LimeSpot sells two Shopify App Store products, LimeSpot Turbo and LimeSpot Max, for on-site and cross-channel merchandising personalization. What decides whether it suits you is which product fits your store: Turbo is a free-to-low-cost option metered by monthly orders, while Max is the full personalization suite priced on a revenue-based sliding scale starting at $50 a month.
What is LimeSpot?
LimeSpot was founded in 2013 and is based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. LimeSpot Max works with Shopify, including Shopify Plus, and BigCommerce, including Multi Storefront for enterprise; LimeSpot Turbo is available exclusively for non-Plus Shopify merchants. Both products are listed in the Shopify App Store, and LimeSpot Max is also in the BigCommerce Marketplace.
What LimeSpot puts in front of shoppers
LimeSpot's recommendation engine analyzes customer behavior in real time to generate product recommendations, manual and automatic cross-sells and upsells, and manual merchandising rules by product or collection. Manual and automatic bundles are available, including a discounted bundle option, and post-purchase offers on the thank-you page cover tiered discounts, BOGO, subscriptions and timers. Smart Collections and Personalized Collections sort and filter a store's collections differently for each audience segment.
Hero Image Personalization and Smart Images adapt a store's hero sections, headlines, calls to action and other images by audience segment, and Customer Segmentation groups shoppers automatically by behavior, preferences and value. Advanced A/B Testing runs multi-variate tests with statistical significance and confidence tracking. Product recommendations also appear in email and SMS, based on customer interactions, abandoned carts and purchase history, and Live Widgets refresh that content each time a message is reopened. LimeSpot's discount engine adjusts discount percentages in real time based on customer behavior and inventory, and the platform reports attribution and revenue breakdowns for its recommendations.
Integrations and setup
LimeSpot Max works with Shopify, Shopify Plus and BigCommerce, including Multi Storefront; LimeSpot Turbo works only with non-Plus Shopify stores. Both are listed in the Shopify App Store, and Max is also in the BigCommerce Marketplace. LimeSpot integrates with a long list of named apps, among them Klaviyo, Attentive, Yotpo, Okendo, Recharge, Smile.io, LoyaltyLion, Searchanise, PageFly, Shogun and Malomo. LimeSpot Max includes free setup, onboarding and customization, with its support team reviewing a store before it goes live. LimeSpot also offers a free browser extension called Growth Grader, currently distributed as a direct download rather than through a browser web store.
LimeSpot pricing: what each plan gives
LimeSpot Turbo is free for up to 10 orders a month; standard Turbo fees apply above that, and a free tier is available for development stores. Turbo is not compatible with Shopify Plus. The paid Turbo step starts at $9.99 a month, and the fee rises with order count, for example to $19.99 a month above 250 orders.
LimeSpot Max starts at $50 a month for up to $15,000 in store revenue over 30 days from the Online Store channel, and the price rises with revenue, for example to $150 a month at up to $50,000 in revenue over 30 days; the top published step, for stores with $5,000,000 or more in revenue, is quoted on request. There is no setup fee and no long-term contract for LimeSpot Max, and both products carry a 15-day free trial.
Privacy and security
LimeSpot is GDPR compliant. LimeSpot may use transaction information and customer-provided data to improve its services, products and features. Support runs through email and, for LimeSpot Max customers, a dedicated account manager.
Who LimeSpot suits
LimeSpot suits a Shopify or BigCommerce store that wants on-site and cross-channel merchandising personalization together, recommendations, bundles, post-purchase offers, personalized collections and images, segmentation and A/B testing under one vendor. A very small Shopify store can start on Turbo for free, up to 10 orders a month, before its fee applies.
It suits less well a Shopify Plus store looking for the free Turbo tier, since Turbo does not work on Shopify Plus, or a merchant who wants a flat monthly price, since LimeSpot Max's fee moves with the store's own revenue.
