How to use Shopify Rule Based Audiences with Email Newsletters

Alert: This feature is only available to our paid subscribers. You can check out your plan options here.

AdRoll’s Shopify integration pulls in historical data in your Shopify store at the time of your initial sync.

Once enabled, the integration will begin to sync metrics and customer data from Shopify within AdRoll that you can then leverage to send targeted email newsletter campaigns based on the actions your visitors and customers take on your website.
