Platform

OroCommerce integration ships

Composer-installable Symfony bundle for OroCommerce. REST proxies for recommendations and substitutions, admin datagrids for Opportunities, Substitutions, and Jobs, system configuration, and Stripe webhook tier mapping. Hosted-thin-client architecture: the mining engine runs on the MBA hosted backend; the Oro module is a thin wrapper. B2B-first positioning, with RFQ pre-fill via QuoteBundleProposer and reorder predictions for repeat-customer ordering.

Platform

BigCommerce reaches feature parity with Shopify

Closed the platform gap: Sentry observability, /healthz endpoint, ai_catalog cold-start mining engine, inventory and price enrichment on /recommendations, storefront FBT widget via the BigCommerce Scripts API, and customer-facing Bundle Builder. BigCommerce is now feature-equivalent to Shopify for engine coverage, observability, and storefront integration.

Pricing

Cross-platform Stripe webhook to Pro tier mapping

WooCommerce and Magento now support seamless Pro tier activation via Stripe subscription. Subscribe through Stripe-hosted checkout and the plugin activates Pro automatically, no more manual license-key paste from receipts. HMAC-SHA256 signature verification, 5-minute replay tolerance, Pro-wins-on-conflict for multi-item subscriptions. WooCommerce ships with 18 unit tests; Magento ships with 9. Both green.

MCP tool

find_substitutes lands on Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento

Substitution engine ships as a first-class MCP tool. Given an OOS or unavailable SKU, returns a ranked list of replacements with similarity scores and reason codes (context_similar, category_match, vendor_match). Built for B2B procurement agents resolving unavailable SKUs without escalating to a human.

MCP tool

propose_subscription_bundle ships

Given a customer ID, proposes a recurring subscription kit tuned to their predicted reorder cadence. Pairs with predict_reorder. Built for supplement, beauty, and CPG verticals where the LTV comes from converting one-off carts into stacks-plus-subscription.

Feed export

Google Merchant Center substitute_feed export

Exports MBA's mined substitution rules into a Google Merchant Center compatible feed (substitutes column on the product feed). Google's UCP + AP2 protocol expects structured substitutes data; we now ship it.

Bundle UX

BundleBuilder, customer-customizable bundles

Storefront UI primitive that lets shoppers swap bundle components in-flight (small instead of medium, vanilla instead of chocolate) while keeping bundle pricing intact. Closes the Amplify / PickyStory bundle-builder gap.

Bundle UX

Post-purchase / thank-you-page upsell surface (Shopify)

Captures the post-purchase moment with a one-click upsell offer rendered on the Shopify thank-you page. Recommendations come from the same mining layer as PDP cross-sells, so the data is consistent. Closes the Upsell.com / ReConvert / AfterSell surface gap.

B2B

propose_quote_bundle MCP tool + Adobe Commerce B2B integration

Given the seed SKUs in an RFQ or requisition, returns a fleshed-out bundle proposal with cohesion score plus complementary line items. Hooks into Magento + Adobe Commerce B2B's RequisitionList workflow so buyer-side agents get structured answers instead of escalating to a human salesperson.

Feed export

Five new feed exports land

Recommendations.csv, substitutes.csv, bundles.csv, opportunities.csv, and rules.csv. Operators can pull the full rules layer into BI tooling (Looker, Tableau, Metabase, dbt). Used by mid-market merchants who want recommendation analytics in their warehouse.

MCP tool

predict_reorder ships on Shopify

Given a customer ID, returns predicted next-purchase dates per product. Built for reorder-reminder agents and subscription-cadence pre-population. WooCommerce + Magento ports in flight.

MCP tool

analyze_basket + score_cross_sell ship

Insight Agent tools. analyze_basket returns cohesion analysis for an arbitrary multi-SKU cart. score_cross_sell scores a proposed cross-sell against the current basket. Used by merchandiser-facing dashboards and by agents building bundle proposals.

MCP tool

get_bundle_for_cart ships

Given a multi-item cart, returns the products most likely to complete a high-confidence kit. Aggregates per-product recommendations by 'pairs with multiple cart items times average confidence.' First Bundle Agent tool.

Engine

ai_catalog engine lands (cold-start solver)

LLM-driven catalog miner using a BYO Anthropic or OpenAI key. Solves the cold-start problem for stores with no order history yet. Reasons over catalog metadata to seed plausible accessory + complement pairings. Disabled by default.

Read the docs
Engine

HUI (High-Utility Itemset) engine ships

Revenue-weighted mining engine. Ranks rules by profit contribution, not raw co-purchase frequency. Critical for verticals where high-margin accessories matter more than low-margin core SKUs (equipment + accessories, beauty finishers, home decor accents).

Read the docs
Engine

fp_growth engine ships

FP-Growth mining algorithm. Better at long-tail catalog mining than sql_pairs, especially on catalogs with 10K+ SKUs and moderate order volume. Free tier on WooCommerce; included in Pro on all platforms.

Read the docs
Engine

sql_pairs engine ships

First deterministic mining engine. Pure SQL co-purchase rule extraction with support, confidence, and lift columns. Free tier on WooCommerce. The baseline every other engine is benchmarked against.
