Everything You Need to Maximize Conversions
Accurate Search Results
Get full control over search results, and deliver the products your shoppers expect, every time. Show the most searched items at the top of search results pages. Easily create and manage synonyms. Automatically display the same relevant products for singular and plural versions of a search term. Get any misspellings corrected instantly. Save your shoppers from seeing the “Zero Results Page” and show the most relevant results.
Merchandise Your Collection Pages and Search Results
Customize the layout and order of products on your collection pages. Clear out inventory by prioritizing low-stock items, or boost your conversion rates by moving best sellers to the top. Use drag-and-drop controls to arrange products by aesthetic, or use boost rules to automatically sort and rank products based on rules such as margin, product newness, or product ranking. No development resources required.
Personalize the Shopper Experience
Recommend products that an individual shopper is likely to purchase based on order history and recently viewed items. Determine the order of Product Recommendations on specific details. Prioritize which brand or product category to recommend first with relevant items. Recommend products that a shopper should consider purchasing in addition to the item they are currently viewing. Use real-time targeting to dynamically display relevant results based on a shopper’s location.
Category Sort and Filter Options for Your Shoppers
Rather than being stuck with default sort, create brand new sort options to make it easier for shoppers to find what they want. Overcome common filter restrictions with dynamically generated facets that can be manually selected and sorted. Give your shoppers better sorting options without the need for theme or template customizations and any technical knowledge.
Leverage All Your Data
With Searchspring, you can finally take advantage of all the data you have at your disposal. Custom ecommerce reports give you the data you need in a ready-made dashboard, without all the confusing fluff. Learn which products and pages are performing well, and which aren’t. Find out what your customers want that they can’t find, and much more.
