Basic information like size, color and availability are necessary, but it helps the consumer to know things like how the product was made, how it will be shipped and what others are saying about it.
Good product information is the most critical part of the purchase decision-making process. Remember unlike a traditional off line shop, your customers can’t touch, play or feel your product.
5. Shipping
Make sure your shipping costs are apparent before the customer’s final checkout. The earlier they know about additional charges the less likely they are to abandon their cart.
After the purchase is made, some customers might want to check the status of their purchase. Order tracking and history will help automate a lot of customer service calls.
