Klevu alternative for Shopify search and discovery
Klevu and RecoMelon can both enter the conversation when a Shopify brand needs better search and merchandising. RecoMelon extends the decision across visual product relationships, smart collections, PDP alternatives and complementary bundles, with a phased path for brands that do not want to replace everything at once.
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.
No. RecoMelon can start alongside an existing Klevu deployment. Select a category or discovery surface, establish a baseline and decide which platform controls each experience during the test.
RecoMelon interprets product imagery and catalogue context to support searches and recommendations involving colour, silhouette, pattern, material and style. The same intelligence can inform The Index™, Smart Collections, Reveal™ and Bundles™.
Use real natural-language queries, visually complex categories, new-product discovery, PDP alternative exploration and complementary-product selection. A native Klevu connector is not assumed.
Compare relevance and commercial outcomes alongside catalogue preparation, operational control, regional support, analytics and implementation ownership. Expand only after the selected test demonstrates value.
Share the searches, collections or PDP journeys creating the most friction. We’ll propose a controlled test with clear ownership and measurement.
