Where signups go
Newsletter signups are stored as customers in Shopify admin > Customers. They are automatically tagged as accepting email marketing. From there, you can:
- Send campaigns from
Shopify admin > Marketingusing the Shopify Email app. - Sync to a third-party marketing platform (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, etc.) by installing the appropriate Shopify app, which will pull the same customer list.
Pave does not integrate directly with third-party email tools. The form posts to Shopify, and apps that subscribe to customer events handle the rest.
Tips
- Be honest in the offer. If your subtext promises 10% off, send the discount code in the welcome email. Customers who don’t receive the promised discount unsubscribe at high rates.
- Keep the subtext short. Two short sentences work; long marketing copy hurts conversion.
- Social proof text is optional. Use it for a follower count (
Join 12,000+ subscribers) only if the number is real and impressive. - GDPR / privacy compliance — If you operate in the EU, configure customer accounts and email marketing settings in
Shopify admin > Settings > Customer accountsandSettings > Notificationsto ensure the signup language is compliant.
