Extend Shopify Search & Discovery with visual intelligence
Shopify Search & Discovery provides native search and filtering tools. RecoMelon adds visual product intelligence and connected discovery across natural-language search, smart collections, PDP alternatives and complementary bundles. Brands can evaluate the additional surfaces without committing to an immediate replacement.
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.
RecoMelon can complement Shopify Search & Discovery, and The Index™ can take on search or collection discovery where the deployment supports it. Replacement should follow a review of current filters, synonyms, merchandising rules, markets and analytics.
Start with a visual PDP journey, selected Smart Collection or natural-language search use case and measure it against the existing experience.
Maintain crawlable collection URLs, useful on-page copy, internal links, canonicals and accessible product content. The implementation should enhance discovery without hiding important catalogue information from search engines.
We’ll identify where Shopify’s native experience is sufficient and where RecoMelon can add measurable value.
