⭐️ TOGETHER WITH Layers*
Most Shopify Plus stores lose sales because shoppers cannot find products fast enough.
Shopify’s default search and filtering are limited once you have thousands of SKUs.
Layers helps fix product discovery on Shopify Plus:
faster, more accurate on-site search that understands intent
better collection sorting with AI-powered sort orders
visual discovery, so shoppers can find similar products from an image
no synonym spreadsheets, no manual ranking rules, less ongoing merch work
brands using Layers have reduced “no results” searches by 30 percent and cut merchandising costs
