🤖 New: Product Recommendation Rules

Product Recommendation Rules is a new way to show the best product recommendations at every step of the funnel.

Tell Atlas what products you want to show, or start from a template, and it builds the rule for you.

For example: “recommend the cheapest items that get a cart to free shipping in my cart upsells.”

Assign the rule to your product page, cart, checkout, or post-purchase upsells, and test it against what you run today.

Available now on Smart Merchandising, Smart Checkout & Post-Purchase, and Unlimited plans.

🛒 Rule Ideas for Your Black Friday Carts

Not sure what to build first?

Try a rule like “Show accessories that go with the tote.” A shopper with a tote in the cart sees a pouch, a strap, and a luggage tag.

This blog has ten more, including closing the free shipping gap and skipping sold-out sizes, with sample prompts you can adapt.

📚 IntelliJAMS EP 078 –

Is That Shopify App Worth It?

Alex and Nick from Abbott Lyon get ahead of the post-BFCM question every ecom team asks: which tools are we keeping? Nick's answer: stop going on vibes and test them.

Key takeaways:

• Not sure an app is earning its spot? Hide what it adds to your site, like a popup or banner, for some visitors and compare revenue
• Test the apps that change how your site looks first. Upsell apps show their own impact in attachment rate, so they need it less
• Before BFCM, review your past tests. A loser overall may have won with new customers, so price it down if you’re acquiring 

If your app bill keeps growing and you can't say which tools pay for themselves,  start here.

💙 Blue Bars of the Week

Did it even happen if you didn't share the bars? We don't think so.

This week: Oliver Kenyon moved a guarantee from the footer to the Add to Cart button and shared the result 👇

Takeaway: Risk reversal belongs next to the button, not in the footer. Check where your guarantee, returns policy, or free shipping promise lives today, because it may be buried.
