Building a Seamless Online Shopping Experience for Aakaar Wellness

Introduction

The medical aesthetics and skincare industry is growing, and dermatologists, aesthetic physicians, cosmetologists and skincare professionals are turning to online platforms to discover and purchase specialist products. It is crucial to have an effective online presence to showcase your products, provide information and make it easy for customers to purchase.

Aakaar Medical Technologies Ltd is an Indian aesthetic services and product company that has been in the industry for over 12 years. Their range of products includes professional skincare, at-home skincare, haircare, aesthetics, injectables and contouring.

As they have such a wide range of products, it is important to have an easy-to-use online shopping platform. This includes having an organised cataloguing system, detailed product descriptions, easy navigation and secure purchasing options.

This case study looks at how using a Shopify-based development solution can help Aakaar Medical create an easy shopping experience, improve product findability and meet their growing e-commerce needs.

Aakaar Medical provides products and devices for the professional aesthetics and skincare market.

On its site it has the following categories:

• Home Care
• Skin care products
• Professional
• Peel, Masks, Skin care products
• Hair Care
• Hair care products
• Aesthetic Devices
• Lasers, Dermatoscopes and Other Aesthetic Devices

The main requirements of the site would be:

• Easy access to product details and specifications
• Professionals can ask questions and purchase products
• Easy search and filtering of products
• Responsive design

Easy order management and communication with customers Using Shopify we can build a bespoke online store with the right integrations to meet the requirements.

2. Challenge: Managing a diverse range of products.

One of the biggest challenges for a specialist medical aesthetics company is to present a wide range of products without making the site confusing.

For example, if a dermatologist wants to purchase a professional peel they will have very different requirements compared to someone wanting to purchase a home use moisturiser or sun cream.

If a clinic wants to purchase aesthetic devices they will need technical specifications, product demos, consultation and more information on purchasing. If not well-categorised, these products can be confusing for visitors to find the right products.

For Aakaar Medical, the proposed website strategy would focus on creating separate shopping journeys for different customer requirements.

Customer Type	Primary Requirement	Suggested Website Feature
Dermatologists	Professional skincare and treatment products	Professional product categories
Aesthetic Clinics	Equipment and specialised solutions	Detailed specifications and enquiry options
Cosmetologists	Professional skincare products	Organised product catalogue
Individual Customers	Home-care skincare and haircare	Easy product discovery and shopping
Business Buyers	Product information and bulk requirements	Business enquiry and account features

This approach would make the website more relevant to different audiences while improving product accessibility.

Using Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console will help to track your organic traffic, product page engagement, search visibility and customer behaviour.

8. Measuring the Success of the Proposed Shopify Strategy

The effectiveness of the development strategy should be evaluated through measurable performance indicators rather than website appearance alone.

KPI	Purpose
Website Traffic	Measures the number of visitors
Product Page Views	Identifies popular products
Conversion Rate	Measures completed purchases
Cart Abandonment Rate	Identifies checkout-related difficulties
Average Order Value	Tracks average revenue per order
Enquiry Submissions	Measures professional buyer interest
Mobile Conversion Rate	Evaluates mobile shopping performance
Organic Search Traffic	Measures SEO performance

These will allow Aakaar Medical to gain insight into what their customers like and where they can improve.

For example, if there is high traffic on product pages but not many conversions, this may be due to a lack of clear product information, pricing and easy checkout.
