🎯 Overview

Rebuy’s Cart & Merchandising products—including Smart Cart, Product Recommendations, Bundle Builder, Pop‑Ups, and Dynamic Offers—enables you to create targeted, high-impact shopping experiences that maximize return on ad spend (ROAS).

By aligning offers with visitor intent and campaign source, these strategies help convert paid traffic more effectively, reduce wastage, and amplify conversion funnels for long-term profitability.


🛒 1. Elevate Smart Cart to Boost ROAS

Turn ad-driven traffic into paying customers with conversion-optimized Smart Cart features:

  • In‑Cart Product Recommendations: Leverage AI-powered or rule based product recommendations that complement cart contents and prevent drop-off. Consider URL/UTM Rules to tailor the recommendations and messaging to the traffic source.

Example Smart Cart With Conversion Boosting Functionality

PRO TIP: Boost your ad campaign ROI by A/B testing different cart configurations—progress bar thresholds, recommendation logic, and checkout options—to see what resonates most with paid traffic.


🛍️ 2. Optimize On-Site for Paid Traffic Conversions

Ensure your ads lead to high-converting pages across PDPs, collection, and home pages.

PRO TIP: Use URL rules in the recommendation logic (Data Sources) to personalize offers based on the traffic source / paid campaign.

  • Product Detail Pages (Best Practices):

    • Use Product Add‑On and/or “Complete the Look” widgets near the Add‑to‑Cart button to increase average order size.

    • Include dynamic bundles to reinforce value, simplify decision making, and encourage larger basket sizes.

    • Add pop‑up upsells to capture upsell opportunities.

    • Add exit-intent pop ups that trigger special offers to reduce bounce rate and improve the efficacy of your paid media campaigns

  • Collection Pages (Best Practices):

    • Insert Rebuy recommendation carousels on collection pages that show visitors both recently viewed items and top sellers to reinforce purchase intent.

    • Implement URL-rule-based content (e.g., for a summer sale campaign) to match messaging with ad copy.

  • Home Page (Best Practices):

    • Use dynamic language and UTM-based rules to reinforce the advertised offer and maintain consistency.

    • For visitors coming from retargeting campaigns, show recently viewed products encouraging visitors to “Pick up where you left off”

Recommendation: Deploy 2–3 flagship widgets per page to capture visitor interest at multiple stages.

🎁 3. Trigger Pop‑Ups to Capture Paid-Traffic Conversions

Use strategic pop‑ups to convert traffic that’s about to bounce or hasn’t converted yet:

  • Exit‑Intent Pop‑Ups: Recover high-intent visitors by offering upfront discounts or dynamic bundles before they bounce.

  • URL‑Based Pop‑Ups: Show campaign-specific offers—like 15% off to ad-sourced visitors, or a special offer from an influencer—by triggering pop‑ups when campaign parameters are detected.

  • Add-to-cart Triggered Pop-Ups: Trigger pop ups that cross sell complementary products or Upsell to a higher value product.

PRO TIP: A/B test pop-up triggers, messaging, and incentive types to find the highest converting combinations.


📈 ROAS Strategies & Use Cases

  • URL Rule Campaign Targeting: Customize content—widget messages, pop‑ups, bundle offers—based on traffic source using UTM rules.

    • Identify your top influencers and craft offers specific to the products they promote

    • If your paid ads are promoting a discount code, display that discount code prominently in Rebuy widgets to improve conversion rates

    • Offer gift with purchase to specific traffic sources for new customers to improve profitability on first order

  • Customer Segment Rules: Tailor offers to first-time vs returning paid traffic using Klaviyo segments or customer tags.
