iOS Electronic client cross-evaluation experience unusual online shopping

Online shopping has become a part of ordinary people's daily life, whether young people middle-aged or even some old people will be through the network to buy those supplies. As inflation deepens in China, as well as the Chinese people are naturally sensitive to price, the low price of online shopping as the core competitiveness has become an important reason for the rapid development of the Internet, the net purchase to provide users with convenient way to buy, as long as a simple network operation, home, can be door-to-door, and has perfect after-sales service. At the same time, in such a website such as Dangdang buy goods, can achieve door-to-door, cod, so that online shopping security has been guaranteed. These are the reasons why customers are keen on online shopping and the rapid growth of online sales.

The history of Chinese online shopping

8848 is the originator of China's online shopping. 8848 is in overcoming the difficulties in the early development of China's online shopping development, the first China to fully adapt to China's dozens of kinds of on-line settlement network shopping platform; the first in more than 50 cities in China to implement the purchase of goods to pay the site. But 8848 also became the Chinese online shopping martyrs, as the saying goes: One step ahead is a pioneer, leading three steps to become martyrs. The 8848 failure is partly due to the fact that three steps lead to the martyrs. But the main thing is to take the end, give up the core. Investors believe that the business model is abandoned by most investors, the 8848 packaging into a business-to-business model, but the business is 8848 of the core competitiveness, only because of adherence to the end, investors to 8848 of the core businesses did not adhere to, they do business-to-business, lack of normal business strategy and means, 8848 once brilliant to later become a nearly dilapidated fate.

The fall of a giant has also given many lessons to the late-rising companies. The early pioneers of China's business as a representative of the Chinese, from the book this low-cost, standardized merchandise as a starting point for online shopping, with the help of express delivery and delivery of goods to pay the transaction process, began to gradually establish their own market base. Dcci Internet Data Center predicts that next year will become the critical point of China's e-commerce development, the net purchase amount will exceed 1.4 trillion yuan, this year net purchase amount already exceeded 1 trillion yuan.

Four stages of online shopping development:

The first stage: The internet appeared at the beginning, the number of netizens, little sales, most people do not have a sense of online shopping, this time appeared Consumer-to-consumer platform. For the operators of this platform do not need to manage their own goods, the management of this platform is relatively simple.

The second stage: online shopping in the business encountered some problems can not be solved, such as fakes, transaction integrity issues, transaction convenience, after-sale problems. At this time Consumer-to-consumer platform has cultivated a large number of online shopping habits of customers, the client platform to solve the fake, transaction convenience, integrity and so on.

The third stage: the exploration stage of the online supermarket operation mode: Consumer-to-consumer and the consumer platform cultivate a large number of net shoppers. Internet buyers put forward a higher demand for online shopping, and the national large-scale consumer and consumer-to-consumer platform can not solve some requirements, such as the need for online shopping, cost, costs. Online shopping delivery time is long, timely requirements. Online shopping is inconvenient to sell supermarket goods. Online shopping After the problem is difficult to solve. Entrepreneurs will try a variety of online shopping operation mode, some of which have Internet supermarket features.

Phase IV: Entrepreneurs practice a large number of online shopping model, there will always be some profitable development. They are like regional grocery stores, they are not famous, but they can grow in their own fields. They are targeted at a small group of specific aspects of the focus on the demand, these sites are selling part of the supermarket merchandise, the distribution of the whole line of management. They have the basic characteristics of online supermarkets, they continue to innovate, accumulated team, management capabilities, market insights and capital. When the time comes, they are the backbone to promote the development of online supermarkets.

Amazon: Registration needs to enter an email address, the password can be used 6-digit pure digits. To protect the privacy of customers, Amazon clients do not support Third-party client login, so that the disclosure of privacy may be reduced to the lowest.

The search matches are put together in this test project to test in the pre filter. Don't pull out alone to do the test.

Jingdong Mall: The client only supports the selection of items category, in the search matching list can be identified in pinyin first letter spelling/spelling search.

Jing Dong Search Matching

Jing Dong Screening

Suning easy to purchase: screening compared to the Jing dong more than a geographical selection, although much better than Jingdong, but still do not enough. In search of matching, Tesco can also support Pinyin first letter spelling/full spell search. Unfortunately, search matching does not show the specific number of items. Not to let people think of Suning easy to buy in the number of products is not inferior to other online shopping platform to diversity.

Tesco Search Matching

Easy to buy screening

Dangdang: Search matching has done a little bit, can support pinyin full name search but can not support phonetic spelling search.

