Research streams behind the scope: funnel analysis, support & feedback, and competitor research

1

New customization feature set that unblocked international users

Customization settings

Added a settings set so users can tailor invoices to their country’s regulations and business needs.

Unblocked international users

Removed a compliance blocker that had kept many international users from adopting invoices.

Data-driven scope

Funnel drop-off, support tickets, and competitor gaps all pointed to the same missing capability.

Built within the system

Delivered the most efficient solution within the constraints of Wix’s design system (WSR).

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

What Wix Invoices is

Wix Invoices is a crucial financial tool at Wix that helps businesses grow. It lets users request and manage payments. To do that well, it has to fit each user’s needs, meet local legal requirements, and stay flexible.

ROLE

My role

As a UX senior designer, I participated in and contributed to every step of this project: user-voice analysis, competitor research, brainstorming, design delivery, and QA.

THE GOAL

What I set out to change

Give users a customization feature set so they can tailor invoices to their country’s regulations and business needs. This also removes a blocker for international users and grows the user base.

BACKGROUND RESEARCH

Understanding the problem

I looked at the problem from several angles, each one cross-checking the others.

Exploring the funnel

The invoice-creation funnel showed a big drop at the very first step: a serious decline between starting to create an invoice and saving it. Closing that biggest gap was the clearest way to increase invoice usage.

Customer support & user-feedback blitz

After analysing customer-support tickets and collecting feedback from users, it became clear that invoices were missing key customization capabilities.

Main competitors analysis

Competitor research of the main players on the market showed that customization was a very important part of invoices, and something Wix was missing.

WIREFRAMES

Testing the structure

After defining which new capabilities should be added to Settings, and where they belonged, I created wireframes to test the assumptions.

RESULTS

The impact

As a result of this feature, and the other invoice projects I worked on (integration with Stores, invoice-widget exposure, and other smaller features), the number of invoices sent and GMV nearly doubled within a year.
