How it decides

You set the goal. Releva decides for each shopper, and proves the lift.

What each shopper sees in search, pages, chat and messages, and who joins your ad audiences, scored against one goal.

  • One goal behind every action
  • Your caps, consent and rules apply
  • Holdout read in your Shopify or GA4
  • If the holdout shows no added orders in 30 days, you don't pay

The loop

Seven steps, running for every visitor

1

Capture

Every visit, server-side, including anonymous visitors and their ad clicks.

2

Remember

One profile per person across devices; segments refresh every 10 to 30 minutes.

3

Predict

Intent, the next purchase and 12-month value, per person.

4

Decide

Which products, message, channel and moment, per person. Or nothing.

5

Act

Search, product blocks, chat, messages, ad audiences.

6

Measure

Your own orders, against a holdout group.

7

Learn

What worked feeds back into each profile and placement.

One score

Orders and customer value, not clicks

Each possible action gets one score: how much it is predicted to add to the customer's future value. A click that leads to no order is worth nothing. Two predictions feed the score: what each shopper is likely to buy next, and their likely spend over the next year, checked monthly against orders.

Check the lift in your own store data

Attributed revenue is an argument. A holdout is evidence. A share of visitors never sees Releva, and revenue per visitor is compared in your own data, with every attributed order counted once and downloadable with its clicks.

The window alone can move the number: at one retailer in July 2026, a conservative window reported 31% less attributed revenue than a permissive one on the same orders (how much the window changes the number).

Questions about how it decides

How does Releva decide what each shopper sees?

It scores each shopper and each option against the goal you set. A predicted-value score, self-learning tests on every placement and a next-best-action model pick the search order, products, banner, message and channel. All of it stays within your rules, frequency caps and consent settings.

Should recommendations optimize for clicks or for sales?

For the goal you choose. Engagement is not the goal: showing everyone the same thing can win clicks and still lose sales. Releva lets you choose conversions, bigger baskets or long-term customer value, then decides per person toward it.

Is it really autonomous?

Yes, within the goal and rules you set. Inside those, it decides per person without anyone writing a rule for each case.

What is a holdout group, and how big should it be?

A share of visitors who don't get the agent. Comparing revenue per visitor between the two groups shows what the agent added. Releva sets holdouts up automatically at the size you choose: a bigger holdout gives a faster, surer read but holds more visitors back.