7th Page Product Search Performance test Reviews

Amazon: Worthy of the world's largest online shopping site 7 of screening items can meet the needs of the vast number of network shopping, diversity of the range of screening allows you to narrow the scope of the purchase. Compared to the above major clients can see the advantages of Amazon is too obvious, since there are so obvious advantages, that in the search for a matching list is not a good thing to worry about. Pinyin Full screen/simple spell can support, and can also be for the plate to find, the foreign brand is really thoughtful.

Amazon Search compatibility

Amazon screening

Xun Net: Bright spot always at the end, the Xun filter function is too strong, for different products will appear different filtering options. From the 4 items of small commodity screening items to large items of 10 kinds of screening items can be selected. Light from this point of view, who said that foreign capital must do better than the local brand. But the drawback is that the search matching Xun network does not support pinyin spelling, very regrettable.

Comment: Amazon has once again been the first to lead other competitors. Shop No. 1th, Suning easy to buy, Jingdong Mall after the chase, in this evaluation options small series for Xun Nets cry, because only to support the full search matching, the total score to pull down.

Online shopping Process Statistics

Score Note: The bottom points 10 points, each switch a page buckle one point.

Comment: Shop 1th Creative Shopping cart features bring a lot of highlights, but 4 pages of the switch seriously affect the shopping experience. And Amazon just two pages to complete the whole shopping process, small weave in no experience before, has been fantasizing about whether Amazon has the same as the PC "one-click" function one key to complete the shopping, but unfortunately this feature did not transplant, but 2 pages enough to beat all competitors "three steps."

How much does the 9th page payment method know? Who makes you the easiest to pay

Payment method: In the entire operation process, there is no step than the payment method to come more important, the current net purchase in addition to the payment, online payment is also an important means of payment. It is through the third-party provided by the payment interface with the bank of the instant payment method, this way the advantage is that the money can be directly transferred from the user's bank card to the website account, remittance immediately to the account, do not need manual confirmation. Customers and businesses can use a variety of electronic payments such as credit cards, electronic wallets, electronic cheques and electronic cash to pay online, using electronic payment on the Internet to save the transaction costs.

Jingdong Mall: There are four ways to pay, with online payments supporting both bank cards and UnionPay online payments. A bank card can be a credit card or debit card.

BEIJING-East Payment

Suning easy to buy: Have 4 payment method, but Yi Bao need to login Suning website activation can start to use, for the middle-aged and old to have a lot of trouble. UnionPay payment is the most convenient payment method after the payment of goods to the Su ning.

Suning Easy to purchase payment

Dangdang: Only a payment model for online payments, and a few other comparisons are too bad.

Dangdang Payment Method

Store No. 1th: Up to now, a total of 6 payment methods, of which 4 online payment, plus 2 cash to pay.

No. 1th Store Payment method

Amazon: Support 4 kinds of payment methods, Amazon's third party to pay the use of Alipay as its way of collecting. The reason also does not need to explain, Alipay has the domestic biggest customer base.

Amazon

Xun Net: The Xun NET uses 3 payment method, 2 is the third party on-line payment, one goods arrive payment, because the Xun net did not explain its goods to the payment to be able to support the credit card, small make up calculates he is a payment method.

Xun Network

Comment: From the point of view of the number 1th store is the industry leader, if you have to say a few deficiencies, it is the hope that you can support the characteristics of such services. Amazon recently launched its own services in the family supermarket, but did not expect the service has not been included in the iOS client, unfortunately. Dangdang seems to do a bit worse, the bottom of this ranking. Payment is the majority of middle-aged and elderly people like the payment method, but Dangdang does not support, this will certainly give Dangdang loss of a large number of customer resources.

Pay score

Rating Note: 10 points per support plus 1 points.

10th page Free Shipping threshold and limited receipt evaluation

Free Shipping threshold: hope that the users of the net purchase price is very sensitive, if the price to calculate the freight over the price of the store, the network shopping will lose its original competitiveness. Free shipping threshold for each shop is different so in the online shopping time we still need more than three.

Free Shipping threshold

Score Note: The bottom is 10 points, the final score with the bottom score minus the ranking score.

Comments: This round of suning easy to purchase into the largest side of the store, free shipping, unlimited amount of money. It seems that Su Ning's behavior is snapping up market share. Use low prices to attract more buyers to patronize. Excluding Suning, Amazon's 29 yuan has been very attractive. In this item 1th shop and Xun net did a poor need to buy 100 or 99 yuan can be free shipping, 1th stores less than 100 yuan and additional 10 yuan in freight costs of other competitors of 5 Yuan pit dad a lot.

