Crossing Minds Now Available To Shopify Merchants

Shopify’s investment comes at a pivotal moment for online commerce. As global consumer data privacy laws are tightened and third-party cookies that track users across the Web are phased out, merchants are turning to solutions that drive engagement and conversions without undermining consumer privacy.

The Crossing Minds platform does not require personal user data, using the most advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technology available today to provide relevant recommendations and personalized experiences for customers by analyzing on-site actions. Businesses using the platform see an average increase of 96% in sales and 120% in click-through rates.

“As we aim to make commerce better for everyone, our strategic investment in Crossing Minds will further provide merchants with a unique solution to provide relevant product recommendations and personalized experiences to meet customer’s evolving needs,”

“Crossing Minds is leading the future of recommendation and personalization through best-in-class AI that will ultimately enable Shopify merchants to build stronger relationships with their customers.”

Fjolla Bakalli, Manager of Corporate Development and Strategic Initiatives, Shopify.
