Alternate Flows

A1: Cold start (new visitor): If no history exists, AI engine uses trending/popular products until behavior is captured.

A2: Out-of-stock items: If a recommended product goes out of stock, AI engine substitutes with alternatives.

A3: Data sync failure: If CRM or Shopify API is down, personalization falls back to default collections.

A4: Customer opts out: If user declines personalization, store serves generic layout while maintaining compliance.
