Shopify customer contact method (recommended)
With Shopify, you can choose which customer's unique identifier that is related to their order.
📝Note: By default, Shopify has Email only selected.
Steps:
4. Scroll to Customer contact method
5. Under Select what contact method customers use to check out, select your preferred communication form.
This setting will depend on your store's marketing strategy:
Email: If you are planning to use email marketing only, then we would recommend updating your primary contact method to be Email
Phone number or email: If you are planning to use email and SMS marketing, then we would recommend updating your primary contact method to be Phone number or email
Shopify customer information settings (recommended)
For a customer to be successfully added to your loyalty program, Marsello requires the customer's First Name, Last Name, and email address.
📝Note: By default, Shopify only requires last name selected.
Steps:
6. Scroll to Customer Information
7. Under Full name, select the Require first and last name checkbox
8. Under Shipping address phone number, select Optional checkbox
📝 Note: This creates a mobile number capture, so customers can enter their mobile number here if they've used email as their unique identifier.
Shopify marketing opt-in settings (recommended)
If you are planning to use email or SMS marketing, you will need to give the customer the option to opt-in to receive marketing from your business.
Steps:
9. Scroll to Marketing Options
10. Next to Email, select the checkbox
11. Next to Preselect – Ensure this checkbox unselected
12. Next to SMS, select the checkbox
⚠️ Important: To comply with SMS and email laws and regulations, it's imperative that your customers have the ability to voluntarily opt-in. This helps to ensure compliance with SMS and Email Marketing standards.
Shopify abandoned cart email settings (recommended)
If you are using Marsello's Abandoned Cart Recovery email automation, we recommend that you disable your Shopify's Abandoned Checkout emails. This is to ensure customers that who have abandoned their shopping cart don't receive multiple abandoned cart emails
📝 Note: By default, Shopify have automatically enabled this in their settings.
Steps:
13. Scroll to Abandoned Checkout Emails section
14. Un-select the checkbox for Send abandoned checkout emails automatically
This will automatically turn off any of the other abandoned checkout settings
15. Click Save
