What It Is

Before You Go is a product discovery recovery tool for Shopify and Shopware. Instead of using traditional exit-intent popups, it renders a full-page personalized product recommendation experience directly inside the store’s native theme when a visitor is on a product page and clicks the browser’s back button. The goal is to help shoppers discover alternative products that may be a better fit.

Core Capabilities

Its detection logic focuses on the “real back button” rather than predictive signals such as mouse exit, time on page, or scroll speed. The recovery page inherits the store’s header, footer, fonts, currency, and language, making it feel closer to an automatically generated collection page. Recommendations are based on co-browsing, co-clicking, co-purchasing, and purchases by similar visitors, with fallback to popularity and transformer-based content similarity when data is sparse. Attribution is also conservative: recovered revenue is counted only when a visitor clicks a recommendation on the recovery page and places an order in the same session.

Pricing and Fees

Pricing uses a fixed subscription model with no commission, revenue share, or setup fee. Starter is free forever and supports up to $149 in recovered revenue per month. Growth costs $29/month or $299/year, with a cap of $2,499. Enterprise costs $99/month or $999/year, includes unlimited recovered revenue, and adds custom landing pages, product boost/suppress controls, custom integrations, and dedicated support. Paid plans include a 7-day trial, installation does not require a credit card, and once the plan limit is reached, triggers stop for the rest of the month instead of incurring overage charges.

Pros and Cons

The main strengths are that it targets product discovery directly without relying on discounts or email capture; native theme integration reduces friction; paid traffic is not triggered by default, helping avoid disruption to already-acquired ad clicks; and the attribution rules are transparent. Limitations include that the available materials only clearly mention support for Shopify and Shopware, so other platforms are not supported; Starter and Growth have revenue caps; users with JavaScript disabled or strong privacy extensions will not see the page; and there is limited information about the team and service scale.

Who It’s For and China Access

It is best suited to independent ecommerce stores with many SKUs, plenty of substitute products, and noticeable product-page drop-off, especially brand sites that want to reduce intrusive popups. Payment method details are not disclosed, and merchant subscriptions should be handled through Shopify/Shopware billing. Mainland China access is not specified in the available information, so china_access can only be considered unknown. If access is not stable, alternatives may include in-platform product recommendation apps, exit-intent popups, or onsite personalization tools.
