Turning technical product pages into a sales funnel

Paylando builds advanced vending machines, but their website worked like a product catalog, asking visitors to configure machines before they understood the value. We redesigned the buying journey around the customer's decision, not the spec sheet.

Overview

Great at building products, not at selling them

Paylando is a leading Swedish vending machine supplier (refrigerated, freezer, and elevator machines, payment terminals, and automated retail) that helps businesses automate product sales.

Their products were technically advanced, but the website struggled to communicate value and guide visitors toward a purchase. As the client put it: "We are great at technology but not marketing." Our brief was simple: turn technical product pages into conversion-focused sales funnels.

The Challenge

A catalog, not a sales experience

Product pages led with technical specifications, connectivity options, payment terminal choices, and machine customization, all before answering the questions that actually drive a purchase: Why buy this? How does it help my business? Which machine is right for me?

A catalog, not a funnel

Category pages behaved like product listings rather than a guided buying experience, so visitors had to do the work of figuring out what fit.

Configure before you understand

Users were asked to choose terminals, connectivity, and branding before they understood whether the machine was right for them.

Specs over outcomes

Pages prioritized technical detail over business outcomes, with weak product storytelling and positioning.

Hard to compare

Visitors struggled to compare machines and understand the differences between models, and the payment terminals had no real sales journey.

Research & CRO Audit

We mapped every obstacle to purchase

Before redesigning anything, we ran a full UX and CRO audit across product discovery paths, page structure, navigation, the buying flow, and conversion friction points. Five findings shaped the work.

#1
Configuration before value
Users had to configure products before understanding what they were buying.
#2
Specs over business outcomes
Product pages prioritized technical specifications over why the product matters.
#3
Catalog-style category pages
Category pages behaved like product catalogs, not guided buying experiences.
#4
No easy comparison
Visitors could not easily compare machines or understand model differences.
#5
No terminal sales journey
The payment terminal ecosystem lacked a dedicated sales journey.

The Redesign

Rebuilt around the buying decision

We restructured the site from a product catalog into a guided buying experience. Instead of leading with "Which payment terminal do you want?", every page first answered "Why should you buy this machine?"

01

Information architecture

Rebuilt product listings, detail pages, navigation, categorization, and the comparison experience so the site guides rather than lists.

02

Product discovery

Redesigned the category experience around one question, "Which machine is right for my business?", using differentiation, use cases, and feature comparisons.

03

Product page transformation

Moved pages from Specifications → Configuration → Purchase to Problem → Solution → Benefits → Trust → Purchase, with positioning, use cases, comparisons, and clear CTAs.

04

Payment terminal ecosystem

Reframed terminals from technical add-ons into customer-need pages: use cases, connectivity, benefits, industry applications, and comparisons.

05

Purchase-flow optimization

Changed the journey from Product → Configuration → Purchase to Discover → Learn → Compare → Configure → Purchase, cutting cognitive overload.

06

Product messaging

Repositioned features (all-metal build, heated double-layer glass, touchscreen, contactless payments) around business outcomes, not just specs.

Discover
Learn
Compare

Purchase

Event-driven and orchestrated in the cloud: every step independently observable, retryable, and parallel.

Common Questions

What this project shows

Both, in the right order. We started with a CRO audit to find where visitors got stuck, then redesigned the information architecture, product discovery, and product pages to remove that friction. The look improved, but every decision was made to help people understand, compare, and buy.

Is your site a catalog or a sales tool?

If your product pages explain features but do not guide a decision, the fastest growth is usually in the buying journey, not the ad budget. Let's find where yours leaks.
