Depict vs Rebuy: A Better Choice for Fashion Collection Pages

Why Fashion Brands Need an Alternative to Rebuy

Rebuy has positioned itself as "The Most Intelligent Shopping Experiences on the Planet," focusing on AI-powered personalization throughout the customer journey, with particular emphasis on cart, checkout, and post-purchase interactions. While Rebuy excels in these areas, fashion and lifestyle brands often find themselves needing more specialized solutions for the critical discovery phase of the shopping experience.

If you're a fashion ecommerce manager looking for a solution that better addresses your unique merchandising and discovery needs, Depict offers several compelling advantages worth considering.

Key Differences: Depict vs Rebuy

While both platforms aim to improve the shopping experience and boost conversions, there are fundamental differences in their focus and approach:

Visual Merchandising Capabilities

For fashion brands, the visual presentation of products is crucial to both brand identity and conversion rates. This is where Depict truly shines compared to Rebuy.

Depict's Fashion-First Approach

Depict was built from the ground up with fashion merchandising in mind. Our visual UI enables merchandisers to:

• Content Cards: Seamlessly integrate custom-size images, videos, and Instagram posts directly into collection pages
• Image Selector: Choose the perfect product image view (front, back, detail) for each collection context
• Duplicate Products: Feature the same product in multiple positions with different images to tell a complete style story
• Visual Storytelling: Build narrative-driven collection pages that showcase your brand identity while driving conversions

Rebuy's Post-Purchase Focus

While Rebuy offers strong personalization capabilities, they're primarily focused on the cart and post-purchase experience rather than collection page merchandising:

• Limited collection page visual merchandising tools
• Less emphasis on brand storytelling through visual presentation
• Fewer options for creating visually compelling collection narratives
• Primary focus on cart and checkout rather than discovery phase

Discovery vs Post-Purchase: Different Parts of the Journey

Understanding where each platform excels helps fashion ecommerce managers make the right choice for their specific needs.

Depict: Excelling at the Discovery Phase

Depict specializes in the critical discovery phase where fashion customers make their initial product decisions:

• Fashion-First Visual UI: Creates compelling collection pages that showcase your products in their best light
• LLM-Powered "Agentic" Search: Acts like an in-store sales associate who truly understands fashion terminology and context
• Deep Contextual Understanding: Comprehends style, color, fit, and theme attributes contextually, not just through manual tagging
• Brand Storytelling: Enables narrative-driven collection pages that reflect your brand identity

Rebuy: Focused on Cart and Post-Purchase

Rebuy excels at cart and post-purchase personalization:

• Strong focus on cart and checkout experiences
• Post-purchase engagement tools and upsells
• One-click upsell functionality
• Re-Order Landing Pages and Smart Links

Ease of Implementation

Getting your merchandising solution up and running quickly is crucial for fashion retailers, especially with seasonal collections and frequent inventory changes.

Rebuy: Quick for Post-Purchase, Less for Discovery

Customer Success Stories

Here's what fashion brands have to say about their experience with Depict:

"Since we started using Depict, we've been able to design and launch more visually appealing and dynamic collection pages, thanks to the intuitive content card and item duplication features. The ability to choose different image views for each collection page has been incredibly valuable, allowing us to present products in varied ways that have boosted conversions on specific items." - Nanushka (UK)
