How it sells itself

Run newsletters and automated flows without paying per-contact prices. Start free for up to 1,000 subscribers, then pay $1 per 10,000 emails on any plan. Connect the email provider you already use (Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark or any SMTP server), so you keep your sender reputation and domain authentication.

The app integrates your Shopify store with ExpertSender CDP, allowing you to automate multi-channel communication, trigger events like abandoned carts and price drops, and enhance your store with AI-powered recommendations. Gain customer insights, smart segmentation, and real-time reports to optimize marketing.

Key points
  • Send through your own Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, or SMTP account
  • Trigger welcome, abandoned-cart, birthday, post-purchase, and win-back flows
  • Build emails with a drag-and-drop editor, product blocks, and live preview
  • Segment subscribers by purchase history, tags, country, or any custom field
  • Real-Time Data Sync – Sync orders, customers, and marketing consents instantly.
  • Event Tracking – Track site activity to trigger abandoned cart and other events.
  • Historical Data Export – Export past orders and customer data to ECDP.
