Rebuy companion for Shopify product pages
Rebuy is built to grow the basket once a shopper has decided - smart cart, checkout and post-purchase upsells. RecoMelon is built for the moment before that, on the product page, when a shopper likes what they see but it is not quite right. Many stores run both.
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.
The discovery problem
Cart, checkout and post-purchase offers do their work once a shopper has decided what to buy. Many product-page exits happen earlier: the shopper likes the colour or the cut, but one detail is wrong, and there is no close alternative in view.
Treat those as two different problems. Decide which journeys need help with the first choice and which need help growing the order, then assess each tool against the moment it is built for.
Where RecoMelon fits
Shop Similar and Reveal™ show visually matched alternatives on the product page. Dealbreaker™ Filters let the shopper rule out a sleeve, neckline, finish or colour without leaving the panel.
VisualDNA™ matches from the product image, so new collections can be recommended before they have sales history.
The same visual layer can extend to The Index™ search, Smart Collections and SecondLook™ abandoned-cart alternatives, while basket growth stays with the cart tools already in place.
Coexistence and implementation
Place RecoMelon's Shop Similar on the product page, for example just below Add to Cart, and keep Rebuy in the cart drawer, checkout and post-purchase. Avoid running two recommendation widgets in the same slot.
RecoMelon installs from the Shopify App Store through a theme app embed and block. Rebuy is currently installed via rebuyengine.com. A native Rebuy connector is not assumed, so agree which tool owns each placement and how events are attributed before launch.
Evaluation and evidence
For the product page, track recommendation clicks, Dealbreaker™ use, rec-influenced orders and rec-influenced AOV against the store's native AOV. For the cart, keep the measures Rebuy is already judged on.
Compare against the period before the change and keep conclusions to the categories and markets tested. Pretty Lavish, for example, reported rec-influenced AOV of £159.18 against a native £126.75 after adding visual galleries to the product page, with no change to checkout.
The shopper journey has two gaps. RecoMelon closes the first (choosing the product), Rebuy the second (building the basket). Assign each tool its own placements - for example RecoMelon's Shop Similar under Add to Cart, Rebuy in the cart drawer - and measure each against its own baseline.
Proof: Pretty Lavish raised average order value on recommendation-influenced orders from £126.75 to £159.18 after adding visual Shop Similar galleries and Dealbreaker Filters to the product page, with no change to checkout. Read the case study.
Not directly. They cover different placements. RecoMelon includes bundles and cart recommendations, but its core is product-page discovery.
Not if each owns separate placements. Avoid two widgets in the same slot.
If product pages have high traffic and high bounce, start with RecoMelon. If shoppers convert but buy one item, start with cart upsells.
