Excellent article, this will definately help me with my shopping sites and usability. Checkout buttons are one of the biggest factor of online marketing and shopping. Amazon have obviously got things right in more than one way as they are one of the biggest online shops on the internet.

If they’re going to force you to add to cart before seeing the price, at least give me the option to IMMEDIATELY delete or undo the item. Instead you’re forced to jump through another hoop by clicking “Edit Shopping Cart”, deleting the item, and returning to shopping. What a complete waste of time when trying to compare prices.

Amazon has done a spectacular job of perfecting the online shopping cart, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise – they have been doing it longer than anyone else out there. I’ve made a number of purchases on Amazon simply because the checkout was so streamlined, I was halfway done buying before I knew it!

At the same time many people like ugg boots much more. So I want to write some shopping guides and info about all the footwear for everybody.

This was a really insightful article into the evolution of the Amazon add-to-cart ‘call to action’, and there are some useful lessons to be learned from it.

It was interesting to see the emphasis on security in the earliest versions, with the assurances that you could remove the products at a later stage, as we can imagine the mindset of weary shoppers and visitors who were new to shopping online, and would probably be concerned that adding an item to the cart would lock them into a purchase.

We have come a long way since then, but there probably does still exist a minority of people who have just recently gotten online and will have similar thoughts about how the online e-commerce world works.

Optimization testing is absolute key to ROI and even return customers. The easier you make it to for the customers to automatically “know” what to do and where to go, the more likely they are to complete the purchase and return again for the ease of use.

That is some great info. I had no idea that Amazon was using these tactics as a ploy to make people more comfortable with buying online. I guess I just really never thought about it much at all, so thanks for the inf!

I have always been fascinated with this “small” changes to increase conversion. And studying what the big boys are doing, definitely helps to see if we are on the right track. But as Bryan suggests, not always what the big boys are doing is suitable for ourselves.
