How BolideAI works for Shopify
BolideAI is an app built for Shopify stores to help you leverage the full power of marketing to improve conversion rates and increase your sales. You can manage the app from your Shopify admin. Use the in-app tools to set up a work system that brings measurable results and grows your business.
Upsell & Cross-Sell
The Upsell & Cross-Sell product blocks by Bolide increase your chances of converting new visitors by displaying product recommendations. Recommendations are built automatically based on the properties you set up.
The BolideAI recommendation engine helps you simplify and speed up product discovery to guide customers’ shopping journey. This flexible mechanism supports manual merchandising rules, including a set number of product items in the recommendation results.
Similar Products
The Similar Products block, traditionally shown on the product details page, recommends items similar to those currently viewed. The suggestions can be based on product type, tag, vendor, or collection to present customers with relevant product alternatives.
Most Popular Products
The Most Popular Products block displays the bestselling products on your website. It adds some social proof and stimulates the buyer’s interest in viewing the recommended items.
Customers Who Bought This Product Also Bought
Customers Who Bought This Product Also Bought is a classic strategy for cross-selling. It shows relevant products frequently bought by customers who also purchased the item currently viewed.
New Products
New Products are the product items recently added to your catalog. Showing visitors that your catalog is updated regularly boosts customer confidence that your store is active and stimulates shopping.
Products by Attribute
The Products by Attribute block automatically generates recommendations based on attributes like vendor, product type, collection, size, color, discount, or tag. It can be added to any page and serves various merchandising purposes.
Featured Products
Featured Products allow you to create your own recommendation widget that displays products you have manually selected. The widget can be added to any page and serves various merchandising purposes. For example, you may want to show products that aren’t selling fast enough or ones that are unique to your store. You can place Featured Products on your Shopify store to bring more attention to products that are:
- On sale
- Low selling
- Limited edition
- Part of a collaboration with an influencer
Recently Viewed Products
Recently Viewed Products allow your customers to pick up their shopping journey from where they left off on a previous visit. It displays a block of products they have recently viewed, eliminating the need for them to search for items they are interested in through the website navigation and prompting them to proceed with the purchase. You can decide how to store data from visitor views and display relevant products.
Free Shipping Bar
A Free Shipping Bar is a full-width banner that sticks to the top or bottom of your Shopify page and informs visitors that a free shipping offer is available once their shopping cart reaches a certain order amount.
The Free Shipping Bar has progressive messages that change as customers start adding items to the shopping cart. Each time they add something to the cart, the message on the bar updates to say how much they have left to spend to get free shipping.
Once the customer reaches the free shipping offer goal, the banner congratulates them and prompts them to check out. This encourages the customer to complete the order.
Customers see the free shipping offer as an added value to the products they buy. They view it as a chance to save money while buying more of what they need. This increases customer loyalty, resulting in more regular purchases.
Multi-Announcement Bar
A Multi-Announcement Bar is a simple but impressive tool to increase engagement and raise the conversion rate. It's easy to add a bar to your store site informing your customers of announcements, special events, and offers.
The Multi-Announcement Bar is a full-width slider with banners that appears at the top or bottom of the visitor's browser window as the site loads. Sliding banners include notification messages, promotional or store update, and a button with a call to action. Customers who click on the button are redirected to the page you want to promote.

You can style your bar precisely the way you want, including color and typography adjustments to match your brand's look and style. The bar makes your site look more dynamic and up to date.
Countdown Timer Bar
A Countdown Timer Bar lets you add a time counter to your website without coding. The Countdown Timer Bar informs your customers about sales and motivates them to shop by stimulating a sense of urgency.
When your customers land on your site, they see a full-width banner displayed at the top or bottom of the storefront. The banner includes a message, a countdown timer, and a button. The message on the bar informs them about a sale running out, the timer displays the time left before their promotional offer ends, and the button has a call to action to shop now. Upon clicking on the button, customers are redirected to the pre-defined special offer page. The timer starts and ends individually for every visitor. The emphasis on the scarcity of your deal gives the customer a sense of urgency. This results in shortening the order completion duration.
