5. HOW ARE MOST MERCHANTS APPROACHING MOBILE ?
Mobile Website-Why start with a mobile website?
Easily found via web search; customers are automatically
redirected and there is nothing to download
Fast time to market , lower cost to develop
Not device specific-agnostic, one dev supports all handsets
Leverages your existing development
Supports dynamic content

6. USE A PROXY PARTNER?
Proxy Partners scrape your existing website and create
rules to reformat the content to fit mobile screens
Can be economical to implement
Speed to market (6-12 weeks)
Partner handles all- little
dependency on in-house resources
Proxy sites must match your web page flow
and content, so not always optimal on mobile
Typically have longer pages with more scrolling
Approximately 53% of merchants launch with a proxy partner

15. THE MOBILE WEB IS NOT THE WEB
Build the right user experience for your customers
Try to build a unique mobile experience for your customers. Here are some
suggestions on how to optimize a mobile site or app:
• Minimize data entry and scrolling whenever possible:
• Allow shoppers or those donating to find what they need with minimal
clicks/scrolling
• Use expandable sections when possible so most content fits on screen
• Make sure links and buttons are large enough to click on with small screens
• Place ‘Donate Button’ at top and bottom of the screen
• Make donating or checking out fast and easy – leverage auto-populate functionality
when possible and provide ‘progress bar’ at top.
• Allow users to checkout as guests (without lengthy login)
• Keep the design simple and clean- it is not necessary to put entire website
offerings on a mobile device
“It seems to me that PayPal is likely one of the best options for mobile sites
— it helps to reduce the number of keystrokes, and most Web buyers already
have established PayPal accounts”
