Constructor

Retail media is becoming a bigger part of the discovery experience. The challenge is making monetization work without compromising relevance. We’re excited that Constructor was recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Search & Product Discovery for its Retail Media platform. We believe the future of retail media belongs to platforms that balance shopper experience, relevance, and revenue growth together, not one at the expense of the others.

Shoppers are leaving keyword search behind. For years, finding the right product online meant figuring out the right combination of keywords and hoping the search engine understood what you meant. Agentic discovery turns this dynamic upside down: instead of shoppers adapting their behavior to the search box, they can now simply describe the product they are looking for naturally. As Sharon Gautschi, Chief Merchandising Officer of Rugs Direct, put it during our recent Agentic Commerce Roundtable: “Why would you just type ‘brown rug’ when you could say, ‘I want a light taupe rug that goes with my dark blue couch, and it needs to be kid and pet-friendly?’” For the next generation of shoppers, that may simply be what “search” means.

The best ecommerce experiences aren't built by one platform doing everything. They're built by bringing together the right technologies, each focused on what they do best. In this clip from our latest customer story, Shopify's Dustin Holmstrom explains why composable commerce lays the foundation for better product discovery, enabling partners like Constructor and Form Factory to focus on delivering intelligent, personalized shopping experiences while Shopify powers commerce at scale. Watch the conversation to hear how Chubbies Shorts is bringing these technologies together to create a more connected customer experience.

Black Friday doesn't just increase traffic. It changes how shoppers discover products. One of the biggest findings from our Holiday Readiness Report: During Black Friday, browsing overtakes search as shoppers increasingly explore gift guides, collections, and sale pages rather than searching for specific products. That means static merchandising and yesterday's rankings quickly become outdated. The retailers that perform best during Cyber Week aren't simply driving more traffic—they're adapting their discovery experiences as shopper behavior changes in real time.

Holiday readiness starts long before Black Friday. Our Ecommerce Holiday Readiness Report shows that shopper behavior begins shifting well before Cyber Week, with discovery journeys becoming deeper, more exploratory, and increasingly gift-focused as the season unfolds. Based on data from 45 billion shopper events, the report uncovers 9 key behavioral shifts and offers practical recommendations retailers can implement before the holiday rush. If you're planning for Q4, you'll find insights on: • Search, browse, and recommendation trends • Cart abandonment and conversion patterns • Gift-search behavior • Preparing your discovery experience for rapidly changing shopper intent Download your copy: https://okt.to/r3aMGN.

How much time does your team spend maintaining search rules? For many retailers, product discovery relies on a growing list of manual merchandising rules, synonyms, and ongoing adjustments to keep experiences relevant. In this clip, Nishant Khanduja, from Chubbies Shorts, explains how Constructor helped shift that balance by allowing AI to handle continuous optimization while giving the team the insights they needed to understand performance and make informed decisions. Watch, or read, the full customer story to see how Chubbies partnered with Shopify, Form Factory, and Constructor to build a more intelligent discovery experience.

The best online shopping experiences don't just help shoppers find products. They help them make decisions. During our recent Agentic Commerce Roundtable, Richard Spencer, Chief Digital & Technology Officer at Belk, shared how Belk is using AI to bridge the gap between the personalized service customers expect in-store and the digital experience online. Rather than creating another transactional touchpoint, the goal was to make expert guidance available whenever shoppers need it.
