Layers provides search, visual discovery, and merchandising control for Shopify Plus.
Overview
Layers sells an AI search, merchandising, visual discovery and product recommendations platform for Shopify Plus stores. It replaces the storefront search box, collection page sort order, recommendation widgets and merchandising controls with one system. A merchandising team can run it without engineering support.
For Shopify brands
- Merchandisers can pin products, schedule campaign rules, set ranking signal weights and sort collections by revenue, margin or sell-through without engineering support.
- Search interprets typos, abbreviations and natural-language queries without synonym lists, and shoppers can search from a photo.

How it works
