Using our native integration, you can pass over purchase orders from your Shopify account into Maropost for Marketing.
Contacts and their subsequent purchases are passed from Shopify to Maropost in real-time as soon as the orders are placed on your Shopify web store. Contact records in Maropost for Marketing are either updated or created using the email address as the lookup key. If the email address exists in Maropost then the contact record is updated with the latest purchase history. If the email address does not exist, then a new contact is created with that email address.
