The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

  • Static merchandising rules were under-performing on PDP and cart pages across five global storefronts.
  • Each brand ran a different theme architecture — GUESS, rag & bone, Beach Riot, Bombshell, and Miss Me — and needed one consistent AI recommendation layer.
  • Widgets had to feel native to each brand, respect editorial merchandising, and load without harming Core Web Vitals.
The Approach

How it was built.

01

Metafields → JSON pipeline

Modelled product attributes, badges, and merchandising signals in Shopify metafields and exposed them as structured JSON so the AI engine consumed one clean, comparable schema across every storefront.

02

Liquid + JS integration

Built performance-safe Liquid sections and vanilla JS controllers that sync AI recommendations with each brand's PDP, cart drawer, quick view, and complete-the-look modules.

03

Performance-first delivery

Lazy-loaded rails with skeleton states, deferred third-party JS, image priority hints, and edge-cached responses so Lighthouse and LCP stayed green after every rollout.
