How it sells itself

Running an online store means managing not only your products but also your online shopper's list. Over time, your customer database can become cluttered with inactive users, those who just sign up but never complete the purchase or have not engaged with your store for weeks or even months. This Dormant Customer Manager app ideally tackles these users, helping you maintain a clean as well as active shoppers list.

Your VIP just got a win-back discount. Your most loyal buyer looks lapsed. A subscriber got your newsletter twice. Duplicate customer profiles can cause all three. MergeGuard finds duplicate customers by name, email, phone and address and counts each person once. See real VIPs, win back customers who truly stopped and spot subscribers who may cancel. Sync clean lists to Klaviyo and fix email typos.

Key points
  • Fetch Inactive Customers: Allows to identify long-time inactive users to remove.
  • One-Click Removal: All inactive customers & remove them in single click.
  • Date-wise Removal: Customise customer cleanup by picking users based on their la
  • Identify duplicate customer profiles
  • Review detected duplicates before merging
  • Merge customer profiles into a single record
  • Maintain customer details and order history
