New Consumer Data Reveals Financial Confidence Slump Driving Shift to Intentional Shopping

Global survey of 6,000 shoppers from Woo and Klaviyo reveals the rise of intentional purchasing and what it means for ecommerce brands

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A comprehensive new consumer study from Woo and Klaviyo uncovers how fragmented and validation-driven shopping journeys have become in 2025. The global survey of more than 6,000 consumers across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia found that 43% of shoppers research products on one platform but purchase on another. Consumers validate every purchase across channels — comparing reviews, checking multiple sources, and weighing both practical and emotional value before committing.

The research also exposes a significant economic divide that's fundamentally changing how people approach online purchasing decisions.

Shopping journeys are cross-platform and intentional

Consumers are increasingly cautious and deliberate, prioritizing validation over convenience. Rising living costs, a flood of digital options, and changing discovery behaviors mean shoppers now triangulate their decisions across multiple platforms. They validate across multiple touchpoints before committing; 55% of Gen Z are discovering products on TikTok, but they still turn to Amazon to validate with reviews before buying. For brands, this means that each impression must work harder and trust must be earned at every stage of the journey.

"This research confirms what our merchant community is experiencing firsthand: consumers are taking longer, more complex paths to purchase because they're being more intentional about every decision," said Tamara Niesen, Chief Marketing Officer at Woo. "The financial confidence divide we uncovered shows why brands need to shift from simply selling products to delivering genuine value and experiences that meet shoppers where they are, both practically and emotionally."

The role of AI in discovery

The study also revealed that 28% of consumers already use AI for online product discovery, with adoption soaring to 66% among high earners. As organic search clicks decline, AI summaries increasingly shape what shoppers see first. Structured data, clear product information, and trusted reviews now directly impact brand visibility in AI-driven results.

Trust and personalization define the new standard

Despite economic pressures, consumers refuse to compromise on quality, safety, and trust. The study found 64% of consumers say reviews are their top purchase driver, while 43% will abandon a purchase if product quality feels uncertain.

"Consumers are telling us loud and clear: every purchase now comes with higher expectations. It's not just about price, it's about trust, timing, and relevance," said Jamie Domenici, Chief Marketing Officer at Klaviyo. "This research shows why brands need a unified understanding of their data to build stronger relationships with every customer and deliver shopping experiences that feel personal and meaningful."

Real merchants are already seeing these shifts firsthand 

WooCommerce merchant and Klaviyo customer Smile Brilliant has experienced the changing landscape described in the research. "Audiences for your product are becoming increasingly difficult to attract and retain," said Brendon Alaniz, Lead Project Manager at Smile Brilliant. "Having the tools to optimize engagement and conversions, foster relationships, and maintain trust is critical for success in today's ecommerce landscape."

About the research

The study was conducted by Atomik Research among 6,021 respondents across the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia in June 2025. The survey examined consumer motivations, friction points in the buying journey, loyalty drivers, and end-to-end digital shopping behaviors across age groups and income levels.
