Product Features

What is Sortext?

Sortext is an AI-driven ecommerce conversion platform designed to transform first-time visitors into paying customers. By addressing the challenge of low conversion rates among first-time visitors, Sortext enables online businesses to double their first-time buyer conversions while increasing average order values, conversion rates, and ecommerce revenues by 15-20%.

Sortext integrates seamlessly with all ecommerce websites that support coupon code functionality and tag management systems, including universal platforms and Shopify-based web stores. Leveraging advanced AI technology, Sortext delivers personalized, time-sensitive offers without requiring technical modifications or additional investments.

How does Sortext work?

Sortext functions as an intelligent sales assistant that transforms first-time visitors into paying customers through a systematic, AI-driven approach.

  • Identify Visitor Potential: When a first-time visitor arrives at a web store, Sortext instantly evaluates their spending power and likelihood of making a purchase.

  • Track Behavior: As the visitor navigates through product pages, Sortext monitors their behavior, identifying the moment when they are likely to exit without completing a purchase.

  • Intervene Strategically: At this critical point, Sortext intervenes by presenting personalized, time-limited deals tailored to exceed the visitor’s spending capacity by 20-30%.

  • Drive Engagement and Spending: These tailored offers entice visitors to stay longer, complete their purchase, and even spend more than originally planned.

Through this seamless process, Sortext boosts conversion rates, increases average order values, and drives overall revenue growth, all without requiring technical modifications or additional investments.

How can Sortext benefit my web store?

Sortext delivers significant benefits to your web store by converting first-time visitors into paying customers, potentially doubling your initial buyer conversions. By leveraging advanced AI-driven solutions, Sortext increases average order values, boosts conversion rates, and drives ecommerce revenue growth by 15-20%.

What sets Sortext apart is its effortless implementation, requiring no technical adjustments or additional investments. This makes Sortext a powerful and cost-effective tool for enhancing your online business performance, ensuring sustainable growth with minimal effort.

What are first-time and returning visitors?

First-time visitors are individuals accessing your web store for the first time using a specific device. Each unique visit from a new device is classified as a first-time visit. In contrast, returning visitors are those who have previously interacted with your web store.

To differentiate between visits, Sortext assigns a unique user ID to each visitor, which remains valid for two years. If a visitor returns after more than two years on the same device, they are counted as a first-time visitor again. This tracking system ensures accurate segmentation and helps optimize engagement strategies for both first-time and returning visitors.

How does Sortext identify first-time and returning visitors?

Sortext identifies first-time and returning visitors by using a local cookie placed exclusively on your web store. Unlike third-party cookies that track users across multiple websites, Sortext’s cookie operates only on your site, ensuring compliance with personal data protection regulations.

When Sortext is integrated into your site, it begins tracking visitor behavior to classify them accurately. While initial visitor detection may differ slightly from platforms like Google Analytics, these variances typically resolve and align within a few weeks. This approach ensures precise visitor classification while maintaining full adherence to privacy standards.

Why is it difficult to convert first-time visitors?

Converting first-time visitors is challenging because they represent a substantial 70% of web store traffic but contribute only 20% to revenue. In contrast, returning visitors, who make up just 30% of traffic, generate 80% of ecommerce revenue.

This disparity arises from the limited data available on first-time visitors and the absence of tools designed to engage and convert them effectively. Without a tailored approach, these visitors often leave without making a purchase, making it crucial for ecommerce businesses to adopt advanced solutions like Sortext to transform first-time visitors into loyal customers.

What makes Sortext unique in converting first-time visitors?

Sortext stands out by exclusively focusing on first-time visitors, a segment that constitutes 70% of web traffic yet is often underserved by traditional ecommerce tools.

While most solutions like customer data platforms and remarketing tools are designed for returning visitors, Sortext takes an innovative, data-driven approach to engage and convert first-time visitors. By delivering intelligent, personalized, and time-sensitive offers tailored to this audience, Sortext drives significant improvements in average order values, conversion rates, and overall ecommerce revenue.

Can Sortext be used for returning visitors as well?

Yes, Sortext can be used to engage both first-time and returning visitors. By default, its AI algorithms are optimized for first-time visitors to maximize conversion opportunities.

If you wish to extend Sortext’s capabilities to returning visitors, simply let us know, and we’ll make the necessary adjustments for the Sortext Web App. For Sortext Shopify App users, this preference can be conveniently managed directly within your dashboard.

How does Sortext use spending power in its deals?

Sortext leverages advanced AI to analyze the spending power of first-time visitors as soon as they land on a web store. Using this insight, Sortext presents personalized, time-sensitive deals to visitors who are likely to leave without making a purchase.

These offers are carefully crafted to align with each visitor’s spending capacity, encouraging them to stay longer and make purchases. This strategic approach not only boosts conversion rates but also increases average order values and drives overall ecommerce revenue growth.

How does Sortext use conversion probability in its deals?

Sortext employs advanced AI to assess the conversion probability of first-time visitors in real time. As visitors browse through product pages, Sortext monitors their behavior, identifying the precise moment when their likelihood of conversion drops to zero.

At this critical point, Sortext presents personalized, time-sensitive deals designed to encourage immediate action. By targeting visitors who need an extra incentive to convert, Sortext optimizes the use of financial resources, resulting in significantly higher conversion rates and improved ecommerce revenue.

What sets Sortext apart from other solutions?

Sortext stands out with three key differentiators that make it a powerful tool for enhancing ecommerce conversions:

  • Exclusive Focus on First-Time Visitors: Unlike many solutions that primarily target returning visitors, Sortext specializes in converting first-time visitors. This segment represents a significant portion of web traffic often overlooked by traditional tools.

  • Spending Power-Driven Deals: Sortext uses advanced AI to identify the spending power of first-time visitors and presents tailored, time-sensitive deals. This personalized approach encourages higher spending and drives meaningful engagement.

  • Conversion Probability Optimization: Sortext monitors visitor behavior and strategically intervenes with offers at the moment when their conversion probability drops to zero. This ensures efficient resource allocation and maximizes deal effectiveness.

Together, these features position Sortext as a unique, data-driven solution for boosting conversion rates, average order values, and ecommerce revenue.

In both cases, Sortext strictly adheres to personal data protection regulations and ensures that no personal data from your store is accessed or processed, maintaining full compliance with privacy standards.

Does Sortext impact the loading speed of my web store?

No, Sortext does not impact your web store’s loading speed. The Sortext JavaScript code is less than 50 KB in size and runs asynchronously, meaning it operates independently of your web store and loads only after your web pages have fully loaded.

Additionally, Sortext is hosted and served by Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leading internet service provider (ISP) and content delivery network (CDN), ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Does Sortext conflict with other conversion solutions?

No, Sortext is strategically designed to complement, not conflict with, other conversion solutions. It specifically focuses on increasing the conversion rates of abandoning first-time visitors, a distinct audience segment that may not be targeted by other tools.

Sortext operates seamlessly alongside existing conversion solutions, enhancing your overall strategy without creating conflicts, contradictions, or competition. By working in harmony with other tools, Sortext contributes to maximizing your web store’s total conversion rates.
