Audiences

Use audiences to deliver smarter, more effective marketing.

Updated this week

Marketing audiences are customer groups based on behavior, purchase history, and interactions with your store. With audiences, you can target your marketing more effectively to the right people.

You can find audiences under > Top right corner > General settings > Audiences.

Adding an audience

Add a new audience by clicking the Add audience button.

Next, select the audience type from the list. Audiences work automatically based on their intended purpose.

Note that, for example, customers who abandoned their cart are already included in automated messages, and the abandoned cart recovery message can be activated from there.

Then set the appropriate settings for the audience. You can choose criteria such as country and language to determine which customers are included. You can also link the customer to specific customer groups.

Finally, save the audience. Saving may take a moment if your store has a large customer database.

Multiple audiences of the same type

You can add several audiences of the same type with different settings. For example, you can create different versions of the product viewers audience based on which products were viewed.

Understanding customer segmentation

Available audience types for customer segmentation:

  • Customers who made their first purchase within the last month

  • Perfect for welcome campaigns or first-time buyer offers

Returning customers

  • Customers who have purchased more than once

  • Great for loyalty campaigns and repeat purchase incentives

One-time buyers

  • Customers who made exactly one purchase and haven’t returned

  • Ideal for re-engagement campaigns to encourage a second order

Leads

  • Customers who have shown interest but haven’t purchased yet

  • Great for first-purchase incentives

Registered customers

  • Anyone who has created a customer account in your store

  • Useful for account activation and engagement campaigns

Cart abandoners

  • Customers who added items to their cart but didn’t complete the purchase

  • Updates every few minutes to detect recent abandonment

How do audiences update?

  • Customers can belong to multiple audiences simultaneously.
