Drive More Online Sales with Shopify Integration for ManyChat

As an eCommerce store owner or marketer, making sure you’re communicating with your customers is extremely important to building meaningful relationships and loyalty.
Fielding questions manually and sending abandoned cart messages via email can be helpful, but ManyChat can also help Shopify store owners save time through Chat automation — and please customers on the channels they prefer.
This native integration helps deliver a frictionless omnichannel customer experience in your online shop in one click — saving you time and resources.
You can also send abandoned cart reminders via text, showcase products inside Messenger, deliver fulfillment emails, and other functions to keep customers informed and at ease.
The Shopify and ManyChat integration enables you to offer faster, automated customer communication to supercharge your online store.
What you can do with the Shopify Integration
Here are a few ways you can grow your Shopify store with ManyChat:
1. Help customers find what they need
Facebook ads integrations let you connect with people, answer questions, surface products, and send them to a product listing in your store.
ManyChat ads let you build and send ads to lookalike audiences based on a specific set of subscribed customers, such as people who:
- Received an “order placed” message
- Specified interest in a particular product
- Are likely to buy using a coupon
Sponsored messages can turn every conversation into the equivalent of an email lead — but with higher open and CTR rates.
Comments Growth Tool can help you grab subscribers from a boosted post on Facebook with an eye-catching product image.
2. Communicate at the right time, on the right channel
With ManyChat’s chat automation tools, you can talk to your customers anytime, any place, and on their preferred channels, be it Messenger, SMS, or email.
Personalizing your marketing communications and sending customers the right message, at the right time, in the right place paves the way to successful business-consumer relationships.
You can delight your customers by sending helpful product follow-ups, collecting their feedback, re-engaging with cold customers, and more. Then you’ll be in a better position to bring them back into your store and start recommending more relevant products for them.
3. Recapture lost sales
You can automatically send abandoned-cart messages on Messenger, SMS, and email to customers who didn’t finish their purchase.
4. Turn store visitors into subscribers
Place an Overlay Widget on product pages or Add-to-Cart pages. Add Customer Chat to answer questions about individual products. Create the message, timing, and placement and add it to your Shopify store to grow your lists. No coding required.
