Amazon Warranties

Customers buying high-consideration products wanted peace of mind, but protection plans felt confusing, hard to find, and not worth the cost.

Research showed customers cared most about minimizing disruption, getting dependable support, and trusting that claims would be handled fairly. Skepticism peaked when warranty value or claims resolution felt unclear — leading to missed attachment, low trust, and more downstream support from customers who didn't understand what they'd bought.

What I delivered:

  1. $170M sales on detail pages, interstitials, cart/checkout

  2. 20% conversion rate on email marketing

  3. 25% reduction in customer service contacts

  4. EU-compliant interaction design

  5. Co-branded experiences with AppleCare+, Asurion, NordicTrack, etc

The Design Strategy

I grounded the design strategy in early research insights showing that warranties are most compelling when replacement costs feel meaningfully high and when expectations are set clearly upfront. Rather than treating warranties as a transactional upsell, I reframed them as a trust-building decision journey that spans discovery, evaluation, purchase, and post-purchase moments.

Scalable upsell design patterns

I created a system where customers could opt in from multiple surfaces: product detail pages, cart, checkout, and post-purchase—without forcing linear behavior or repeated steps.

This approach supported non-linear shopping patterns while ensuring consistent education, honest communication, and predictable outcomes across marketplaces.

Tight coupling of price & value

To reinforce perceived value, I focused on placing warranty education near product pricing and cart totals so customers could directly assess replacement risk versus coverage.

Messaging emphasized peace of mind, reduced disruption, and clarity around what happens when something goes wrong—addressing the moments where trust was most likely to break down.

25% reduction in customer contacts

Customers were buying warranty plans and then losing track of them. Reviews kept flagging the same problem.

I built a self-service flow right into Your Orders, so each item shows its plan, with a quick link to file a claim or pull up the full terms.
