Product Discovery

The process by which shoppers find and encounter products they want to buy, through browsing, search, or recommendations.

Product discovery is the customer journey of finding products worth purchasing. It happens through multiple channels: browsing collection pages, using on-site search, following recommendations, clicking ads, and organic search results. In e-commerce, product discovery is the digital equivalent of walking through a physical store and noticing items on shelves. Collections play a central role in product discovery — they create curated browsing paths that help shoppers find products they didn't know they wanted. Well-organized collections increase the number of products a customer views per session, which directly correlates with higher conversion rates and average order values. Poor product discovery means customers only see a fraction of your catalog and miss products they would have loved.

Examples

  • 1A customer browsing 'New Arrivals' discovers a product they hadn't seen through search
  • 2AI-curated 'Trending Now' collection exposing customers to popular products they didn't know about
  • 3Cross-selling via related collections: 'Customers who liked this collection also browsed...'
