Canadian e-commerce hit $60+ billion in 2025. AI is the difference between an online store that converts at 1% and one that converts at 4% — and that 3% gap can mean millions in revenue.
AI for Product Recommendations
- Collaborative filtering — "customers who bought X also bought Y"
- Content-based — AI recommends products based on browsing history and preferences
- Visual search — customers upload a photo, AI finds matching products
- Impact: AI recommendations drive 35% of Amazon's revenue
AI for Dynamic Pricing
- Market-based — AI adjusts prices based on competitor pricing in real-time
- Demand-based — AI raises or lowers prices based on demand signals
- Personalized — AI offers targeted discounts to price-sensitive shoppers
- Clearance — AI optimizes markdown timing to maximize recovery
AI for Cart Recovery
- Exit intent — AI detects when shoppers are about to leave and triggers offers
- Abandoned cart emails — AI sends personalized recovery emails with optimal timing
- Retargeting — AI shows relevant ads to shoppers who didn't complete checkout
- Impact: AI cart recovery can recapture 15-20% of abandoned carts
AI for Operations
- Inventory forecasting — AI predicts demand to prevent stockouts and overstock
- Fraud detection — AI flags suspicious orders before they ship
- Customer segmentation — AI groups customers by value, behaviour, and lifecycle stage
- Chatbot support — AI handles order status, returns, and product questions 24/7
"The online store that shows you the right product at the right price with the right incentive doesn't feel like AI — it feels like a shopkeeper who knows you."
