Defining requirements

How it started

It was an urgent and important requirement from upper management to launch TikTok Shop in Brazil and Mexico. However, we only had one week for each country to complete the entire shopping flow.

highlight

Initial Requirement

Brazil and Mexico had their own specific requirements for TikTok Shop to launch in those countries, so I had to incorporate these needs into the existing SEA design.

For Brazil specifically, it was a requirement to add tax information across the journey.

req1

And for Mexico, we need to enabled global shipping flow to our journey. Global shipping is a shipping feature that allowed buying products overseas.

Global shipping journey map

I initiated and mapped out our global shipping journey design proposal, so we can overview and maintain all details accurately and consistently.

MINI CART incosistency

While preparing the design demo, I noticed inconsistencies in the mini cart across pages that could could potentially create a poor experience for our new country launch. So I proactively raised the issue with a larger audience for discussion. Then we decided to unified our mini cart.
