Shopify Integration

Gleam integrates with Shopify so you can automatically sync email subscribers you generate through Gleam campaigns with your Shopify customer list.

Our Shopify integration also allows you to easily install the Competitions widget on your Shopify store.

Shopify integrations are available on the Pro plan & above.

The first step in integrating Shopify is visiting the Shopify store and installing the Gleam app.

You will then see the Gleam Competitions app appear inside your Shopify admin area, ready for you to install:

Enable sync between Gleam subscribers & Shopify customer list

Once enabled, Gleam subscribers will be automatically synced to your Shopify customer list via:

You can then optionally add tags to Gleam subscribers so you can easily identify and filter these users in your Shopify customer list.

Testing Your Shopify Integration

In order to test if emails successfully sync with your Shopify customer list you need to do the following:

  • Created a Competition with a Subscribe action.
  • Ensure that this action is linked to Shopify.
  • Manually complete the Subscribe action from your Competition dashboard.
  • The action will become invalidated (since we automatically invalidate admin actions).
  • Go to the Actions tab for that Competitions and make your action valid.
  • It should appear in your Shopify customer list within a few minutes.
