Why High-Growth Shopify Brands Choose Helium

Rebuy Optimises Surfaces.
Helium Optimises the Entire Session.

Rebuy is strong at improving AOV and CVR on specific surfaces like cart, upsells, checkout, and post purchase. Helium operates at a broader level. It reads session quality in real time and acts across collections, recommendations, catalog, ad audiences, and attribution, all from one platform. Here is what that difference looks like in practice.

🏠

Adaptive Storefront

Rebuy adds smart widgets to your store. Helium reshapes the entire storefront. AI contextualised landing pages adapt content, messaging, visuals, and product positioning on the same URL based on live shopper intent. No static pages, no developer needed. Every visitor sees a store built for them.


Session Intelligence That Acts, Not Just Reports

Helium captures live session signals, browsing patterns, price sensitivity, intent, and location. It uses them to reorder collections, improve recommendations, and send high intent audiences to Meta and Google. Rebuy optimises the basket. Helium optimises what shoppers see before the basket opens.


🗂️

Collection Merchandising That Adapts to Each Visitor

Rebuy’s Smart Collections offer strong manual controls like scheduling, sorting rules, promos, and out of stock handling. Helium goes further. Collections reorder by location, user traits, and live intent, with persona led curation, sub-collection logic, and built in actions like Preview, Generate, and Reorder.


🛒

Context-Led Recommendations That Go Beyond the Cart

Helium delivers context driven recommendations using AI, with cross sells, cart and catalog optimisation, collection level suggestions, and persona led sorting based on where the shopper is in their decision.


📊

Analytics With Root-Cause Depth

Helium goes beyond surface level analytics with real time insights beyond GA4, a Data Agent, Report Builder, full attribution, funnel analysis, and AI driven recommendations. When CVR or ROAS shifts, it explains why and shows what to do next.


🧩

One Console for Your Entire Growth Team

Rebuy is built for merchandising within a single toolset. Helium is a multi role console, with dedicated views for Data, CRO, Ads, Content, Support, Dev, and more. Each team gets what they need in one platform, with no silos.
