Zoho Campaigns' ecommerce solutions for Shopify - Online Help | Zoho Campaigns

Ecommerce solutions for Shopify

If your store is on the Shopify basic plan, your contacts and their order related information can not be synced to your Zoho Campaigns account.

The Zoho Campaigns and Shopify integration is mainly designed to bridge the gap between your marketing efforts and ecommerce activities. This integration lets you:
  1. Import your products into Zoho Campaigns for promotions.
  2. Import your customers and their details.
  3. Import the details of orders placed in your store.
  4. Gain detailed insights on your total and average store revenue.
If you've already integrated with Shopify, you can access Zoho Campaigns' ecommerce solution for your Shopify store by disconnecting and re-integrating your Shopify account.
If you re-integrate your Shopify account, existing syncs that you have with Shopify will be disabled.

To connect your Shopify store:
  1. From the navigation toolbar select Ecommerce.
  2. Take a quick look at what happens if you connect your store with Zoho Campaigns.
  3. Integrate with Shopify if you haven't done it yet.
  4. Upon integrating, your online store and the data in it (customers, products, store domain, currency used) will be connected and synced with Campaigns.
Note : You can integrate only one of your Shopify store into Zoho Campaigns.
