AIRSHIP MAINTAINED INTEGRATION

This integration is maintained by Airship. Please contact Airship for support.

Our Shopify integration enables your Shopify store for web notifications and automatically captures cart-, checkout-, and order-related events, e.g., order fulfilled, checkout created. Use these events to trigger Airship Sequences and automations in your messaging campaigns.

 Note

The events configured for this integration are implemented as Custom EventsEvents that indicate that a user performed a predefined action, such as adding an item to a shopping cart, viewing a screen, or clicking an Unsubscribe button. Custom events can trigger automation, sequences, scenes, and surveys. You can code them into your app or website, or send them to Airship from an external source using the custom event API. Custom events contain properties that you can use to personalize messages. in Airship.

Custom events include additional data from Shopify–properties that can be used to personalize messages in Airship. These include things like items in a customer’s cart, the total purchase value, customer first name, or the URL for an abandoned cart.
