Sweet Spot

Redesigned a post-purchase upsell app for Shopify: a setup guide, offers merchants can scan at a glance, and an offer builder that reads in the order merchants think: what, where, when and how much.

The redesigned Sweet Spot Offers page: the total active and draft offers above a table of offers, with a Create Offer button

Challenge

Sweet Spot shows shoppers an extra offer right after they buy, on the post-purchase page or on the thank-you page, with a discount on the products the merchant picks. The offers worked, but the app made merchants find their own way to the first one:

  • Installing it opened a welcome page with a help box and nothing else to do
  • The Offers page led with a yellow "App is currently disabled" warning above an empty list
  • A new offer was one long form, with the offer text written in an HTML editor
  • Settings was a single column of checkboxes, most of them marked "available only on thank you page offers"

The team needed a redesign that takes a merchant from install to a live offer in a few steps and makes every offer easy to read and change.

Phase 1: Audit

Audit: Documented every screen of the existing app: welcome, dashboard, offers, the new-offer form and settings

User flows: Mapped how merchants enable the app embed, create an offer and choose where it shows

Phase 2: Structure

Setup in 1-2-3: Reduced the offer to three decisions, choose products, set up triggers and create discounts, and built the setup guide and the offer form around them

Phase 3: Design

Design: Designed a two-step setup guide, a dashboard with the revenue and clicks the app generates, an Offers table with active and draft counts, and an offer builder in Polaris sections: title, where to display it, products, eligibility triggers and the discount.

States: Designed every empty, disabled and draft state, so a new store always sees its next step.

The shopper's side

The thank-you moment
