API-led visual discovery for headless Shopify
Headless storefronts need discovery services that fit existing presentation, caching, analytics and release patterns. RecoMelon can be scoped as an API-led product intelligence layer across search, collections, PDP alternatives and complementary-product experiences.
Search that understands what shoppers mean. Conversational and contextual search interprets style, colour, attributes and intent. Dynamic merchandising balances commercial and catalogue priorities, while inline Shop Similar and integrated LiveGrid™ UGC keep shoppers discovering without returning to a static results grid.
Shop Similar, directly from the product image. When a product is "almost right", Reveal™ offers visually aligned alternatives from within the primary product image, above the fold. Shoppers stay on the PDP and keep their intent while finding an alternative without the attribute stopping the purchase.
Turn “almost right” into another relevant option. Shop Similar keeps high-intent shoppers exploring with visually matched alternatives based on the product they are already considering - helping them refine their choice without starting their search again.
Turn one product into a complete look. Complementary recommendations create multiple looks around a chosen product, with configurable discounts and multi-buy offers to increase AOV. Bundle Rescue swaps unavailable or unsuitable items for visually similar alternatives without breaking the set. Integrated LiveGrid™ content helps shoppers visualise the combination.
Abandoned Cart Email Rescue. Sending shoppers back to rejected products repeats the problem. SecondLook™ restores the abandoned basket and offers visually matched alternatives for each item - helping shoppers find a better fit while preserving basket intent and cross-sell opportunities.
Headless delivery is scoped to the storefront architecture. Define catalogue ingestion, API responsibilities, rendering, caching, fallbacks, analytics and ownership before implementation.
Yes. An API-led approach allows the storefront team to present RecoMelon intelligence through the brand’s own components and interaction patterns.
Keep important product and collection information server-rendered or otherwise crawlable, maintain canonical URLs and internal links, and avoid relying exclusively on client-side interaction for essential content.
Share the storefront stack, catalogue model and target surfaces. We’ll identify the APIs, ownership and rollout approach required.
