Order Sync integrates your store's full order history into E-goi and syncs up any new orders from your customers.

 

 

What is Order Sync

Order Sync seamlessly pulls your customers' orders into E-goi .

Any order made by a customer in your online shop will also be stored in E-goi, allowing you to hyper-segment your shoppers and engage them with order-based campaigns.

Example: A customer buys an item in your online store. E-goi will add this info to the customer's profile in your E-goi contact list. You can then create  powerful segments based on people who purchased this item.

Benefits

  • Behavioral targeting: You can slice-and-dice clients by transaction, such as order frequency, amount spent or item type for ultra-personalised targeting.

  • High-impact marketing automation: Order Sync lets you create a multichannel nurturing flow based on actual purchases, perfect for cross-selling, abandoned cart recovery and VIP shopper targeting.

  • 360º insights: Order Sync empowers your E-goi campaign results with actual revenue info straight from your store, all in a single spot.

 

Use cases

  • Ecommerce marketing automation: Send automatic order thank-yous, upsells or abandoned cart recoveries.
  • Advanced behavioral segmentation: Target your shoppers based on past orders, average amount spent or specific buys.
  • Performance analysis: Gauge how your campaigns are doing based on order amount.

  • Ecommerce event syncing enabled in E-goi's integration with your shop.

  • Pending: The order is "pending", due to an unconfirmed payment, process initiation or another step.
  • Completed: The order is "completed", which means payment was confirmed, item was shipped or another step.
  • Canceled: The order is "canceled". This can be due to order cancellation or a processing failure.
  • Unknown: The order is "unknown", as it couldn't be assigned to any other E-goi order status.
