Because Content Types: The TLDR Version

The Because app allows you to use various content types, such as banners, badges, image replacements, top bars, text blocks, and product recommendations, to create a personalized shopping experience.

Each content type is designed to blend seamlessly with your site’s styling and can be dynamically triggered based on customer behavior and data from Klaviyo.
