This idea just struck me today evening. This is in close heels to the IoT usage with the gas cylinder post that I had done a few weeks ago.
Problem to be solved: Get an accurate state of groceries that is stocked in the kitchen and potentially order them (online?). This is a very common task that is done on a fairly regular basis in most households (typically on the day when ‘monthly shopping’ is done,
Initial setup/infrastructure:
UX:
Bigbasket? Zopnow? Anybody listening?
Creating a payment link (continued)
After you have dragged and dropped the digital goods, it would be nice if you could say that, upload would happen later. Since I did not see any upload status scroll, I assumed, but in perfect design, nothing should be left for assumption.
When uploading a preview image, can you probably preview the image immediately – like you did for the PAN card upload? That would be nicer. Else, the same ambiguity/assumption as previous point happens here also.
I tried making it pay what you want and wanted to put a base price of Rs.5. I got the below. Firstly, I do not understand why the Rs.9 restriction. Secondly base_price seems to be the variable name. You should make it Base price.
I wanted to do the âPay What you Wantâ model. And below is how it looks. It is not immediately apparent to my customer (who want to buy the book) as to what âminimum Rs.10 isâ. Is there any way you can indicate what the publisher means by âPay what you wantâ? Perhaps by putting a note below the âpay buttonâ saying – âThe seller has indicated this to be a âPay what you wantâ. The seller can pay how much ever he/she wishes to pay over the base price indicated aboveâ.
I tried finishing up my profile, and I added my photo to my profile. Again, I wish you could immediately preview the pic.
And oh, after a while, after I finished typing up my bio etc, I got the below. Looks like you were uploading the photo in the background – which is good – but it would be nice if I get some indication as a user.
Love love love the analytics page. Super awesome. One small pet peeve – please please give me a refresh button. I do not want to refresh my page each time I want to see. I usually have all my analytics page open. And want to be able to refresh on demand.
Hmm. Analytics and Advanced Analytics are the same?? They atleast seem to lead to the same page.
UX flow issue leading into the app store
Before I click on the app store
I now click on App store
Ideally by now, the Advanced Analytics should be âde-highlightedâ and App Store should be highlighted and some form of a landing page for app store should have come in the main body frame. However, you see above that two selections are highlighted and the previous (stale?) selection is still active on the right main body panel.
I went into the app store, and I see a bunch of apps there already. One big UI nitpick I have. The cards should all be same size and aligned.
And in general, I feel that the apps concept seems to be a little more of an advanced concept. And perhaps you should have a separate tutorial/documentation for this. Could not find it on the site.

I recently tried signing up with Instamojo and gave it a spin. Instamojo is a pretty cool payment related startup. Their moto is to democratize payments. It should be dead easy for anyone to be able to sell (start a business) and be able to set up a payment mechanism for customers. Instamojo would do the heavy lifting of the payment gateway etc.
Following are my thoughts on the UX/UI of the website.
Signup:
In the screen which asks for how I got to know about instamojo, why is social media conspicuously absent?
In the next screen, your KYC is collected (incidentally, there is no place which gives the full form of KYC – Know your customer – if someone from outside of India in the future tries signing on, they would be clueless). Also, what if I want to sell an ebook for Rs.49 (a fairly common denomination to sell an ebook in India), there is no option for this.
Then, in the next screen, I tried uploading a PDF (scanned pan card) and this is what I got. Also, there should be somewhere it says, only image files (GIF/JPG/TIFF etc).
The following also is confusing. Is the status bar saying .. half way through uploading my pan card picture or is it saying I am half way through uploading my documents? If it is the latter, should it not be 50% (1 out of 2 documents?)
While I understand that by the time he has finished uploading kyc, the user is expected to know about payment links etc, I would still recommend a (?) link here next to the payment link leading him to the support page.
When I click on share your referral link on twitter/facebook, the below appears when I click on twitter. I would prefer not just the link, but some template text such as : âI am using Instamojo. Are you? To sign up click here -> urlâ
Facebook is slightly better, but it could be better.
Create a Payment Link
I got to the file-picker page (which is awesome by the way! – the options are truly exhaustive).
I dragged and dropped by file. But after dropping the file, I realized that the file was named wrongly (similar scenario to I dropped the wrong file). Now how do I delete this file and put the correct file? No intuitive UX for the user for this action. I would have liked the file (Samkshepa Ramayana.pdf in the case below) to be in a table, with a trash can in a last column, giving me the option to delete the file.
The only way I could do it was to navigate away from this page (to Dashboard) and then click on Create Payment Link. I see two problems here.
Minor CSS nitpick – spacing between the i,? and the text
By this time, my account had already been verified – awesome speed. Love it. Is this manual ?
I got the following email:
While a lot of services do this, I have always liked to be addressed by name instead of my userid. And then I went to the Settings -> Accounts to see if you had been able to capture my name. And I saw that the names were blank.
I am wondering if you could have auto populated the name somehow – from my name on my PAN card that you collected during KYC.
Phone verification:
The below UI is very confusing. The 1234 is very confusing. That is not the norm. Either put * * * * or – – – – or just blank or put 4 squares.
Also, I was updating my settings (one by one), at the end of verification, why do I get the option to only go back to dashboard? I want to go back to the settings page.
Profile Settings:
Minor English suggestion. I would prefer Connect to your Social Networks and âConnect to Twitterâ.
Also, why not Facebook and g+. I saw those two in other places along with twitter.
Also, the âWe will not post âŚ..â should probably be darker. It is a very reassuring message and should be prominent.
Well, that’s about it. Hope the Instamojo teams gets to these minor nitpics from an amateur UX reviewer. In my opinion, getting these small things right is one of the key drivers to showing your classiness in an already crowded market place (in the case of instajojo – the payments marketplace).
