CHICAGO, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syndigo, a global leader in Product Experience Management (PXM), today announced it has acquired Taggstar, a leading AI-powered conversion rate optimization platform for digital commerce. The strategic investment expands Syndigo’s Product Experience Cloud to include a critical piece of the digital shopper’s journey: confidence to purchase. This enables brands and retailers to increase conversions across all digital channels, including retailer ecommerce platforms and brand-owned websites.
Brands and retailers invest heavily to ensure product data is accurate, complete, compliant, enhanced, and discoverable. Yet they have mere seconds to grab attention on their product detail pages before shoppers bounce, especially on mobile devices which represent the majority of ecommerce traffic. Taggstar powers dynamic, real-time conversion messages such as “Selling fast! 50 bought in the last hour” that engage shoppers and act as virtual sales assistants, guiding them through the buying journey with timely messages that reinforce trust and inspire action. Layered onto Syndigo’s data-rich PXM solution and combined with trusted ratings and reviews from PowerReviews, messaging insights become even more powerful, amplifying content and using contextual data to create tailored messages, improving shopping experiences, and increasing conversions.
Taggstar connects to the commerce ecosystem through a lightweight JavaScript tag, making it easy to implement on eCommerce websites and native apps with a rapid speed to value. Taggstar social proof messaging can be extended across digital channels such as email, social, website, digital ads and now PXM simply using an API. Taggstar uses AI to optimize message combinations to increase conversion rates and enrich product data, enabling merchandisers to create high-performing campaigns.
“With Taggstar, we’re strengthening the product and shopping experience to include real-time trends, bestsellers, reviews and shopper context, driving higher conversion,” said Simon Angove, Chief Executive Officer at Syndigo. “Their technology brings PXM to life, making otherwise static data usable across mobile, AI, and all digital shopping experiences. We are thrilled to welcome the Taggstar team, customers, and technology to Syndigo.”
