Nutribullet<\/a> is a globally-known brand focused on small kitchen appliances. After streamlining their online presence, Nutribullet needed a better checkout experience for their customers. With WooPayments integrated into their highly customized website, Nutribullet was able to improve their ecommerce conversion rate by 35%. They also increased their average order value and brought WooPayments to events as a way to accept in-person orders. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Woo team met with Peter Huh, CIO and CTO, and Sterling Tang, Director, Business Technology, to learn more about the Nutribullet story.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Nutribullet: A strong brand optimizing its online presence<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Nutribullet is a predominantly retail business, distributing their popular appliances through large-scale companies like Target and Amazon. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When Nutribullet was a newer business, they supported their retail strategy with microsites that would launch with each new product campaign. Eventually they oversaw 27 different microsites, and knew that it was time for change.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2019, the team began an overhaul of their online presence to better support their direct-to-consumer (DTC) efforts and provide a long term solution that would grow their ecommerce business. After considering a number of platforms, Nutribullet chose WooCommerce and WordPress for its payment options, features, and capabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the pandemic, Nutribullet saw the consumer shift to ecommerce and wanted to ensure their website was providing the best possible customer experience. After conducting a full site audit, the Nutribullet team found that checkout inefficiencies offered significant room for growth \u2014 both in customer retention and revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The team also wanted a payment platform that would support advanced functionality like gift cards, payment plans, and continuity billing for subscriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They eventually reached a point of stability and strong functionality with their new website, but they were facing challenges with their checkout process, Peter noted, and were ready to pursue further efficiency. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cWe were at a point where we had to look for other efficiencies, one of which was our payment gateway. And that\u2019s where WooPayments came in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nPeter Huh, CIO and CTO, Nutribullet<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Legacy payment process causing friction at checkout<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Nutribullet\u2019s site audit found that customers were abandoning the checkout process due to friction in the payment experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instead of staying on the Nutribullet website to enter payment information and complete their purchases, customers were brought to a separate page to enter their credit card information. While it was a necessary checkout step, Nutribullet worried that this experience eroded customer trust and lowered their conversion rates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Peter explained that the negative customer experience was visible: \u201cWith the way we monitored our website, we were able to see people getting very frustrated. That\u2019s when I learned the term \u2018rage clicking\u2019 \u2014 people were clicking and trying to pay, but it wouldn\u2019t let you do that unless you went into a new [pop-up] window. It wasn\u2019t inherently obvious that that was what you needed to do in order to put in your credit card information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adopting WooPayments for a streamlined checkout experience<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    At the end of 2021, Nutribullet set out to find a modernized payment option that provided a better purchase experience for their customers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When evaluating options, the Nutribullet team considered integrations, customer experience, security, and ROI as key determiners. WooPayments proved to be the best solution for its direct integration, modern payment capabilities, and advantageous ROI. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, with their highly customized environment, the Nutribullet team needed some assistance integrating WooPayments. When they reached out to the Woo Customer Success team, their partnership made all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cSterling [Tang, Director, Business Technology at Nutribullet] had been trying to get this installed for the better part of a year and a half at this point. The Woo Customer Success team has been a tremendous partner of ours, doing all sorts of customization to integrate WooPayments with our environment,\u201d said Pete. \u201cBut after all that work, it\u2019s been fantastic. Our numbers and conversion rates are skyrocketing right now as a result. It\u2019s been a fantastic way to cross the finish line [on our website] with WooCommerce.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As part of this partnership, Woo Customer Success worked with Nutribullet to improve the checkout experience, maintain their Signifyd integration, develop custom APIs, and streamline the process between WooCommerce and Nutribullet\u2019s enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, Netsuite.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In March, Nutribullet\u2019s sales and marketing team were attending an event during which they wanted to collect in-person payments. Previously, the team didn\u2019t have an option for this, due to the fact that they didn\u2019t have their own physical stores or point-of-sale system. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After chatting about the problem with the Woo Customer Success team, Nutribullet were pleased to find out that WooPayments had integrated in-person payments via the WooCommerce card reader: \u201cWe were able to tell our sales team, \u2018yes we have a solution for you.\u2019 And we were able to get it done in time for the expo. That would have not been possible with our previous payment provider.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With WooPayments, Nutribullet was able to ensure that all inventory levels were synced, regardless of in-person or online purchases. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Improving conversion rate by 35% with WooPayments<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Nutribullet launched WooPayments on their website in November of 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cNow, everything is streamlined and still secure. We don\u2019t hold any credit card information and everything is working well. We\u2019re currently looking to replace our original payment platform in our legacy call centers and customer service with WooPayments this year.\u201d \u2014 Sterling Tang, Director, Business Technology<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Peter was clear about the impact of the change: \u201cIt\u2019s no surprise that our conversion rates skyrocketed. The biggest surprise was the size of the conversion rate increase.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sterling added further insight: \u201cFrom the November implementation to year-to-date, our conversion rate has increased 35%. That\u2019s significant, to get over a third of an increase just by removing friction. The average sale volume has also increased, marginally. But definitely, I think that the new checkout experience has really helped.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the time of interviewing, the 35% increase in conversion rate occurred within a six month window.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Looking ahead: Capitalizing on Woo\u2019s functionality and flexibility<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the near term, Peter, Sterling, and their team at Nutribullet are eager to continue their website work and see what more can be achieved for their ecommerce business now that they\u2019ve updated to a modern payment platform. As they consider their path forward, they\u2019re glad to have the Woo team in partnership with them at each turning point.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since our conversation with Peter and Sterling from Nutribullet, they have implemented additional payment methods and seen further success. After the WooPayments implementation, Nutribullet was able to add Apple Pay and Google Pay to better serve the mobile site visitors that make up the majority of their traffic. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since launching Apple Pay and Google Pay on May 1, 2023, Nutribullet has seen an additional 18% increase in conversion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s been really refreshing to have a company like Woo work with us, rather than just the typical vendor-client relationship \u2014 which I feel is quite rare in the tech space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
