Recommendation Engine
Content and Product Recommendation Engine
Personyze’s recommendation engine harnesses the power of AI to show each visitor exactly what they are most likely to be interested in, using predictions gleaned from your data. Keep your users clicking through until they find what they’re looking for.
Personyze Features
Combining personal and crowd wisdom
Personyze recommendations utilize each visitor’s individual interests, transaction history, demographics, as well as machine learning that harnesses crowd wisdom extracted from similar visitors, to generate highly personal recommendations.
Customizable widgets for all channels
Display widgets in Personyze are completely customizable, and come with a variety of responsive templates for vertical and horizontal displays. They can be embedded anywhere in the site, shown as popups, or embedded in emails and apps.
A recommendation for every scenario
Our recommendation engine offers tailored algorithms for every stage of the customer journey. From anonymous visitor suggestions to post-purchase cross-sells and remarketing email recommendations, we have an algorithm to meet your specific needs.
Easy integration of your data
Synchronize your product/content data automatically using our site content crawler, or use spreadsheet URL, API, or SFTP. Mapping the feed can also be automated, with our contextual algorithm that reads your content, and identifies and ranks interests/topics.

Increase sales with personalized product recommendations
Personyze’s recommendation engine analyzes each visitor’s browsing and buying behavior, combining individual interests and demographics with crowd data from similar shoppers. It then delivers highly relevant, personalized recommendations—most likely to be purchased—across sites, emails, push notifications, and apps, resulting in higher conversions, bigger order values, and stronger customer loyalty.
Product Recommendation Algorithms
Personyze offers a rich suite of product recommendation algorithms, each crafted for specific pages and customer contexts across your site, emails, or app. These algorithms maximize relevance, increase order values, and boost conversions by combining individual visitor behavior with crowd insights. On any given page, you can display multiple algorithms within the same widget or across multiple widgets. You have full control over placement and display order, and you can even combine embedded on-page recommendation widgets with floating popups—for example, an exit-intent popup prompting visitors to enter their email to receive updates when a product goes on sale or is back in stock.
Here are examples of some of the algorithms available:
Homepage
Smart Homepage Recommendations
Show the most relevant products on the homepage for both anonymous and known visitors. For anonymous users, the engine leverages signals like location, weather, referral source, ABM data, and crowd activity to recommend items they’re most likely to buy. For known visitors, recommendations are personalized based on past transactions and preferences—creating a truly dynamic entry experience.
Most Popular Products
Promote bestsellers across the site or within categories relevant to the visitor, adding social proof and discovery value.
Recommended for You
Machine learning analyzes visitor behavior and crowd data to suggest the products each shopper is most likely to buy.
Product Page
Frequently Bought Together
Cross-sell products often purchased alongside the item being viewed.
Those Who Viewed This Also Viewed/Bought
Display alternatives or complementary items based on crowd behavior, keeping visitors engaged and helping them find the right product faster.
Those Who Bought from This Category Also Bought
Highlight items from other categories frequently purchased by shoppers who bought from the same category.
Cart & Checkout
Cross-sale Cart Recommendation
On the cart page, suggest items frequently purchased together with products already in the cart.
In Your Cart / Wishlist
Keep visitors focused on their shopping journey by displaying their current cart contents or saved wishlist items for convenient navigation and reminders.
Returning Visitors
View It Again / Buy It Again
Show products a visitor has recently viewed or purchased, making it easy to pick up where they left off or reorder essentials.
Promotions & Urgency
New in Stock
Promote newly added products, customizable by recency (e.g., last 7 days, since last visit) or by visitor interests.
Recently Discounted
Feature products that just went on sale, prioritized by the shopper’s interest profile.
Email Recommendation Algorithms
Now on Sale from Past Interests / Left in Cart
Shows items that recently dropped in price, based on what the visitor previously interacted with or left in their cart.
Cart Abandonment Drip
Reminds visitors of items left in their cart and suggests similar products, sent at intervals you define.
Time to Resupply
Prompts the visitor to re-order perishable or consumable items, sent on a recurring schedule of your choice.
Most Recommended for You
Uses machine learning and crowd patterns to suggest items the visitor is most likely to be interested in.
Cross-sell Based on Last Purchase
Recommends items that others bought after the same purchase, or products that have a cross-sale association in your catalog.
Newly Listed Items / Accessories for You
Highlights newly added products that complement items previously purchased.
Send My Cart to Email Button
Lets visitors opt-in to receive their cart by email as a reminder. If their email isn’t known, it can trigger an email capture popup, which can then be used for future remarketing campaigns.
Further Fine-Tune Recommendations with Filters
- Discount thresholds (greater or less than X%)
- Product feed attributes (interest, color, brand, price, etc.)
- Location-based rules (e.g., within X miles of a distribution center = free shipping)
- Visitor demographics (gender, age, client type, industry, etc.)
- Stock level thresholds (e.g., show items with fewer than X units left)
Widget flexibility and templates
Product recommendation widgets are simple HTML, giving you the freedom to use any design you like. Personyze also provides a library of responsive templates—horizontal and vertical by default—with a visual editor to customize every detail to your brand style. Templates can optionally inherit your site’s CSS to speed up styling.
Templates include a wide range of options such as lazy-loading images, rotating multiple images on hover, displaying any product attributes from your catalog, and adding dynamic badges with logic, for example:
- New badge if the item was added in the past X days
- Recently discounted badge if the price dropped within X days
- Low stock badge if inventory falls below X units
Additional features include quick “add to cart” buttons so visitors can instantly add recommended items, save-to-wishlist directly from recommendations, multi-tab recommendation widgets, hover info cards, and more.
You also have full control over display volume—for example, setting the total number of recommended items shown, and separately configuring how many items appear per slide in a carousel or slider.
All recommendations are fully responsive and can be displayed as embedded blocks, carousels, or popups. They can also be combined with lead forms (e.g., showing cart items and asking for an email to save the cart) or countdown timers for special sales. Recommendations work seamlessly across sites, emails, and apps—using any HTML/CSS needed to achieve the exact look and feel.
Kick start with past transactions & offline data
Personyze allows you to upload past transaction data from offline purchases, physical stores, or third-party systems via file upload, feed synchronization, SFTP, or API. This enriches the recommendation engine and ensures that all available data is fully leveraged for more accurate and effective recommendations.
Uploading historical transactions can also jump-start your recommendation engine when you first sign up. For example, algorithms like cross-sell (“Those who bought this also bought”) normally require many live visitors to generate patterns. By importing past transaction data, you give the engine a rich dataset to work with immediately—delivering meaningful cross-sell and upsell recommendations from day one.
Make every recommendation feel personal
Every custom field you create—such as user location, industry, account type, or any other attribute—becomes a personalization tag that can be inserted directly into the recommendations widget or JSON recommendation set.
This allows you to dynamically tailor messaging, for example:
- Include the customer’s name in the title of their recommendations
- Display “New items from X brand” based on the last brand they viewed
- Show “Recommended for you because you purchased X in the past”
- Highlight “Most popular in City X today” based on the visitor’s location
