When mobile users apply filters on the PLP it is not clear what filters have been applied. This is causing them to switch back and forth between the filter modal experience and PLP to review and edit which filters they applied to the grid.

APPLIED FILTERS

THE PROBLEM

If we provide an applied filter summary above the PLP grid, users can easily see what filters have been selected without having to take the additional step of moving through the filter modal.

Additionally Baymard suggests:�

UX SOLUTION

  1. Applied Filter overview above product grid
  2. Ability to quickly remove filters
  3. Immediate confirmation filter has been applied

Filter/Sort paired with Icon

  1. Addition of Icon helped users locate the filter/sort with ease

UXR GOAL

  1. If we remove the Nav dropdown, how will that affect user’s ability to drill down their search, are there any implications to this removal?
  2. Is it easy for users to apply, edit and remove filters?
  3. How do users feel about the new information presented to them as they shop against our current state?

WHAT WAS TESTED

  • Mobile only
  • Current state vs 2 proposed prototypes Filter selection

  • Understand the implications of removing the nav dropdown and collapsing the PLP header

    • How do they feel about the information presented to them/ do they notice any changes?
  • Observe users navigate to different categories from the PLP to understand the value of the nav dropdown

  • How clear was it that the filters were applied and how clear was it to edit?

PROPOSED EXPERIENCE

We tested 2 prototypes that showcased two different variations of the collapsed information.

V1 that displayed applied filters on scroll while V2 had a more minimal approach.

Spoiler Alert! The user did not notice the difference between the two. And when the user wanted to filter, their behavior showed that they immediately scrolled up to the top of the page.

CURRENT EXPERIENCE

“I can see that the color is [in the breadcrumbs] but it looks like I've navigated there instead of applied this filter so I would say 3 out of 5 not super clear.”

“a few more clicks than I wanted [ to edit the filter] but once I learned the pattern I got it. it's a little strange that the filters are in the breadcrumbs though.”

“it’s clear filters are applied bc I see the color I selected is in the images, I selected orange and I see the images are orange.”

Applied and Edit Filters:

Nav Dropdown:

Overall users rated 4/5 on clarity and ease of applying and editing filters. (Whereas users rated both proposed experiences a 5/5)

Overall users did not notice the nav dropdown. Only 1/5 users interacted with it and when presented with it removed found it equally as easy to navigate to other products and did not notice a change. It was 50/50 for users to narrow their scope by utilizing the filter tool or to go directly to the hamburger menu and start over.

CURRENT EXPERIENCE

  1. 1 User mentioned wanting to filter by reviews (not currently a filter option) a.) New Pi5 Discovery item!!
  2. 100% of users did not notice ‘Apply filter’ bc the cookie banner was hiding it

a.) Make sure Cookie banner does not cover sticky CTA in new design

  • 4/5 users did not immediately see the ‘Filter/Sort’ button and 2 users mentioned wanting a ‘Sort’ button completely missing it. However, when presented with the Filter + Icon there was no confusion.

PROPOSED EXPERIENCE

Testing results showed:

  1. That the applied filters above the product grid provided more clarity than the current experience and were easy to remove for all users

  • The addition of the icon helped the users identify the filter button quicker

  • Observing the users scroll behavior the users typically scroll up when they want to take action such as filtering. Suggest to keep the header more minimal while the user is scrolling downwards and option to have the header expand on scroll up to display the applied filters.

  • Consider adding a filter for reviews

  • All users displayed an affinity for the hamburger menu for navigating from the PLP opposed to the nav dropdown. But, consider Baymard’s Nav Northstar callout to help the user identify where they are in the navigation so it doesn’t “take so many steps to do what I want to do”
