Revenue attributed to product recommendations at Nosto merchants

Nosto has reported strong revenue impact from product recommendations and PDP personalization, but those results depend on implementation quality. Recommendation logic needs to be tuned to the catalog, segments must be based on real shopper behavior, and A/B tests should confirm which placements actually drive lift before they become permanent.

Leader

G2 Leader in eCommerce personalization and e-merchandising, Spring 2026

Nosto earned G2 Leader placement in eCommerce, e-merchandising, and eCommerce personalization in Spring 2026. It is Shopify's preferred personalization provider and holds Shopify Plus Certified App Partner status. The platform supports Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

98%

Client Retention

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. Nosto implementations require ongoing segment management, A/B test iteration, recommendation logic updates as the catalog changes, and review of AI personalization performance as behavioral data accumulates.

Shopify

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. Nosto implementations on Shopify Plus involving headless storefront integration, Hydrogen support, and cross-channel data layer setup require platform and personalization depth that goes well beyond a standard app install.

Working with Shero Commerce for the past three years has been a game changer for our B2B ecommerce business. Their expertise in website support and ecommerce strategy has significantly improved our online presence.

What Nosto does and when it is the right choice over Rebuy

Nosto is the right choice when personalization needs to become a managed growth program, not just an upsell layer. It is best suited for Shopify brands with larger catalogs, meaningful traffic, and a team ready to actively optimize the customer journey over time. Shero helps determine whether Nosto is the right investment and implements it as part of a broader CRO and merchandising strategy.

  • Set up AI product recommendations across key shopping pages
  • Build visitor segments based on behavior, device, location, and intent
  • Connect behavioral data to Klaviyo and paid media audiences
  • Configure personalized search and segment-based collection sorting
  • Create A/B tests for placements, messaging, and recommendation logic
  • Integrate Nosto with headless or Hydrogen Shopify Plus storefronts

Why brands work with Shero on Nosto setup

Nosto installed without a defined segment strategy and A/B testing framework surfaces generic recommendations that produce marginal lift. The implementation work is what determines whether the platform delivers its full value.

01

Nosto or Rebuy: the right platform for the use case

If the primary goal is increasing cart AOV and CRO through upsells, cross-sells, and post-purchase offers, Rebuy is the right choice. It is Shopify-native, less expensive, and faster to implement. If the goal is to personalize the full site experience for every visitor based on behavioral data and sync that data with email and ads, Nosto is the right choice.

02

Behavioral segments defined before any personalization goes live

Nosto's personalization logic runs on segments: first-time visitors, returning customers, high-value buyers, subscribers, and custom behavioral cohorts. Personalization without defined segments applies generic logic that produces marginal improvement. Shero defines the segment strategy based on the brand's actual customer data before any Nosto configuration begins.

03

Recommendation logic tuned to the catalog, not the platform default

Nosto's default recommendation logic surfaces frequently bought together and trending products. For catalogs where margin, inventory, or product affinity matters more than popularity, custom recommendation rules produce better outcomes. Shero configures recommendation logic around the catalog's commercial priorities as part of the implementation.

04

Dynamic content blocks that show different experiences to different segments

Nosto's content personalization serves different homepage banners, promotional messages, and collection page content to different visitor segments without developer involvement. A returning high-value customer sees a loyalty offer. A first-time visitor from a paid campaign sees a welcome discount. Shero builds the content personalization layer alongside the recommendation setup, so both are operational at launch.

05

A/B testing framework in place before personalization goes live

Nosto's A/B testing measures whether personalized experiences outperform the control across conversion rate and revenue per session. Testing requires a control group established before Nosto goes live. Shero builds the testing framework at setup so the implementation generates evidence from the first session rather than requiring a retrofit when the brand wants to report on ROI.

06

Nosto segments connected to Klaviyo and ad platforms

Nosto's behavioral segments are most valuable when they flow outside the storefront. Shero connects Nosto to Klaviyo and ad platforms so high-value buyers, lapsed customers, and subscriber cohorts trigger the right email flows and paid audiences without building a separate data layer from scratch.

Invisible Bead Extensions®

Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat — this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better — it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“
