The more data you have on customers and the more customers you have on your site also offers you a great chance of having a relationship that leads to sales and revenues.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been running your own business for a long time, you probably have numerous orders from customers who aren\u2019t in your database of customers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">To send account invites on Shopify, log into Shopify admin, check customer account preferences under settings.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Select customers from your list, or add new ones, to send personalized account invites.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Edit and review the invite email in Shopify\u2019s \u2018Notifications\u2019 area for a professional touch.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Why Add Past Customers onto your Shopify Store<\/h2>\n<p>Customers who aren\u2019t in your database are a missed opportunity. Within the customer records are the options to mark the customer down as contactable or not. If they are contactable, then you can send them marketing content that can lead to sales.<\/p>\n<p>There are two reasons why this is important. The first reason is that returning customers are cheaper to convert and often spend more money with you. The purchasing path for them is also quicker, therefore revenues can be turned around quicker.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is that email marketing is cheaper and offers far more rewards for your business. For every $1 that you spend in email marketing, you\u2019re likely to get back between $38 and $44.<\/p>\n<p>However, not all customers when they buy from you create an account. Therefore, you need to invite them to become customers on your store.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row2\">How to Send Account Invites on Shopify<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the steps to send out individual account invites on Shopify.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row3\">Step 1: Log in<\/h3>\n<p>The first step is to log into your Shopify admin area with your user credentials.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row4\">Step 2: Customers<\/h3>\n<p>For this process to work, you must have had your customer account preferences as option or required to proceed. You need to check this information before you can proceed with the rest of the process.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve checked this within the settings area, you can click on the \u2018Customers\u2019 area of your admin panel on the left-hand menu.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row5\">Step 3: Select Customer<\/h3>\n<p>Now you will see a list of customers that have previously made a purchase on your website. You can select the customer that you would like to invite to create an account by clicking on them. If you\u2019ve not got them on the list, you will need to add the customer first.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row6\">Step 4: Account Invite<\/h3>\n<p>Now you will be directed to the page that shows all the information relevant to the selected customer. There will be an option available that states \u2018Send Account Invite\u2019. This will have a letter icon. Click on the option and a new window will display that is the account invite box.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row7\">Step 5: Edit Invite Email<\/h3>\n<p>Now you can edit the account invite email. You can edit some details and information within the account email. This includes the content, subject, sender, recipients, and recipients of blind carbon copies, etc. Edit these fields until you\u2019re happy with the email that you\u2019re sending.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of tools that Shopify provides to help you edit your account invite email template. These can be found in the \u2018Notifications\u2019 area of your website. This can speed up your processing of sending invites to customers.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row8\">Step 6: Review<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019ve completed your edits, you can review the content and all the details. This is done by clicking on the \u2018Review Email\u2019 button that is located at the bottom of the window. This will display a review of your email. This is the last chance for you to check your email again.<\/p>\n<p>If you spot a mistake within the email, you can make changes to your email by clicking on the \u2018Back\u2019 button that is located in the left-bottom corner of the preview window.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row9\">Step 7: Send<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019re happy with the email, you can click on the \u2018Send\u2019 notifications button. This will send the email to your customer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The more customers that are registered on your store, the better the chance you have of creating a regular income that will take your business to the next level.

By inviting customers to create an account to your Shopify store, you open doors for increased customer loyalty and repeat business.\r\n\r\nAs your business grows, the need to add a user as an admin or staff member may arise. This process facilitates efficient collaboration and delegation of tasks within the Shopify dashboard, such as cancel an order or print shipping labels associated with a customer's account, which ensuring seamless operations and customer support.\r\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Additionally, businesses may consider offering the option to enter phone numbers at checkout. This added touchpoint not only facilitates communication but also enables personalized outreach, further strengthening customer relationships.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Integrating account invites into your customer management strategy empowers businesses to delete customers who may have abandoned their accounts or consolidate duplicate records. This proactive approach ensures a clean and organized customer database, facilitating targeted marketing efforts and efficient operations as you set up your store to\u00a0expand your business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Conclusion: How to Send Account Invites on Shopify<\/h2>\r\nSending account invites to customers on your Shopify store is very easy. Follow the steps above, and you can get more customers to subscribe to your store. If you want easier management of your customers, including invites and registration forms, then you can use this app.","repeater":null,"filter":false,"attach_to_post":[1088],"author_bio":false,"custom_author_bio":false,"author_bio_name":"","author_bio_info":"","_meta_excerpt_title":"","meta_excerpt":"","trust_signals":{"expert_reviewed":true,"items_tested":""},"key_statistics":null,"key_takeaways":{"takeaways_items":null},"required_subtopics":null,"context_block":{"context_heading":"","context_excerpt":"","context_content":""},"methodology":{"methodology_heading":"","methodology_content":""},"comparison_table":"","mid_content_cta":{"cta_text":"","cta_button_text":"","cta_link":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Send Account Invites on Shopify 2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover how to send account invites on Shopify with ease.
