platform then complete later
- Option to skip the fill form information

- Option for users who wrongly fill business registeration to go to personal registration

3. Emphasize more about QR code generation

- Connect between confirmation page to generate QR code flow

4. POSM
- Add more infomation ex. order tracking,  summary of QR code status,  purchase history

📌 What I Learn
Lack of communication cause problem
During this project as I recently join for 1 month and still onboarding to Lazada culture we still don’t communicate well with business team but after we get onboarded I collaborate more with business team by suggesting more customer insight ex what’s user’s feedback from research team , listed down piorities to optimize flows.
No “We assume that ...”
One of the key takeaway from this project, if we do more research to know about customer behavior and needs first we won’t end up get feedback such as “user’s need option to skip fill form”, user prefer real image rather than unlively graphic”, option for user to used or preview platform before registered.
One slip-up is enough to learn and never repeat again.
After I realized that I can deliver higher quality works by doing 1,2,3 so I decide to take action on the next project which is LazadaPay Wallet Homepage and so on.
