Maropost Merchandising Cloud is an AI-powered ecommerce merchandising platform that combines site search, category optimization, personalization, and product recommendations in one system. Its search engine ranks products using shopper behavior and intent rather than relying exclusively on exact keyword matches. Natural language understanding, autocomplete, spelling tolerance, and synonym recognition help customers find relevant products when searches contain typos, broad descriptions, or non-catalog terminology. Smart Collections dynamically reorder category pages according to product popularity, inventory levels, margins, and performance data. Merchandising teams can override automated rankings by boosting, burying, excluding, or pinning individual products for specific searches and collections. Scheduled rules can also support product launches, promotions, clearance periods, and other time-sensitive merchandising campaigns. Recommendation tools automatically display recently viewed products, frequently purchased combinations, trending items, popular products, and personalized selections across key areas of an online store. Search controls, recommendation previews, inventory visibility settings, and query redirects give business users additional control without requiring engineering changes. Merchandising Cloud connects with Shopify, BigCommerce, Neto, and Norce to synchronize catalogs and category structures while helping ecommerce teams manage search, merchandising, and recommendations from a centralized platform.