Limited delivery: For the vast number of office workers to express is a problem, you may have doubts, in the company is not the same can receive goods? What do you mean, trouble? If you are buying big-ticket items, you must make an appointment to do the online shopping. Without affecting the normal commute, reasonable arrangements for the receipt of goods time. This time we test whether the six iOS clients support booking time and whether to arrange night delivery.

Jingdong Mall: The client completely copy the Web model, weekday weekends can be selected, but small series did not find that can be delivered at night.

Jing Dong receiving time

Dangdang: Receiving time not only can choose on weekdays or weekend delivery, you can also choose whether delivery service at night. Small knitting think this move is still very humane. Fully applicable to the vast number of consumers.

Dangdang Receipt Time

Amazon: Let small weave a bit disappointed, the website supports the nightly delivery. However, this method is not supported on the client, and it is not known whether future versions will follow up.

Amazon Collection Time Selection

Xun Network: Booking receipt is the most perfect one of the test, you can make an appointment to the next 7 days of any day in the morning of three hours to arrange delivery.

Xun's Appointment receipt option

Comments: Amazon Although the iOS client does not support nightly deliveries, the total score is a big lead for other competitors. Jing-dong and Dangdang ranked second in the top and bottom, suning network in this test showed a clear gap. In addition to the packaging small series had to Xun Suning and Jingdong criticism, a simple plastic bag packaging, looks too shabby. It's a lot more atmospheric than the other three paper boxes. When and Amazon add a shockproof bag inside the package can be seen a lot of tunnels.

Timed Delivery Score

Rating Note: 10 points at the end. Support the advance receipt plus 1 points, support evening delivery plus 1 points, do not support scoring. In the time limit this hrs is "the Hour" the English abbreviation, we from 20 hours to 25 hours for the statistics, the shortest time gives 5 points, takes the longest to give 1 points.

The 11th page than a after-sales service who is the most intimate

After-sales service: The net buys the product to appear the problem unavoidably, after all who also has no way to guarantee product 100% not to have problems. At this time after-sales service for users is very important. This time we have a simple test of the iOS client on the after-sales service function, mainly the "return" function (the client does not support the return function is directly through these electronic business site for return), including whether to support the mobile client returns, whether the refund is convenient.

Specific test methods: from six electric dealers here separately purchased rechargeable batteries, receiving confirmation, and then apply for return (the return application is on the third day after receipt).

Jingdong Mall: Jingdong The entire return process needs to go through 5 page switch to complete, but the whole return process is very clear, from the way of refund to the return of goods. Consumers can still easily complete a series of return process. Of course, Jingdong Mall pick-up is also quick. 13 o'clock in the afternoon under the return order, the next day 13 o'clock send someone to pick up the pieces. The most worth mentioning is the whole process has been to pick up time for the text to adjust, so that customers make the previous preparation.

After the sale of Jing Dong

Suning easy to buy: Although Suning easy to buy ipad version can support the return, but small series tried 2 days or failed to return through the ipad success, always prompted the "server call exception."

Suning easy to buy and sell

Store 1th: The ipad client does not support the return function, and to go to the official website returned to eat the cold shoulder, was 1th stores to live electrical goods, refused the return.

After the sale of Shop No. 1th

Xun Network: The problem of easy to hear and store 1th like the iOS client does not support returns, the web version of the return is not positive and friendly. The message is based on the use of supplies products as a reason to reject the request for return.

Xun net after sale

Dangdang: ipad clients also don't support returns, but refunds on PCs are easy. At noon 13 points issued a return order, the next day 11 o'clock noon sent a person to take a piece, it is worth mentioning is: If you are paid in cash, Dangdang will cash on the spot back to your hands, do not have to wait a few working days to return to your account.

Amazon: Amazon's clients do not have a direct return function, but in the official online return is very intimate, small edit 1 o'clock in the afternoon under the return instructions, the next day 10 o'clock on the door to pick up the pieces.

Comments: Test down only Jing-dong and Su Ning directly in the client built-in return function, but the function of Suning after many tests are unable to complete the normal, so the actual only jingdong in this test is relatively perfect. Hope that the remaining several electrical companies in the future in the client to improve the return function, since can do a good job online shopping and payment of this complex project, that in the client to increase the function of returns should not be difficult, it is worth the buyers and shopkeepers to think for themselves. In addition, through the actual return test, Yi and a store does not support the return of no reason, I hope that they will be in the future from the product is unpacked and so on to reassess the return matter, in order to achieve business and consumer-win.

Rating Note: HRS is an abbreviation for "hour". The test, the end of 10 points, each support a test project plus 1 points, if the final score of the two, the weak side minus 0.5 points.

The 12th page originally still can play like this! Unique features recommended
