What's been done

Designed the UI using a design system for 3 platforms: iOS, Android and web. With the help of data analyst tested my solution on a small batch of users. Eventually, rolled out to everyone.

Context

OLX is a classifieds where historically one ad = one item. You've never been meant to sold more, so people reactived ads/created multiple ads.

Ad creation flow — The screen of creating a new ad. Only some ads could technically be sold 2+ times so I documented the logic

Ad screen — When opening an ad buyers could clearly see 'per 1 pc.', meaning this buyer has multiple items in stock

Buy flow screen variations — After clicking the buy button users gets to select the amount of items they'd like to buy. I documented logic & limitations for this as well.

Buy screen on desktop — Here's how this looks on desktop

We’ve decided to limit buying 5 items at a time even if the buyer has more so we don’t have unexpected weight problems at the post offices. Limiting to just 5 we were making sure the total parcel weight would not exceed limits. Also, the technical limit of the platform’s OLX Delivery feature was 29,000 Ukrainian Hryvna, so we couldn’t go over that.

Deal confirmation screen — When confirming the sale sellers sees how many items have been purchased
