Top 7 Shopify merchants using Segment

connect segment and shopify littledata shopify app

Data can be immensely useful. It can empower your decision making, change your course of action or offer insight into a better way forward.

But if data is inaccurate, disorganized, or simply set up to be overwhelming, it can be distracting or even set you up for failure.

So where do you start with data?

As Shopify continues to develop features for enterprise ecommerce, like selling in multiple currencies, many larger merchants are combining the plug-and-play versatility of Shopify Plus with Segment’s dynamic approach to customer data.

This is especially true for stores with personalised online experiences, DTC brands and products by subscription. Why? Because each of these businesses are looking to automate the customer journey as much as possible.

Last week at Shopify Unite, we learned a lot. But one thing we kept noticing was how often Segment came up in discussions with Shopify partners. With that said, we wanted to take a look at some of Littledata’s customers using Shopify and Segment together to supercharge growth.

What is Segment?

Segment is a streamlined way to clean, collect, push and pull customer data. The company has raised over $280 million and it continues to grow especially fast in the commerce vertical.

Their Customer Data Infrastructure (CDI) is built around connections, protocols and personas (single user views), and the platform organizes connections in terms of sources and destinations.

In other words, you can think about Segment as a single API for all of your customer data.

You probably know by now that Segment is used by major ecommerce brands like Trunk Club, which famously uses Segment to help deliver personalised style recommendations. Such advanced benefits are increasingly available to everyone.

As Shopify continues to push features for enterprise ecommerce, you don’t have to be front-page news to take advantage of Segment’s functionality.

So which mid-sized and larger brands are using Segment together with Shopify?

Each of these stores are currently using Littledata’s Shopify x Segment connection, which integrates Shopify with Segment automatically to ensure accurate tracking at every customer touch point.

While some of these brands use the Shopify app to push data from Shopify to Segment for ecommerce reporting (with tools like Mixpanel and Amplitude), some are more focused on using data for hyper-targeted marketing automation. Others are combining these approaches for a complete, custom experience and fixed Shopify reporting.

1. Nuun

Nuun was the first company to separate electrolyte replacement from carbohydrates. The result? A healthy, hydrating beverage without all of the extra sugar and additives.

Nuun started ten years ago and has continued to expand to offer a variety of products for hydration and healthy living. The products are now sold in over 5,000 outlets in the USA and available in over 30 countries.

We love Nuun’s website because it offers subscriptions, which makes it easy to subscribe to the hydration products you rely on for sport or everyday life.

Unicorn Rides is the fastest transportation method within 1 mile and costs a fraction of popular scooter rental startups like Bird, Spin and Jump.

Cellucor’s cart is built on a tiered discount system — the more the user adds to their cart, the better their discount is upon checkout. The tiers include free shipping (orders of $50 or more), a 15% discount and a 20% discount on their entire order.
