Principles in action


Offer multiple modes of interactions for searching and browsing

Principle 01

Customers often compare the digital experience with their neighborhood store to what they experience with global e-commerce. Build moments of delight with interactions that large companies could never provide at scale—such as the option to place an order with a shopping list or through a voice note.

Principle 02

Celebrate discounts and infuse delight

Discounts from a neighborhood store may not be as significant as those from a big box or an e-commerce giant, but they can certainly feel that way. Punch up small wins for shoppers, and celebrate moments of saving money.

Principle 03

Spotlight personalization and convenience in the ordering experience

Neighborhood merchants continue to hold wallet share despite the rise of big box retail and e-commerce because micromerchants deliver unmatched personalization and convenience. Digitize these superpowers through features that make shoppers feel remembered and valued—like the ability to order unlisted items, and requests to purchase on informal credit.
