Setup in detail

Accept the agreement. Install OB Session from the Shopify App Store and accept the service agreement, the data processing agreement and the privacy policy. All three are public.

Approve billing. There is no base fee and no monthly minimum. You approve a usage plan on Shopify's own billing page: a share of the revenue attributed to recommendations. Billing starts once recommendations reach your shoppers.

Enable the app embed. Open the theme editor from the app. The embed is already switched on, so you only press Save. No theme files are edited, and switching the embed off stops everything at once.

We set up your store. We prepare recommendations from your catalog and what sells in your store. It usually takes up to 15 minutes, and you don't need to keep the page open.

You stay in control. Switch widgets and collection pages on or off at any time.

After setup, in detail

Recommendation widgets work right away. If your theme isn't supported yet, they start in a basic design that looks fine on most themes. A widget tailored to your theme arrives within a few days and switches over on its own.

With the tailored widget in place you can switch on collection pages. Your grid and cards stay the same; only the product order adapts to each shopper. You can choose all collections or specific ones.

Recommendations start on a model built from your catalog and what sells in your store. As shopper data comes in, we may train a model specifically for your store. There is nothing to do on your side.

You can turn widgets and collection pages on or off from the dashboard at any time, and see the revenue attributed to recommendations in Analytics.

How billing works

You pay a share of the revenue attributed to ob.session recommendations, graduated per 30-day cycle: 4% on the first $10,000, 3% from $10,000 to $100,000, and 2% above $100,000. Each rate applies only to the revenue inside its tier.

A sale is attributed only when the shopper adds a product to the cart from a recommendation, or from the product page reached by clicking one. Anything the shopper finds through your navigation, search or ads is never attributed, even if a recommendation was visible on the page.
