Adding this latest enhancement is just one step in OnBuy’s goal of being the partner of choice for retailers while continuing to offer them added value at no additional expense.

“We understand how many challenges retailers face, especially considering how other marketplaces directly compete with them, often ‘search rigging’ to prioritize the promotion of their own products. We don’t sell our own products and are here to exclusively support retailers, not go head-to-head with them.”

“With OnBuy offering a ‘paradox of choice’, product discovery is crucial, and our new search developments help to surface more relevant products from thousands of UK retailers. As such, more products get found, and more products get bought,” Paton continued.

OnBuy’s Growth Directly Tied to Seller Success

Unlike other marketplaces, OnBuy does not own any inventory. The company only makes money when its retailers sell goods on the platform. As a result, OnBuy has a natural interest to invest heavily in developing products and services to support its sellers.

The improvements to the search function, which are rooted in ‘relevance science’ incorporate updates to filters, analyzers, and search suggestions which have vastly improved the customer experience, allowing consumers to find the right products, faster than ever before.

“With a fast-growing online marketplace like OnBuy, every development and improvement matters. £5.5m worth of increased sales from the first phase of improving onsite search demonstrates just how much potential OnBuy has for its retailers,” Paton added.

“We intend to revolutionize the eCommerce model and will continue to promote a fair and transparent offering for our vendors. This monumental development is a giant leap for unbiased online shopping, and there is much more we plan to achieve to benefit both retailers and consumers.”

OnBuy’s vision is to deliver an exceptional experience to customers and retailers using its platform.

The new onsite search marks another milestone on their journey to change the face of ecommerce with a further roadmap of significant improvements and new integrations ahead that will solidify OnBuy’s position as a fearsome challenger in the market.
