Challenges overview
The client needed a Shopify app development to customize product recommendations based on shoppers' experience and navigate them to the right product.
We started with discovering essential information like data storage and management architecture to support multiple shops, security issues, the interaction between Shopify and AI, recommendation carousel customization for each store, and development of additional features to customize interaction.
Our task was to launch a Shopify app that would allow our client to:
Collect customer interactions with a Shopify store like clicks, purchases, and add-to-cart events.
Synchronize all shop data, such as product listings, orders, and customers, with a customer management platform for AI system training.
Develop a widget for personalized AI recommendations. The recommended content is unique to every user, depending on their past shopping experiences or their interactions with the website.
Our solution
From the app idea to launching the personalized recommendation Shopify app, we needed to study the documentation, analyze, and make a presentation of the future app. After idea approval, we arranged the complex process of verification at Shopify and attached all the necessary instructions.
So, to provide the Shopify app development, we went through the following stages:
Collected all the necessary data including orders, products, and customers from a store, and sent it to the client API so that the AI recommender system backed by Shopify could start learning the historical data.
Sent the data back to Shopify to display recommendations. We needed to track all the data 24/7, including new orders, and all the changes for the products and customers to update webhooks that send changes to the client API.
Developed recommendation carousel management depending on the Shopify version 1.0 or 2.0, the carousel changed dynamically. Furthermore, the clients can configure users’ custom interactions like clicks to improve their machine learning tool.
Result
DigitalSuits helped Crossing Minds to develop the app which connects the content recommendation platform with Shopify stores and provides an advanced algorithm that makes smart and accurate recommendations based on on-site actions alone.
As a result, our team successfully deployed the first version of the app in 5 months to the Shopify App store. The app passed the verification process and became available for Shopify Plus clients.
Today there are six clients who use the app and win more customers by making the buying process as simple as possible by providing the tools, knowledge, and guidance buyers need.
Now our team is working on custom improvements that will help settle customers' issues remotely without access to the store. We are proud to become a partner with the company, which won MarTech Best e-Commerce Web Platform Award in 2022.
