How it sells itself

Turn a standard Shopify theme into a more engaging and feature-rich storefront without replacing your existing theme. Add premium-style sections and conversion features only where you need them, then customize everything directly through Shopify's theme editor. CRO Sections helps merchants enhance their storefront with ready-made functionality while keeping their current theme and familiar Shopify workflow.

Growcado personalises your storefront for every visitor based on who they are and where they come from. Whether you focus on AOV, engagement, or repeat orders, Growcado adapts to your priorities. Build audiences by purchase history, cart, products, location, UTM and more. Design it all in one place. Personalised elements sit in your theme editor. No code, no theme changes.

Key points
  • Add premium, conversion-focused sections without replacing your theme
  • Activate only the sections your store needs
  • Customize every section in Shopify’s theme editor
  • Add product, trust, video, comparison, and merchandising sections
  • Target every visitor with 50+ variables: behavior, location, interests, source.
  • Launch personalised experiences in minutes, not months using no-code builder.
  • Formula and conditional logic that adapts content to each visitor.
  • AI agents that generate and refine personalised copy for any segment or visitor.
