What’s new in the fourth edition?

The fourth edition includes new and updated guidelines, including revisions and clarifications. For the fourth edition of this report series we conducted one large-scale lab-based usability study. In addition to this large study, researchers also conducted smaller, more targeted research studies to update and evolve each of the 11 topical ecommerce reports included in this report series. New findings and discussions include: mobile usability, live chat best practices, omnichannel strategies, streamlined shopping cart and checkout, expectations for product pages and product information, changes in customer behaviors and expectations, and much more.

Research Method

The information in these reports is based on three separate rounds of ecommerce studies, including:

• One-on-one usability testing
• Diary-based longitudinal study, for which people recorded their online experiences
• Eyetracking

Representative users tested 255 ecommerce websites. The studies took place in the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, and China (Hong Kong).

Three reports in this series are based on additional research studies (Wishlists, Gift Cards and Gift Giving, Store Finders and Locators, and Transactional Email and Confirmation Messages). Each of these three reports includes its own methodology section.
