Integrating ShoppingGives and Klaviyo

You can now integrate ShoppingGives with Klaviyo so that your consumers' Klaviyo profiles are enriched with data that reflects their individual giving behavior. You can use that data to personalize emails and segment flows with causes you know that each individual consumer supports. Or, you can use past-giving behavior to create consumer segments.

Once integrated, your Klaviyo customer profiles will be enriched with these data points as your customers select causes in the ShoppingGives onsite widget:

  • SG Selected Cause
  • SG Selected Cause Categories
  • SG Selected Cause Link
