# Connect Shopify to Yotpo > Automate review collection, loyalty programs, and social proof workflows between your Shopify store and Yotpo. **Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/shopify-yotpo-integrations/ **Shopify connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/shopify-integrations/ **Shopify documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/shopify **Yotpo connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/yotpo-integrations/ **Yotpo documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/yotpo ## Overview Shopify runs your storefront and order management. Yotpo drives customer engagement through reviews, loyalty, and user-generated content. Together, they become a real engine for social commerce. You can automatically solicit reviews after purchases, sync loyalty points with order activity, and surface authentic customer content at every stage of the buyer journey. Tray.ai lets you build real-time integrations between Shopify and Yotpo without writing a single line of custom code. Manually moving data between Shopify and Yotpo costs you time and revenue. Without automation, your team exports order data, triggers review requests by hand, reconciles loyalty point balances, and chases down user-generated content — all of it error-prone, all of it slowing down moments that matter to customers. Connecting Shopify and Yotpo through tray.ai creates a feedback loop where orders automatically trigger review invitations, fulfilled shipments enroll customers in loyalty programs, and product ratings sync back to your storefront in real time. That means faster trust-building with new shoppers, better repeat purchase rates, and a live stream of authentic content for your marketing team — without anyone doing it manually. ## Use cases ### Automated Post-Purchase Review Requests When an order is marked as fulfilled in Shopify, tray.ai automatically triggers a personalized review request in Yotpo at the right time after delivery. Every customer gets a timely, relevant ask for feedback without your team lifting a finger. More reviews means more social proof and better search visibility. - Reach customers at the right post-purchase moment to increase review collection rates - Eliminate manual CSV exports and batch uploads into Yotpo - Improve product star ratings and on-site conversion with fresh, consistent reviews ### Loyalty Points Sync on Order Events Each time a Shopify order is placed, paid, or refunded, tray.ai updates that customer's Yotpo loyalty point balance in real time. Refunds and cancellations automatically trigger point deductions, so balances stay accurate without reconciliation work. Customers see current reward balances in every interaction, which reinforces repeat purchase behavior. - Keep loyalty point balances accurate and tied directly to Shopify order events - Reduce customer service tickets caused by mismatched reward balances - Drive repeat purchases by ensuring customers always see their current reward status ### New Customer Enrollment in Yotpo Loyalty Program When a new customer account is created or a first purchase is completed in Shopify, tray.ai automatically enrolls them in your Yotpo loyalty program and issues a welcome bonus. No manual opt-in, no friction — every new buyer is immediately part of your rewards program. Higher enrollment rates tend to follow, and so does customer lifetime value. - Enroll every new Shopify customer into Yotpo loyalty automatically - Issue welcome bonus points instantly to push toward a second purchase - Grow your loyalty program membership in step with customer acquisition ### Sync Yotpo Reviews Back to Shopify Product Pages As new reviews are approved in Yotpo, tray.ai can trigger downstream workflows to update product metadata, notify merchandising teams, or push review highlights into Shopify metafields for display on product pages. Your storefront stays populated with fresh social proof without any copy-paste work. Timely review display has a measurable impact on add-to-cart rates for new visitors. - Keep product pages stocked with current, approved reviews automatically - Alert merchandising or marketing teams when high-value reviews are published - Use Shopify metafields to surface star ratings and review snippets in search results ### VIP Customer Tier Promotion Based on Shopify Spend Tray.ai monitors cumulative order spend in Shopify and automatically upgrades a customer's Yotpo loyalty tier when they cross defined thresholds. VIP tier changes can simultaneously trigger personalized Yotpo email campaigns and Shopify discount code generation, so the reward lands without any manual coordination. Your best customers get recognized faster, and churn at the high-value segment drops. - Promote customers to VIP loyalty tiers automatically based on real Shopify spend data - Trigger personalized reward emails in Yotpo the moment a tier threshold is crossed - Cut manual tier audits and the risk of missing high-value customers for promotion ### User-Generated Content (UGC) Alerts for Marketing Campaigns When customers submit photo or video reviews in Yotpo, tray.ai can notify your marketing team via Slack or email and tag those assets in connected tools for use in Shopify email campaigns or paid ads. Marketing teams can act on authentic content within minutes rather than discovering it days later. - Surface new Yotpo photo and video reviews to marketing teams in real time - Build a continuous pipeline of authentic UGC for Shopify email and ad campaigns - Cut the time between a great customer review and actual campaign use ### Referral Program Trigger on Repeat Purchases When a customer completes a second purchase in Shopify, tray.ai triggers a Yotpo referral program invitation, targeting buyers who've already shown they like what you sell. Referral invitations sent at this point in the customer journey consistently outperform generic broadcast campaigns. Your referral base grows without any manual segmentation. - Target referral invitations at your highest-intent customers automatically - Improve referral program conversion rates with well-timed outreach - Grow word-of-mouth acquisition without manual list building ## Templates ### Shopify Order Fulfilled → Yotpo Review Request Automatically sends a Yotpo review request email to a customer a configurable number of days after their Shopify order is marked as fulfilled, including product details and a direct review link.

Building reliable event-driven logic for all of that manually is a real headache. **How Tray.ai helps:** Tray.ai's workflow branching routes each Shopify order event to the correct Yotpo action based on order status, line item fulfillment state, and refund details, so your loyalty and review logic always responds to the right trigger. ### Avoiding Duplicate Review Requests and Loyalty Awards Without deduplication logic, automation can send multiple review requests for the same order or award loyalty points twice if webhooks fire more than once — which erodes customer trust and inflates reward balances. **How Tray.ai helps:** Tray.ai supports idempotency checks using stored workflow state and conditional steps that verify whether an action has already been completed for a given Shopify order ID before executing any Yotpo write operations. ### Rate Limiting and API Quota Management High-volume Shopify stores processing thousands of orders per day can exhaust Yotpo API rate limits quickly when every order event fires simultaneous API calls, causing failures and data gaps in loyalty and review workflows. **How Tray.ai helps:** Tray.ai includes built-in retry logic, error handling, and request queuing within workflows, so high-throughput Shopify stores can sync data to Yotpo reliably without hitting API limits. ### Keeping Historical Customer Data in Sync During Initial Setup When first connecting Shopify and Yotpo, you often need to backfill existing customer records, past order points, and historical reviews — impractical to do manually for stores with tens of thousands of customers. **How Tray.ai helps:** Tray.ai supports bulk data migration workflows that paginate through Shopify's customer and order APIs, transform records to match Yotpo's data model, and load them in batches while respecting rate limits, so you get a clean historical sync at go-live. ## Learn more - Intelligent Integration: https://tray.ai/platform/intelligent-ipaas/ - Merlin Agent Builder: https://tray.ai/platform/merlin-agent-builder/ - Agent Gateway for MCP: https://tray.ai/platform/agent-gateway/ - Book a demo: https://tray.ai/contact/
