Merge handled the complete UX/UI design lifecycle for the app's interface. They researched similar apps, created wireframes to map out the user experience, and then produced the final interface design in Figma.

The design Merge delivered was a key part of the app's positive start. It looks good and feels intuitive to use. We met our goal of making setup easy for non-technical users. Merchants are typically getting it done now in under three minutes. This user-friendly design contributes to our low early churn rate (below 2%) and supports the positive results stores are seeing.
