VERDICT

Should I use Shogun: Ecommerce Optimization and Personalization?

Grow your business with a comprehensive suite of optimization, personalization, and visual merchandising tools built for ecommerce. - getshogun.com

Depends. Buy if you run an established Shopify or BigCommerce store and are serious about conversion testing and personalization. Small or new stores should stay on the native theme editor until revenue justifies $39+/mo.
