ActiveCampaign automations, driven by what Shopify sees.
Shopify knows the cart left behind, the first order, the customer who has gone quiet. Patricia turns those into the ActiveCampaign flows that recover and retain, and tags each contact by what they actually bought.
@Pati Fernbrook's abandoned checkouts are climbing on Shopify. Is the ActiveCampaign recovery flow catching them, and can we win back the lapsed buyers?
The recovery flow is firing but leaking at the top, and I have the win-back ready. Pulling the numbers from the store and the automation together:
- 412 abandoned checkouts on Shopify in 30 days; the AC recovery flow only enrolled 300, so 112 never triggered from a mismatched email field
- The flow that did run recovered 41 orders at $92 average, about $3,770 back
- Win-back: 1,180 buyers with no order in 90 days on Shopify, drafted as a three-email AC automation, held for you
- I also tagged this quarter's buyers by category so the next campaign can target dress buyers separately from accessories
Fix the enrollment gap and turn the win-back on.
The recovery flow now enrolls on the correct Shopify checkout event, so the 112 that slipped will be caught going forward. The win-back automation is drafted and pointed at the 1,180 lapsed buyers, held for your yes before the first email goes out. Approve it and it runs on its own from there; I will post recovered revenue here weekly.

What ActiveCampaign and Shopify do together.
Each is useful alone. Joined, they answer the question neither can on its own.
Trigger the ActiveCampaign cart-recovery flow from Shopify abandoned checkouts
Shopify records the abandoned checkout; ActiveCampaign runs the recovery sequence. She wires the flow to enroll on the real checkout event and catches the carts that never triggered, so recovery actually fires. Building the flow is free; sending the emails waits for your yes.
Start a post-purchase ActiveCampaign sequence on a Shopify first order
A first order is the moment to onboard, cross-sell, and ask for the review. She enrolls new Shopify customers into a post-purchase automation in AC, so the second order gets set up while the first is still in the box.
Build a win-back automation from Shopify buyers who have gone quiet
She reads order recency from Shopify, segments the buyers with no order in 90 days, and drafts a win-back automation in ActiveCampaign, excluding anyone who just bought again, so the offer only reaches customers who actually lapsed.
Tag ActiveCampaign contacts by what they bought in Shopify
Order value, product, and category from Shopify become tags on the AC contact, so the next automation can route a high-spend buyer differently from a one-time discount shopper. That behavioral tagging is what makes the flows relevant.
Report recovered and post-purchase revenue across Shopify and ActiveCampaign
She joins the orders Shopify recorded with the automation that drove them in AC, so you see recovered-cart and post-purchase revenue per flow, not just open rates. That closes the loop between the email and the sale.

FAQ
ActiveCampaign + Shopify, answered.
What does connecting ActiveCampaign and Shopify together let Patricia do?
She drives AC automations off Shopify order events: abandoned-cart recovery, post-purchase sequences, and win-backs, plus tagging contacts by what they bought so the flows stay relevant. Then she reports recovered and post-purchase revenue by joining the two. Neither tool does that alone.
Does she send anything on her own?
No. Building automations, tagging contacts, and reporting run on their own. Sending a broadcast to a client's list waits for your explicit yes in Slack. An automation you already approved keeps enrolling and emailing contacts as designed.
Do I need both connected?
For the joined flows, yes: Shopify for the order and cart events, ActiveCampaign for the automations they trigger. Each also works on its own; this page is about what they do together.
Does this work across all our client stores?
Yes. Connect each client's Shopify store and ActiveCampaign account, and every client's data and automations stay walled off from the rest.
