New Native eCommerce Features

April was a big month for improvements to Duda's Native eCommerce solution!

  • New Native Store Widget: Product Search - This new widget will improve store visitors' experience, providing faster search results, and offers better product discoverability. It works on all screen sizes to keep the experience consistent no matter the device.
  • Abandoned Carts - This feature allows you to view the list of your store's abandoned carts, the items they include, and information about the customer who left. You can use this for retargeting efforts for a specific customer, highlighting what they left behind.
  • New Template: Optic Store - While built with a theme around eyewear, this can easily be adjusted to any other eComm niche. It has a sleek, modern design - with a full-screen view of the main hero image, with navigation and checkout links placed at the top.

AudioEye - Now only $9.99 Per Month

When it comes to accessibility, the AudioEye app is a no-brainer. AudioEye is an industry-leading website accessibility compliance app that works in accordance with the Americans Disability Act (ADA) and Web Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It will ensure you are protected from a lawsuit and is now 70% cheaper in the Duda App Store at just $9.99 per month.
