Bitdefender CROCase Study
"The flexibility of the 2Checkout (formerly Avangate) platform and the constant feature enhancements such as improved API functionality are making our job easier. We constantly look to optimize the online buying process and improve our clients’ experience throughout the customer lifecycle, beyond just accepting payments online. The APIs are key to improving flows, speed, and processes throughout the trial, purchase and usage processes. Using the APIs boosts the customer experience as well, as shown by the increase in conversion rate and AOV," said Ioana Barbu, Conversion Optimization Manager at Bitdefender.
The Context
The end-point security market is highly competitive, leaving providers to constantly strive to bring better products – and, increasingly, services – to market as well as offer an outstanding customer experience before, during and after purchase.
The challenge is to look at the buyer’s experience holistically, taking into account usability, the relevance of the content shown to buyers, and "behind the scenes" flows and processes. Bitdefender also wants to minimize internal resources allocated to optimization projects where possible.
