If you use Shopify + Attentive, you can personalize your campaign and journey messages with dynamic variables, such as {firstName}, {productName}, and {orderNumber}. Subscribers will see their personalized information in place of the variable.
The example below retrieves the subscriber’s name, order number, and tracking information from their Shopify account.
| Your message: | What the subscriber sees: |
| Hey {firstName}, thanks for shopping with us! Your order number is {orderNumber} and it'll be on its way shortly. To track your order, see: {orderStatusLink} | Offers By Text: Hey Dan, thanks for shopping with us! Your order number is 12345 and it'll be on its way shortly. To track your order, see: https://offersbytext.attn.tv/l/QeD/AAAAA |
If your Shopify store doesn't have the associated information for the subscriber, the message doesn't send. This doesn't apply to {firstName} {lastName} and {fullName} variables; those are left blank if Shopify doesn't have the information.
To build your own variable, see What are custom journey triggers?
