These pages are important for your customers. So provide links to them at the footer with a title,
something like Customer care can be appropriate.

It’s good to provide several ways to contact your business. Phone, email and
inquiry form submission are three common ones.

lets your customers quickly know which payment systems you accept.

categories. You can include it right below the main navigation bar.

Generally, a page can’t show all the products that there are under a certain category. But every page
should show the customers the total number of products and the range that they are viewing.
29. Product filtering and sorting
Product filtering allows customers to filter products based on different attributes.
For example, a clothing store may use gender, size, colour etc. as its filtering
options. The sorting allows viewing products on ascending or descending order of
price and arrival.
30.Page description field
At this part, include a short general description of the category. This is mostly for the search engines.

parts of the product.

any discount or promotional offers. The common practice is to strike through the
previous price and write the new price with the discount percentage in brackets.

the customers can easily select the number of items they want to buy.

It’s a very good idea to mention a few trust signals near the add to cart button.
This influences the subconscious of the customers on making the purchasing
decision.

can also be very useful for them.

link via email) buttons is a really great way to reach more people.

the essential information a customer may look for

It’s important to have the multiple product views. the customer can survey the

This part will let the customers read, rate and give reviews to products. As we have shown, the
average rating and number of reviews should also be shown right below the product name above.

customer to find the product that he/she wants.

Obviously, after mentioning the price of each individual products your checkout page should also
mention the total price. Don’t forget to mention the individual amounts of discount, shipping cost
and tax.

Your customers will find multiple shipping options very convenient. There should
be at least one low-cost shipping option.
48. Billing address and shipping address
It’s common to have two address fields. One for billing address and another for shipping address. For
many customers these two are different.
49. Security seals
Show security seals near the field where the customers enter their
credit card information. These security seals or trust badges help to
convince your customers about the security of your site and the
payment process.
50. Include an area to punch in promo codes
Your business may occasionally provide promo codes to customers. This field is where customers
may apply the promo codes to get discounts or other privileges.
51. Have an option to change the quantity or remove items
Also, provide option to edit and remove items from the checkout page. Note that
there should be an option to save the cart for placing the final order later.

them with a way to store their cart in case they want to come back later.

and a list of most popular posts.

should be manageable from the backend without any manual change in the code

stages. It also needs to handle different shipment processes. All of these should be easily
manageable from backend.

processes, calculate and apply taxes, and determine the price structure based on
locations.

ecommerce backend platform.

free if your backend provides these facilities.

going to receive the product (i.e. direct download, email etc).

Apart from SSL certificates and PCI compliance, your site should have a strong
