Tag Customers by POS Location for Targeted Marketing

Manually identifying customers who shop in-store versus online is time-consuming and prone to errors, hindering personalized marketing efforts. Without this segmentation, you might send irrelevant promotions, diminishing customer engagement and potentially wasting ad spend on broad, untargeted campaigns. This results in missed opportunities to nurture valuable local customers and grow your retail presence.

This Flow starts whenever an "Order created" (Trigger) and immediately checks if the "App name is equal to Point of Sale" (Condition). If true, it automatically uses the "Add customer tags" action to assign the specific POS location name as a tag to the customer, effortlessly building a segmented customer profile for you.

• Launching location-specific promotions or events.
• Analyzing in-store customer demographics for expansion planning.
• Providing tailored customer service based on their primary retail location.

3. 3

   Select "Add customer tags" as your action.

4. 4

How can I see which POS location a customer bought from?

This automation adds a tag to the customer profile with the specific POS location name, making it easy to identify their point of purchase directly within their Shopify customer record.

Can I use these POS tags for email marketing?

Absolutely. By integrating Shopify Flow with your email marketing platform (like Klaviyo), you can segment customers based on these POS tags for highly targeted campaigns.

What if a customer shops at multiple POS locations?

This Flow will add a new tag for each unique POS location they purchase from, allowing you to see their full in-store purchasing history across all your retail locations.
