Kcell - App Marketplace

2023-2024, Product Design

As part of the SuperApp development, I redesigned the app marketplace section to simplify user interaction with subscriptions. The update made subscription costs more transparent, reduced the steps required to activate services, and streamlined the flow for connecting Yandex subscription for Kcell users.

Case 1

Redesign of Services and Applications

Redesign of Services and Applications

Problem

The layout of services was unclear and unpredictable, making it difficult for users to understand the purpose and placement of different offerings.

Solution

Redesigned the services layout into a list format with clear titles and descriptions, and added category-based filtering for easier navigation.

Case 2

App Showcase and Mini-App Cards

App Showcase and Mini-App Cards

Problem

Service cards with subscriptions lacked transparency: to see how many subscriptions were available inside a mini-app, users had to open the card.

Solution

Reworked mini-app cards by surfacing the list of available services and enabling one-click subscription directly from the card.

Result

Users gained a clear overview of available subscriptions and could activate them faster without unnecessary steps.

Offers card

Each card displays different pricing models highlights special deals, and provides clear entry points to connect or learn more. This approach simplifies decision-making, increases transparency, and helps drive conversions by reducing friction in choosing the right plan.

Subscription Flow

Users can quickly compare subscription options, view key service details, and connect with a single tap, making plan selection simple and transparent.

Case 3

Simplified Access to Transfers

Simplified Access to Transfers

Problem

Activation flows for third-party apps were cumbersome. For example, to activate a Yandex Plus subscription, users had to return to the main page widget and press the activation button, creating friction and lowering conversion.

Solution

Optimized the activation flow by moving the activation button directly to the success page, removing an extra step.

Result

Conversion of Yandex Plus activations increased significantly - by 80%.

Yandex subscription

One of the key challenges was the activation of semi-automatic services, which disrupted the user experience. In the case of Yandex subscription, users had to confirm activation on the Yandex side, but the old design did not provide a clear entry point. As a result, most users reported issues with “inactive subscriptions.” I proposed adding an explicit activation button at the final step of the flow, which increased successful activations by 80% and significantly reduced support requests.

End of cases

Yandex connections increased after the activation flow was redesigned. Previously, the flow was placed as a separate widget on the homepage. Since the homepage was overloaded with content, the cognitive load was high, and users often overlooked the widget.
