Integration Logic

  • Grin for Shopify

    This three-way integration creates a seamless data flow for influencer marketing management. 1. **Shopify to Upfluence:** Your Shopify product catalog is synced to Upfluence, allowing you to easily manage product seeding and gifting. Upfluence can then generate unique Shopify discount codes or affiliate links for each creator. Sales made using these codes/links are tracked in Shopify and automatically reported back to Upfluence, enabling accurate performance tracking and commission payouts. 2. **Upfluence to Klaviyo:** Creator and influencer data from Upfluence, such as their contact information, social handles, and campaign involvement, can be synced to specific lists or segments in Klaviyo. This allows you to build targeted communication flows for your creator community. 3. **Enhanced Shopify & Klaviyo Flow:** The integration enriches the data passed from Shopify to Klaviyo. When a customer makes a purchase using a creator's unique code, that information can be passed to Klaviyo as a custom property. This enables you to trigger hyper-specific post-purchase email flows that acknowledge the influencer's role in the sale.
