Why WooCommerce App UX Optimization is Important Now More Than Ever

Customers that use your app expect smooth and seamless experiences; otherwise, they will walk out the door and may never come back. The consequence of such behaviors is lost revenue, bad app store ratings, and relative underperformance among competitors that have more advanced functionality than your app.

The biggest UX mistake that can be committed is having no navigation or having such overcomplicated, complex, or hidden navigation that leaves users feeling lost.

The fix: Simply allow your site to have quick autofill, guest checkout on forms, and having less fields on checkout forms in order to avoid hurdles that slow down the purchasing process for users.
