Case study Pharmacy 2026 # Checkout Designed for Pharmacies: How Farmácia Indiana Increased Its Website Conversion Rate by 17.1% > With over 90 years of history and more than 200 stores, Farmácia Indiana redesigned its checkout process with Compra Rápida, focusing on in-store pickup, and increased its conversion rate by 17.1%. The brand Farmácia Indiana With over 90 years of history and more than 200 stores in Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Espírito Santo, Farmácia Indiana has brought its core mission, to care for those in need, quickly and with a personal touch, into the digital realm. On the website, most orders are picked up in-store and ready within 30 minutes. It was with this reality in mind that Indiana and Compra Rápida redesigned the checkout process. The results **+17.1%** in paid-order conversion **91%** rate the experience as good or great ## At the pharmacy, in-store pickup is the rule For most e-commerce sites, in-store pickup is a secondary option. At Farmácia Indiana, it’s the primary option, and that changes the entire checkout process. Many medications require a prescription, which is collected at the time of pickup, and therefore can only be dispensed over the counter. Customers who have already selected the store in their shopping cart shouldn’t have to enter an address. The delivery time shown on the product page must remain the same until the order is confirmed. And all of this happens on a smartphone, where most purchases are made. Add to that a customer who comes back every month to restock on medications, and every detail of the customer journey repeats itself with each purchase. That’s where the opportunity lay. > “When we thought about the checkout process, our goal was to improve the overall shopping experience, not just to make the payment process faster.” > > **Lara Silveira Rocha**, e-commerce coordinator at Farmácia Indiana ## A withdrawal journey planned together with Indiana Compra Rápida implemented its headless checkout integrated with the Indiana platform and, together with the chain’s e-commerce team, redesigned the pickup process based on actual customer behavior: - **The store selected in the shopping cart applies at checkout.** Customers who have already chosen where they will pick up their order can proceed directly to payment without entering an address. - **The nearest store is preselected** when the product is available for pickup only, with the full list available at the tap of a button to switch. - **Pickup by a third party:** The customer specifies who will pick up the order. - **Automatically applied prescription rules.** The item that requires a prescription is marked for in-store pickup only, with a clear notice at the top of the checkout page, and the rest of the cart can be delivered as usual. - **The pickup time is the same on all screens**, with the same promise as in the storefront: ready in up to 30 minutes. For those who return every month, 1-click checkout saves your information and preferences, and your next order takes just a few taps. Three screens from the Farmácia Indiana checkout process: prescription notification, pickup location selection, and summary with pickup within 30 minutes > “Compra Rápida made sense for us because it offers simple and streamlined navigation that aligns well with our customers’ profiles and the convenience they seek when making a purchase. (...) The integration process was quick and secure, which gave us a lot of confidence to move forward with the solution.” > > **Lara Silveira Rocha**, e-commerce coordinator at Farmácia Indiana ## Results proven in an A/B test The new experience was put to the test in an A/B test against the platform's checkout, with the results measured in Indiana's own Google Analytics: - **A 17.1%** increase in the conversion rate for paid orders; - **91%** of customers rated the experience as “good” or “great,” with an average score of 4.6 out of 5; - **100%** of the website at the Compra Rápida Checkout after the test; - a pickup process that has become the standard checkout method for Compra Rápida at other retail chains with physical stores. ## More than just a checkout, a look at the entire journey > “The results were quite significant. We saw a 17% increase in conversion after implementation. But beyond the results themselves, the partnership throughout the entire process made a huge difference. We had close communication, support from the team, and data that helped inform our decisions. This allowed us to look beyond just the checkout process and consider the broader customer journey, identifying other opportunities to improve our customers’ experience.” > > **Lara Silveira Rocha**, e-commerce coordinator at Farmácia Indiana That’s the kind of partnership Compra Rápida seeks with each client: testing, measuring based on the client’s own data, and continuing to improve the customer journey once the results are in. ## A checkout experience on par with a brick-and-mortar store The case of Farmácia Indiana shows that checkout is not just a generic step. A pharmacy chain sells convenience, and the digital journey must deliver the same convenience as the counter: choose, pay, and pick up in minutes, without having to re-enter information and with no surprises regarding delivery times.
