Integrating with email marketing apps

Note: When users sign up for a newsletter, they are added to your customer list in Shopify with the appropriate tags (e.g., "newsletter"). From here, you would need to use some sort of app or newsletter provider and configure it to pick addresses with those tags from your Shopify admin and send out any emails.

To automate email campaigns, send discount codes, or welcome emails, you can integrate with third-party email marketing apps such as:

  • Shopify Email - For basic email marketing and automated campaigns.
  • Klaviyo - Advanced segmentation, automated discount emails, and personalized flows.
  • Omnisend - Email & SMS automation for abandoned carts and promotions.
  • Privy - Pop-ups, email automation, and discount offers for sign-ups.
