Know your best customers and where they came from.
We score every new customer at checkout from verified purchases across premium fashion. Your team hears about each VIC order as it lands, along with the campaign that brought them.

Purchase history
Our scores come from real purchases.
Croissant members connect Gmail to get a guaranteed resale price on what they own, and brands share their order histories. Together they are a record of how people buy premium fashion across brands, and Optimize scores your new customers against it.
Each one is a piece a shopper bought, from order histories brands shared and receipts members connected.
The score weighs full-price buying, returns, and how deep a customer's premium history goes.
Scoring
Every VIC comes with who they are and how they shop.
Optimize scores each new customer the moment they check out. We name every VIC, meaning anyone at or above your VIC score (8.5 to start) or someone notable, and tag who they are and how they shop.

Getting started
See your own VICs the day you connect.
Optimize comes with Croissant Pay. You connect your Shopify store from the Croissant App, which starts a 30-day trial that Croissant Pay keeps going, and we score your last 60 days of orders. Then you choose who on your team gets alerts, by email or Slack.
Connect from the Croissant App
Connecting starts your 30-day trial, and Croissant Pay keeps Optimize on after it. The app reads your orders and never messages your customers.
