Role: Solo Product Designer

Sprint: 1.5-Hour Rapid Feature Design Sprint (End-to-End UX & Wireframing)

Platform: Swiggy Mobile App (iOS / Android)

Tools: Figma, Notion

1. Context & Problem Statement

When ordering food for groups, the host pays the full bill upfront and faces friction afterward: manually calculating individual shares, switching to external UPI apps (GPay/PhonePe), and chasing friends for reimbursement.

This 1.5-hour design sprint focuses on integrating a native post-order bill-splitting feature directly into Swiggy to streamline group expenses without compromising order fulfillment.

2. Core Architectural UX Decision

Why Post-Order vs. Pre-Checkout?

• Funnel Protection: Placing the split option after order confirmation ensures Swiggy's core checkout funnel remains frictionless. Orders are never delayed or abandoned while waiting for group members to approve payment.
• 100% Payment Security: The host pays the total amount upfront via digital methods (UPI / Debit / Credit Cards / Net Banking), guaranteeing 100% order payment to Swiggy.
• Seamless Reimbursement: Collected shares are automatically credited back to the host's Swiggy Money Wallet or their original payment method as friends settle up.

3. Screen-by-Screen Breakdown

Screen 1: Order Confirmation (Feature Entry Point)

• Goal: Introduce the feature immediately after order placement without obscuring tracking.

Screen 2: Contact Selection

• Goal: Allow quick, low-effort selection of group members.

Screen 3: Bill Distribution & Settlement

• Goal: Provide flexible splitting (Equal vs. Custom) with transparent calculations.
