Ingredient intelligence for skincare commerce
Qinci reads the ingredient list of every product in your Shopify store. It sees what is already in a shopper's cart, finds the routine step that is missing, and suggests the one product that pairs cleanly with what they have. Every suggestion carries a reason you can read.

Ingredient lists come from your product data; a CSV fills any gaps.
One toggle under App embeds in your theme editor. Nothing is pasted into your theme, and uninstalling removes it.
No AI guesswork and no AI bill that grows with your traffic. A fixed rule set over a curated ingredient database. The same cart always produces the same recommendation, and the arithmetic is on the page.

It will not upsell a product that clashes with the cart. When the best option still conflicts, it says so instead of hiding it. Try it yourself: paste any ingredient list into the conflict checker →
The same deterministic engine drives every place a shopper meets a recommendation, plus a developer API for everyone else.
A theme app block shows the pairing after Add to Cart and re-checks on any cart change, slide-out drawers included. It can suggest two or three products that each fill a different routine step, with one tap to add them all, an “email me this routine” capture, and prices in the shopper's own currency under Shopify Markets.
After payment, before the thank you page, a one click card adds the routine-completing product to the same order with no card details re-entered.
A short quiz builds a full morning and evening routine from your catalogue, adds the whole routine to the cart in one tap, captures the shopper's email and hands you the lead. Switch it on for your storefront on Starter and Pro.

Qinci recognises these products by their published ingredient lists. It is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by these brands; all trademarks belong to their owners.Say your store ships 400 orders a month. The widget shows a pairing on the product page and 6 shoppers in 100 add it at a €32 average. That is roughly €770 of added revenue in a month, against a €99 plan. The conflict warnings trim the returns that begin with “this broke me out”, and the planner collects email addresses you did not have before.

Every impression, click and add is logged against the pairing that drove it, and a built-in control group gives you a no-Qinci baseline to compare against. You see the lift as a number, not a promise.
Telling a shopper to alternate their retinol and their acid prevents the reaction that ends in a refund and a one-star review.
The planner reports which routine steps your customers ask for and your shelf cannot fill yet. That is a merchandising brief.

A recommendation is one pairing shown to a shopper; clicks and add-to-carts do not count extra. Plans set a monthly cap, nothing is billed per recommendation, and there is never an overage charge: at the cap the widget simply pauses until the month resets.
No. Qinci only recommends when the ingredients genuinely fit what's already in the cart, and it runs as its own storefront block. It sits alongside a general upsell or bundle app without conflicting.
Qinci reads the custom.inci_list metafield first, falls back to the product description, then checks a built-in reference table of 270+ popular third-party products, each mapped to its published ingredients, from brands like The Ordinary, CeraVe and COSRX. You can also import a CSV, or correct any product by hand in the app.
The widget script loads asynchronously and only calls the API once a shopper has something in their cart, so it never blocks your page from rendering.
Your store's data (products, recommendations, shopper emails, settings) is permanently deleted within 48 hours of uninstalling, automatically, no request needed. We keep only an anonymous uninstall record (shop domain, plan, dates, usage counts; no names or emails) to learn why merchants leave. The Privacy Policy has the full breakdown.
No, never sold. Only the minimum necessary is shared with the small number of infrastructure providers listed in the Privacy Policy (hosting, email delivery, error monitoring) - never with other merchants or advertisers.
The widget, planner and admin are fully available in English, German and Hungarian, matched to the shopper's browser automatically. Prices show in the shopper's own currency under Shopify Markets.
Feature requests, a store that will not sync, a recommendation that looks wrong, pricing, anything. It reaches the person who builds Qinci, not a queue.
