The Box Hut
The Box Hut is a B2C subscription box marketplace for unique & interesting goods. The founder chose CobbleWeb for 3 reasons: our ability to translate his concept into an MVP, the proven expertise shown by our portfolio, and an affordable price point.
Challenges
Subscription model for products
Subscription is mostly used in service marketplaces. We had to reimagine its effect on product-related aspects like refunds, shipping and returns.
Promoted listings
We had to figure out when promoted products were to be displayed, how to rank them and how this would impact search results and the buyer journey.
Collecting reviews
Reviews build trust and boost conversions, but new marketplaces struggle to collect them. Thus, sellers had to be able to share existing reputations.
Recurring shipments
Monthly subscriptions have many impacts on shipping. Use cases like pausing subs or address changes had to be handled to ensure good user experiences.
Our Approach to Tackle the Challenge
Feature-rich product listings
Product listings contain several features to make them more enticing. Except for a product description and image gallery, merchants can highlight up to five standout features, showcase unlimited reviews, and indicate monthly shipping dates.
Subscription options are flexible; in addition to monthly payments, merchants can set discounted pricing for quarterly, half-yearly and yearly payments.
