<\/strong>With the cost of online advertising going up, it pays to keep your customers loyal. Indeed, it\u2019s estimated that returning customers can generate up to 80% of an online store\u2019s revenue. This is because conversion rates for existing customers are significantly higher than for new ones. One way to encourage customers to keep coming back is to reward them for shopping with you and the Loyalty Program<\/a> extension is the way to do this.
The main benefit of this extension is its flexibility. It enables you to create loyalty programs that offer the rewards you want and which are tailored to your customers. You can even set up multiple programs and reward structures and set your own rules.<\/li>\r\n

Bingo Elastic Search<\/a> provides this functionality with gusto. <\/span>As soon as you install it, it indexes your entire site, enabling customers to search not only with keywords and phrases, but also with serial numbers, SKUs and other product identifiers that searchers may be using.\u00a0 \u00a0

<\/strong>It has long been known that the more onerous and complicated you make it to buy products on your website, the more sales you lose. According to a survey by baymard.com, 34% of people have abandoned a cart because they were required to create an account and 26% have abandoned because it took too long.
One solution to help streamline and speed up the checkout process is to install the One Step Checkout extension. This was designed to solve issues with the Magento 2 default checkout process where customers have to reload the page if they want to skip to the next step or go back. It also enables customers to add additional information, such as specifying delivery times, asking for gift wrap or leaving order messages.
Fully responsive, the extension features an optimised checkout page and Google address suggestions as well as auto-updating order information and supporting a wide range of payment options.<\/li>\r\n
![\"Layered](\"https:\/\/www.webhosting.uk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mag5.png\")
<\/strong>If you have lots of categories and products on your store it can be difficult for customers to navigate to them, potentially leading people to abandon the site. The Layered Navigation extension is designed to make finding things much easier. It does this by extending the default navigation features of Magento 2 so that a customer can apply multiple filters (size, cost, colour, brand, etc. ) to the products in a category so that only the items they are looking for are displayed.
This kind of navigation, with the filters displayed for checking in the sidebar, is common on most leading eCommerce sites and has become something that many customers come to accept as standard, simply because it makes browsing items so much easier. With this extension, you can now bring this functionality to your site, improving the user experience as you do.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
