Kimonix AI Collection Sorting Setup for Shopify

Kimonix sorts collections using real-time signals across sales, margin, variant-level stock, returns, reviews, and shopper behavior automatically, without a merchandiser hand-sorting products each week. Shero sets up Kimonix, configures the sorting strategy per collection, and builds the A/B test framework so the right strategy is proven by data.

Data signals Kimonix uses to sort collections automatically

Kimonix sorts collections using 100+ signals including sales velocity, margin per product, variant-level stock availability, return rates, review scores, and real-time shopper behavior. Shopify's native sorting uses a single parameter best-selling, price, or manual. Kimonix layers all of these signals simultaneously and updates the sort order automatically as data changes.

$19

Starting monthly price with a free trial

Kimonix starts at $19 per month for the Starter plan with a free trial. It is a no-code platform no developer involvement is required for ongoing merchandising changes. Karl Lagerfeld uses it across 11 Shopify headless instances.

98%

Client Retention

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. Kimonix configurations need ongoing attention as new products are added, seasonal strategies are updated, and A/B test results drive sorting rule refinements.

Shopify

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. Kimonix implementations on large catalogs requiring multi-collection strategy configuration, inventory-aware sorting, and A/B testing across product discovery require both merchandising and Shopify platform depth.

Our journey from Magento to Shopify was riddled with complexities and challenges. With a vast catalog and intricate B2B logic, we needed expertise that could navigate through these intricacies. Shero Commerce was our beacon.

What Kimonix does and when it is the right choice

Kimonix is right for Shopify brands with large catalogs where manual merchandising is slow and Shopify's native sorting does not reflect business goals like margin or variant stock. The setup involves:

  • Kimonix installation and Shopify collection catalog connection
  • Sorting strategy configuration per collection: signals, weights, and priority rules
  • Inventory-aware sorting so out-of-stock variants stop being promoted to the top
  • Margin-weighted sorting to surface high-margin products in top positions
  • A/B test setup for sorting strategy comparison across key collections
  • Personalized product recommendations for PDPs, homepages, and email (Klaviyo)

Why brands work with Shero on Kimonix setup

Kimonix installs quickly. Configuring the right signals, weights, and collection-level strategy for a large catalog is where unconfigured installs underperform. Shero maps the merchandising strategy before any sorting rules are built.

01

Sorting strategy designed for each collection before configuration begins

A fashion brand's new arrivals collection should sort differently from its sale collection. A footwear brand's hero SKUs need pinning logic that margin-weighted sorting alone does not handle. Shero documents the merchandising priorities for each collection type before building any Kimonix rules, so the automated sort reflects the brand's actual business logic rather than a generic setting.

02

Inventory-aware sorting that stops promoting out-of-stock products

Shopify's best-selling sort pushes top-sellers to the front regardless of whether they are in stock at the variant level. Kimonix tracks variant-level availability and automatically demotes products where most variants are sold out, preventing customers from clicking through to a collection page only to find the sizes they want are gone.

03

Margin-weighted sorting that balances conversion and profitability

Sorting purely by sales velocity promotes the cheapest or most-returned products to top positions. Kimonix lets brands layer in margin data so high-margin products receive a boost alongside high-converting ones, balancing revenue and profitability in the collection sort. Shero configures the margin weighting based on the brand's P&L priorities.

04

A/B testing of sorting strategies before any are applied at scale

Kimonix's built-in A/B testing lets brands split test two sorting strategies across a collection and measure the impact on conversion rate and revenue before deciding which to apply permanently. Shero sets up the A/B test framework across the brand's highest-traffic collections as part of the implementation, connecting to the broader conversion rate optimization work Shero does.

05

Personalized product recommendations connected to Klaviyo and Tapcart

Kimonix's recommendation engine delivers 1:1 personalized product suggestions on PDPs, homepages, and collection pages, and exports recommendations to Klaviyo for email campaigns and to Tapcart for mobile app surfaces. Shero configures the recommendation placement and Klaviyo export as part of the Kimonix setup.

06

Headless Shopify and Shopify Markets support for global catalogs

Kimonix adapts sorting per region for Shopify Markets, so a brand's UK collection surfaces differently from its US collection based on regional sales, inventory, and shopper behavior. For headless Shopify builds including Hydrogen, Kimonix connects through its API. Shero configures the Markets or headless integration as part of the Kimonix setup. This connects to the Shopify Plus and international expansion work Shero does.

Gen-Y Hitch PPC

GenY Hitch came to Shero Commerce in March 2026 running Meta ad sets that mixed new and returning customers together and a Google account with no product-specific campaign structure, both compounded by conversion tracking that couldn't be trusted. Within 90 days across Meta and Google Ads, Shero rebuilt the account architecture, fixed tracking, and dramatically improved performance, building a program that scales efficiently.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“
