How to connect your Shopify store to ActiveCampaign

• This integration is a one-way sync from Shopify to ActiveCampaign
• Contacts synced from this integration will receive the following tag in ActiveCampaign:  shopify-customer
• Checkouts, abandoned carts, and "Accepts Marketing" opt-in preferences will sync to your ActiveCampaign account for both logged in customers and guests
• Orders of any status will sync to your ActiveCampaign account as they happen. This includes orders where payment is accepted, pending, failed, and refunded

Per Shopify's Terms of Service, this integration will send contact data from your ActiveCampaign account back to your Shopify account. This applies when you update contacts in ActiveCampaign who exist on both platforms.

The information shared with Shopify includes:

• First name
• Last name
• Phone
• Email
• Accepts Marketing field value 

To connect your Shopify store to ActiveCampaign:

Once your Shopify store is connected, you can manage or disconnect the integration at any time.

2. Click "Integrations."

3.  Click the "Shopify" Integration listed on the page. The "Manage" and "Disconnect" options will appear:

Clicking the "Manage" button will present a modal window:

Here you can:

• Configure Abandoned Cart Settings
  Determine how long ActiveCampaign should wait after a contact abandons their cart before triggering an automation that uses the "Abandons Cart" trigger. Choose from 1 hour (recommended), 6 hours, 10 hours, or 24 hours.

• Historical sync
  Clicking the "Sync Historical Data" button will sync the following data from Shopify into your ActiveCampaign account:
  • All contacts in your Shopify account along with any orders that they made
  • All contacts in your Shopify account that have not placed any orders with you
  • All orders placed by contacts that already exist in your ActiveCampaign account
  • Synced historical data will not trigger any automations to run that use the "Makes a purchase" automation trigger.

"Disconnect" button

Clicking the "Disconnect" button will prevent future order and customer data from syncing into your ActiveCampaign account.

Any data already synced from that Shopify store will not be deleted and will remain even after the store has been disconnected.

Learn what Shopify data is synced to your ActiveCampaign account once you enable the integration. 

Use Ecommerce segmenting conditions
Ecommerce segmenting conditions will be available in your account once you enable the WooCommerce integration. You can use these conditions to create "If/Else" forks in automations, conditional content in your campaigns, goal conditions in your automations, set up"Split Test"automations, update a deal score or contact score, send targeted campaigns by creating list segments, and more.

Personalize communications
Use personalization tags generated from this integration in your campaigns and automation emails. Doing so lets you dynamically display product-specific content in your messaging.

Start an automation when a customer makes a purchase
Use the"Makes a purchase" automation trigger to add contacts to an automation as soon as they purchase an item in your store.

View order information in the Conversations Unified Inbox
If you're using Conversations, agents will see an overview of a known visitor's order history. This information will dynamically appear in the Conversations Unified Inbox whenever a known visitor opens a conversation. Agents can use this information to gain greater context when interacting with a visitor, which will allow for deeper engagement.
