In December 2025, Searchanise introduced a major update to its Search & Filter app for Shopify, focused on improving product discovery, pricing clarity, and on-site personalization. The release includes new Product Recommendation widgets and flexible sales price customization, enabling Shopify merchants to control how prices and recommended products appear across search results and widgets.

Product Recommendations Widgets

We're excited to announce that Product Recommendations is now live in Searchanise Search & Filter for Shopify! This feature doesn’t just display products — it drives conversions, increases AOV, and improves customer satisfaction by showing the right products to the right shoppers at the right time.

Key Benefits for Your Store

  • Increase Conversions – Guide customers to products they’re more likely to buy. Stores using recommendations often see a measurable lift in conversion rates by reducing bounce rates and abandoned carts.
  • Boost Average Order Value – Encourage customers to add complementary or higher-value items to their cart. Merchants leveraging upsell and cross-sell recommendations can generate 10–30% more revenue per order.
  • Improve Customer Experience – Help shoppers discover relevant products without extra searching, create a smoother, more satisfying shopping journey that encourages repeat purchases and loyalty.

6 Types of Recommendations Available

Choose from versatile recommendation types to match your merchandising strategy:

  • New Products – Showcase your latest arrivals on any page
  • Featured Products – Curate must-see items for promotions or high-margin products.
  • Similar Products – Display products similar by type, options, tags, vendor, or collections on product pages
  • Most Popular Products – Feature your all-time bestsellers anywhere on your site
  • Products by Attribute – Show products filtered by type, vendor, collection, or tag
  • Customers Who Bought This Also Bought – Leverage purchase behavior to suggest complementary products on the product page
