Why Klaviyo Is the Best Email Marketing Tool for Shopify Stores
Jessica ReynoldsEmail marketing is one of the highest ROI tools in your Shopify toolkit—but only if your platform plays nicely with your store. Klaviyo does. It connects directly with Shopify to help you send smarter emails, personalize customer journeys, and boost revenue on autopilot.
Here’s why I recommend it to every Shopify client (yes, even beginners).
1. It Was Built for Shopify
Klaviyo’s Shopify integration is seamless—no weird workarounds or broken data. You can:
- Sync customer data + order history instantly
- Trigger emails based on browsing, purchase, or abandonment behavior
- Track revenue from each email or flow
No tech headaches required.
2. Powerful (and Pre-Built) Flows
Even if you’re just starting out, Klaviyo gives you done-for-you automations:
- Welcome flow for new subscribers
- Abandoned cart reminders
- Post-purchase thank yous
- Win-back emails
You can launch them fast and tweak the timing, design, or messaging later.
3. Incredible Segmentation
Want to email VIP customers only? Or people who browsed but didn’t buy?
Klaviyo’s segmentation lets you get crazy specific—without needing a dev or marketing team.
Think:
- “People who bought X but not Y”
- “Engaged in last 30 days”
- “Added to cart but didn’t purchase”
It makes personalizing your marketing actually doable.
4. Drag-and-Drop Email Builder
Customizing emails doesn’t require a designer. Klaviyo’s email builder is:
- Simple
- Clean
- Brandable (Is this even a word? It is now 😉.)
You can upload your logo, add products, drop in discount codes, and match your store’s vibe with ease.
5. Data That Makes You Smarter
No more guessing. Klaviyo shows you:
- How much $$ each email brings in
- What flows are working
- Who’s opening, clicking, or ghosting
Real data = better decisions = more sales.
6. Free to Start, Scales With You
You can start free with up to 250 contacts and 500 monthly email sends. So whether you’ve got 20 people on your list or 20,000—Klaviyo can grow with you.
