Mason

Mason is an AI-powered automation platform designed for eCommerce storefronts. It helps online retailers increase conversions, reduce bounce rates, and personalize their storefronts without needing developers or complex integrations.

Designed for Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, Mason empowers teams to automate merchandising tasks like updating stock, changing product banners, and launching time-sensitive campaigns in minutes. At its core, Mason aims to bring operational efficiency and agility to digital merchandising teams, replacing manual storefront updates with smart workflows.

Mason is used by eCommerce brands across fashion, beauty, electronics, and other fast-moving consumer categories.

Features

Mason offers a modular set of features designed to optimize eCommerce storefronts in real time:

• Storefront Automation Workflows
  Automate product visibility, promotional banners, price changes, and callouts based on inventory levels, sales data, and customer behavior.

• Prebuilt Applets
  Choose from 100+ applets—modular mini-workflows—to automate specific tasks like “Back in Stock Alerts,” “Low Stock Callouts,” or “Flash Sales.”

• Plug & Play with Shopify
  Native integration with Shopify and Shopify Plus. You can sync product data, inventory, and pricing in minutes.

• No-Code Interface
  Mason’s visual builder allows non-technical users to create and manage workflows without writing code.

• Smart Merchandising Engine
  Automatically surfaces the right product badges, messages, and dynamic banners based on real-time events like product scarcity, trending items, or restocks.

• Performance Tracking & Insights
  Real-time analytics help you monitor workflow impact, measure conversion rates, and identify which campaigns are driving revenue.

• AI-Driven Triggers
  Set triggers based on AI-detected events such as traffic spikes, product views, or checkout abandonment.

• Segmented Targeting
  Show personalized messages to user segments such as new visitors, repeat buyers, or mobile users.

How It Works

Mason simplifies the process of automating storefront experiences through a combination of intelligent data syncing, prebuilt automation, and real-time customization. Here’s a typical workflow:

1. Connect Your Store
   Install Mason from the Shopify App Store and connect your store. Mason syncs your product catalog, inventory, and customer activity.

2. Choose or Customize Applets
   Browse a library of applets like “Sellout Countdown,” “Urgency Badges,” or “Back in Stock Banners.” Activate them with one click or customize using the no-code editor.

3. Set Triggers and Rules
   Define conditions (e.g., inventory below 5, flash sale starts at 8am, customer is on mobile) and assign the action—like showing a promotional banner or changing the product tile.

4. Publish Changes
   The changes go live instantly on your Shopify storefront, across product pages, category grids, and checkout flows.

5. Analyze Results
   Use Mason’s dashboard to view analytics such as click-through rate, conversions, revenue per visitor, and engagement on each applet or campaign.

With Mason, updates that once took hours or required developer support can now be handled in minutes by marketers and merchandisers.

Use Cases

Mason supports a wide range of real-time eCommerce optimization scenarios:

• Flash Sale Management

• Low Stock Urgency
  Display low inventory messages to encourage faster purchases when stock dips below a threshold.

• Back in Stock Alerts
  Let customers know when popular items are back, automatically updating product pages.

• Price Drop Badges
  Show badges like “Now 20% Off” based on real-time pricing updates.

• Sell-Out Warnings
  Boost FOMO by notifying shoppers when a product is selling out quickly or trending.

• Seasonal Campaigns
  Run holiday or seasonal campaigns with prebuilt workflows for themes, discounts, and time-sensitive offers.
