Before paying for a separate CRM, check what the Shopify admin already does. Shopify describes its segmentation as free for merchants, with no cap on customers and a growing set of templates, and segments update automatically as customers are added or their details change. The Help Center shows a segment editor on the Customers page that combines filter names, operators and values, plus a ShopifyQL editor for custom queries; the default view lists name, subscription status, location, orders and amount spent. Segments can then drive discounts for high-value customers, personalized messages and Shopify automations, and consent capture helps with GDPR and CCPA. What you do not get is a support inbox, a sales pipeline or the browse-level behavior signals that Klaviyo and Omnisend collect. Shopify plan prices showed only in another currency from our location, so check the US pricing page.
