Before integrating your accounts, ensure that your Benchmark account is in the right list plan to bring in new contacts. You should also have a paid Shopify account; otherwise, the connection will fail. Please note, there are two parts to this integration. The first process will begin within Shopify.
The integration process will begin within Shopify.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, click on Get Started.
At the bottom of the page, click on Shopify, enter your Shopify Store Name (This is the “shop-name” portion of https://shop-name.myshopify.com/)
Enter the generated API key from Shopify along with the password and save.
Further, configure the integration between Benchmark and Shopify by selecting import options and lists.
Note: There are three import options for Shopify. All Customers, Customers who accept marketing, and Customers who do not accept marketing. Select the option that best fits your needs.
Map the fields of the list with details to be pulled from Shopify.
Click on save and next and the integration is now setup.
Important: If your shop name contains hyphens make sure to add them in the Shop Name Store. Otherwise, the integration will not work.
The final number of imported contacts may be less than the projected number due to the filtering of certain emails. Benchmark Email removes role-based emails, duplicates, unsubscribes and blocked domains. Click Here to learn more.
Note: Since this integration offers a one-time import if you need to import more contacts at a later time, you will have to repeat the steps above. However, when you go to import again, you can choose the previous connection or create a new one.
