Shopper friction intelligence for Shopify

Find the question that stops shoppers buying.

Hesio watches consented shopping journeys for the moments people hesitate, then names the question most likely in the way - delivery, price, trust or choice - and shows how confident it is.

Hesio is about knowing, not guessing. It quietly watches consented shopping journeys for the moments people hesitate - and tells you which question stood between browsing and buying, before you change a single thing.

How it works

From signal to suggested test

Every insight shows its evidence and how strong it is - before anything changes on your store.

  1. Signal

    Behaviour Hesio observed, before any interpretation.

    Shipping info reopened

    Opened three times, then back to the cart and out.

    Behaviour Hesio observed
    01
  2. Confidence

    How much evidence stands behind the pattern.

    High 31 of 46 sessions

    Enough consistent signals to call it a pattern, not noise.

    Low confidence stays “collect more data”
    02
  3. Meaning

    The question those signals most likely point to.

    Delivery uncertainty

    Shoppers want to know when it arrives before they commit.

    A likely question, not a proven motive

  4. Suggested test

    What to try, and only once the pattern holds.

Four views, one question: what stopped them?

Every number in the app traces back to a consented session Hesio actually observed. Nothing is modelled, nothing is filled in, and anything too thin to mean something says so.

Sessions grouped by the hesitation their signals support

Delivery, price, trust or product choice - each with a share, a session count and a confidence level. Whatever the signals do not carry stays unclassified instead of becoming a guess.

Friction patterns

Hesitation has four shapes.

Almost every shopper who leaves had one unanswered question. Hesio groups sessions by the shape their signals actually support, and leaves anything unclear unclassified rather than guessing. Pick one to see a session behind it.

The first week

Confidence is earned, not assumed.

Installing takes minutes. Understanding takes about a week, because a pattern has to separate itself from noise before Hesio will put a name on it.

  1. Day 0

    You connect

    Authorize Hesio in Shopify and see every permission before you approve it. No theme edits - it installs through the Web Pixels API.

  2. Day 1

    Signals start arriving

    Consented sessions begin landing. Your shoppers see nothing different, because nothing on your storefront has changed.

  3. Day 3

    Shapes separate from noise

    Patterns with enough sessions behind them get a confidence level. Anything thinner stays “collect more data” rather than becoming a headline.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on cost, data, and what Hesio does and does not change on your storefront.

Something not covered here? hello@oxtren.com

What does Hesio cost?

Observation is $0 and stays $0 - 1,000 sessions a month, the four patterns and a weekly report. Insight is $19 a month and adds product signals, emailed PDF reports and previews in your theme. Assist is $49 and is the only level where anything reaches a shopper. Both paid plans start with a 14-day free trial. You change level inside Shopify, and nothing upgrades itself.

Will it slow down my store?

No. Hesio runs through Shopify’s Web Pixels API in a sandboxed worker, outside your theme. No theme code edits and no render-blocking scripts.

Does Hesio change what my shoppers see?

Not during observation. Assistance cards exist only as previews in your own admin. Nothing reaches a shopper until you review the text, approve it and start a controlled test.

What data do you actually store?

Pseudonymous visitor IDs scoped to your store, plus the page and event types a session touched. No emails, names, addresses, IP identifiers or search text. URL queries and checkout paths are redacted before they reach us.

Why is observation free?

Because telling you what happened is the part we are most confident about, and the part that costs us least. You should not pay to find out whether Hesio sees anything in your store. You pay when it starts doing something about it.

Are the numbers on this page real?

The weekly report screenshot is the real report screen from the app, filled with a demonstration store’s data. The charts elsewhere on this page illustrate the shape of the answer rather than any one store’s results. Your own numbers arrive after 24–72 hours of shopper activity.

When will I see something useful?

An initial picture after 24–72 hours. A baseline worth acting on takes about seven days, because a pattern needs enough sessions to separate itself from noise.

Can Hesio tell me why a shopper left?

It tells you the most likely question they had, with a confidence level. Signals point to a question, not a proven motive - unclear sessions stay unclassified rather than getting a guess. That is deliberate: a confident wrong answer is worse than an honest “collect more data”.

What happens if I uninstall?

Collection stops the same day and billing stops with it. You can export everything Hesio has gathered before you go, and we delete your store’s data within 30 days.

How does installation work?

Install from the Shopify App Store. Shopify shows you every permission before you authorize anything, the observation embed goes on through the Web Pixels API, and there are no theme code edits. You are on Observation from the first session.

Start with a free week

See your store through your shoppers’ questions.

One week of observation, free, and nothing changes on your storefront. By day seven you’ll know which question is costing you the most, and whether it is worth answering.
