How long does setup take?
Updated September 14, 2026 ยท PersonalizeIQ answers
Most stores are live within a day. Setup is a JavaScript snippet on the storefront plus a catalog feed, both of which have guided flows for Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce. The engine needs a short learning window to gather behavioral data before lift shows in testing, but recommendations render from the first session using catalog similarity while profiles build.

How does PersonalizeIQ personalize a store in real time?
PersonalizeIQ builds a live profile for every visitor from the signals they give off while browsing: products viewed, filters used, price bands explored, time on category pages, and cart actions. The engine scores your catalog against that profile on every page view and reorders recommendations, swaps hero content, and tunes offers to fit the shopper. Returning visitors pick up where they left off, and anonymous visitors still get a personalized session from their first click.
What should the team evaluate?
Start with the current approach to product recommendations: same bestsellers for everyone. Compare that with the manual alternative, rule based widgets, manually tuned, and a more adaptive approach that can deliver adapt to each visitor in real time. Keep shopper clarity, team workload, and business guardrails in the decision.
How should the result be measured?
Use a randomized holdout wherever possible. Watch conversion rate, revenue per visitor, average order value, and margin together, then split results by visitor type, device, and traffic source. Decide the primary metric before the test and run long enough to cover ordinary traffic patterns.
