Insight-to-Decision Trail

Australia is Singapore Airlines' second largest KrisFlyer membership base after Singapore, with over 1 million untapped KrisFlyer miles redeemed annually — yet Australian members had no dedicated KrisShop storefront to spend them on. Flight redemptions face limited inventory, creating a strategic opportunity to shift customer demand toward non-air redemptions through a localised KrisShop experience.

The design challenge was to translate this business opportunity into a coherent, insight-led product — one that surfaces miles as a meaningful currency for Australian shoppers across every touchpoint of the shopping journey.

Insight to Decision
01 — Homepage

Miles balance is prominently featured on the homepage, immediately signposting to KrisFlyer members that their miles are spendable here. This anchors the value proposition from the moment a member lands on the site.

02 — Campaign Page

A dynamic miles redemption landing page drives discovery, showcasing participating products and communicating the savings available when redeeming miles. This page adapts based on available promotions to keep the offer feeling current.

03 — Product page

Miles are presented as the primary currency for miles burners, with miles pricing displayed alongside AUD pricing on every product card. This makes it easy for members to compare and identify the best value for their miles.

04 — Shopping bag

At bag, potential cost savings are displayed to customers based on their KrisFlyer milesbalance. With clear feedback on how many miles will be used and the resulting AUD saving. The flow is designed to reduce friction and encourage miles redemption at the point of purchase.

AU LOCALISATION CHANGE

All prices display in AUD (A$), not SGD. Miles balance is shown prominently to prompt redemption — a behaviour AU frequent flyers expect.

WHY IT MATTERS

The logical solution was to surface AUD pricing upfront, enabling faster comprehension and reducing drop-off before checkout.

AU LOCALISATION CHANGE

AU has a distinct redemption rule whereby amount redeemed with miles are not subjected to taxes. This is absent from the SG flow. The cost-saving is surfaced inline.

WHY IT MATTERS

The AU flow needed to surface the tax-saving benefit of miles redemption, which was not present in the SG flow. This was a key motivator for AU members to redeem miles, and it was important to make this clear and visible in the checkout flow.

AU LOCALISATION CHANGE

Annual loyalty vouchers are applied after miles in the AU flow — a sequencing rule required by AU commerce logic, different from SG's simultaneous application.

WHY IT MATTERS

The sequencing order affected the final payable amount. Making this visible (not silent) gave users trust that both discounts were applied correctly.

AU LOCALISATION CHANGE

Full payment breakdown shown in AUD, with a clear miles-earned summary — an AU KrisFlyer expectation from the loyalty programme.

WHY IT MATTERS

Including the miles-earned line gives members a clearer post-purchase summary and makes the loyalty benefit more visible.

01 — Order Details

Every order consolidates the seller, shipment breakdown, and available actions into a single view — the foundation the marketplace features below are built on.

02 — Group Seller

Products from the same seller are grouped under a single fulfiller, streamlining the order view and reducing fragmentation when a purchase spans multiple listings.

03 — Track Order

End-to-end shipment tracking is surfaced directly within KrisShop, removing the need to navigate to external courier sites to check on a delivery.

04 — Contact Seller

Customers can reach the seller directly from the order page, supporting post-purchase queries and building trust with marketplace listings.

05 — Return Request

A self-service return request flow meets Australian Consumer Law requirements, giving customers a clear, guided path to initiate a return.
