“(product search box and deal grid — marketplace homepage without ecosystem positioning)”
The homepage presents Mercado Libre as a product marketplace competing on selection and price. The integrated ecosystem (payments, logistics, credit) that makes it structurally different from local competitors goes unnamed. A first-time visitor from a market with growing e-commerce adoption sees a search box and deals — the same template every marketplace uses.
“Add an ecosystem strip: "Find it. Pay in installments. Get it delivered to your door — all in one place, backed by buyer protection."”
Naming the end-to-end flow (find, pay, receive, protected) communicates the integrated value that no single-purpose competitor offers. Installment payments are a conversion driver unique to the region and deserve hero-level visibility.
