Ep. 192. Intentional Commerce: From Transaction to Trust

For the past 15 years, ecommerce has optimized for frictionless transactions - removing clicks, reducing pauses, and accelerating checkout. That strategy worked and drove massive scale. But we’re now seeing a shift. What if, in eliminating bad friction, we also removed the good friction - the moments that build confidence and reduce regret? This is the Friction Paradox. Instead of optimizing for speed to buy, the next evolution optimizes for speed to certainty - helping customers feel confident in their decision, not just complete them faster. So how do we design experiences that increase trust, lower returns, and drive long-term retention - especially in the age of AI-assisted shopping? With leadership experience at global scale, Karishma Damani, Director of Product Management at Walmart, shares her perspective on: - why frictionless isn’t always better - how to design for customer confidence, not just conversion - what Intentional Commerce means in an AI-driven world - why agents will evaluate your brand differently than users Hosted by Tomasz Grynkiewicz, Head of Growth at Netguru Do you have any questions?
