Introduction
Justuno employs AI for a variety of tasks: to optimize our product suggestions with more Intelligent Visitor Profiles, catalog statistics, and its own ongoing track record to display 1-to-1 personalized product Upsell and Cross-sell promotions.
Justuno's Intelligent Visitor Profiles are a by-product of our core visitor intelligence technology; they store hundreds of data points for each website visitor. Justuno uses these profiles in conjunction with targeting rules and personalization to increase visitor conversions. This article will show you how to sync the data from your online store to the Justuno Commerce AI engine and how to apply the Commerce AI layer to a Justuno promotion.
Initial Commerce AI Setup
1. After installing Justuno on your platform, go to the Plus section, and click on Commerce AI. Click the green Activate button.
2. Select your platform. Currently, we only support Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, and WordPress/Woocommerce.
3. Wait for your store's Products, Orders, and Customers to sync into the Justuno AI engine.
Note: All items in your inventory will be synced but a draft, disabled, deleted items will not be shown.
4. Start drafting Commerce AI rules by pressing the green Create Rule button.
5. Fill out the modal in order to create a new rule based on four main algorithms: Upsell, Cross-sell, Most Viewed, and Most-Purchased. These algorithms will ultimately determine what the Commerce layer will display when fired; you can also add filters to achieve a more granular level.
More information about each rule and option can be found here.

Key Features
What does our AI logic control and what will it show to customers: It depends on whether upsell or cross-sell is selected in the layer. We cannot yet filter based on “shade”, for example, though the next iteration will include filters to solve this.
A. If a visitor is brand new and on the homepage, will show the best sellers?
-It won’t show the same product as in a cart or what the customer is looking at
B. What’s the difference between up-sell and cross-sell?
- Up-sell: will show you other shirts if you’re looking at a certain shirt, does not really look at ticket value. Shows the same category of the item
2. Cross-sell: buy a Burton snowboard, get Burton bindings
C. What if a product is out of stock?
- We will not show a product in the recommendations only if there are 0 variants of it left in stock. We check inventory once a day (middle of the night), and will likely increase that frequency soon
D. Is conversion rate the only metric we are monitoring?
- No, also observing behavior, whether up-sell or cross-sell is selected, and best sellers
E. Could I set up multiple AI promotions targeting certain products?
- No need to at this point since we’re showing product recommendations based on what the visitor is browsing/has in their cart.
F. If I have multiple price variants on one item what price will it show?
- Total price shown is based off the lowest combination of variants that are in stock.
