Step 3: Connect Klaviyo to Shopify

Once the app is installed, open it within Shopify. You will be prompted to enter your Klaviyo API key. To find this, log into your Klaviyo account, go to Account > Settings > API Keys, and copy the public API key. Paste it into Shopify to establish the connection.

Step 4: Sync Your Shopify Data with Klaviyo

After connecting the accounts, Klaviyo will automatically sync your Shopify customer and order data. This process may take a few minutes. Once completed, you can start creating targeted email campaigns based on this data.

Step 5: Set Up Your First Campaign

In Klaviyo, go to the “Campaigns” tab and click “Create Campaign”. Choose your target audience, craft your message, and select your desired automation triggers. Use the data synced from Shopify to personalize your emails for better engagement.

Additional Tips for Success
