About this template
What This Workflow Does
A shopper signs up at the till, and their details stop there. Getting them into Shopify means someone exporting the day's sign-ups and importing them later, which is slow enough that the customer receives no online welcome, and careless enough that regulars end up with two accounts under one email. This template moves the profile across as it is created, and checks Shopify first.
Key benefits
In-store sign-ups reach Shopify — New Lightspeed XRetail customers arrive in the online store without an export.
Matched on email first — Shopify is searched by email address before any record is written.
Existing shoppers refreshed — A matched customer has their Shopify profile updated with the latest till details.
No end-of-day transcription — Retail staff stop retyping sign-up sheets into the ecommerce platform.
Inside the flow
How the template works
appse ai runs this workflow from a customer created at the Lightspeed XRetail register through a Shopify email match to either a refreshed profile or a newly created one.
01
Capture the new Lightspeed XRetail customer
appse ai starts the moment a customer profile is created at the register in Lightspeed XRetail, taking the contact details entered in store. The sign-up moves toward the online store without anyone exporting a list at closing time.
02
Search Shopify by email address
appse ai queries Shopify for a customer matching the captured email. This single read decides everything that follows and is what stops a regular shopper ending up with two accounts under one address.
03
Refresh the profile when the shopper already exists
When Shopify returns a match, appse ai updates that customer record with the contact details captured in store. The online profile reflects what the shopper told your staff at the till rather than what they typed in months ago.
04
Create the customer when the email is new
When no match comes back, appse ai creates the customer in Shopify from the Lightspeed XRetail profile. A walk-in shopper becomes a reachable online customer the same day rather than at the next import.
05
Hand a current record to marketing and service
Both paths leave Shopify holding a single accurate customer record for that email. Campaign lists and service lookups run against the same profile your store staff are working from.
Business Benefits
Turn in-store sign-ups into Shopify customer records as they happen, matched on email so nobody is duplicated.
01
Capture walk-in shoppers online
Customers who sign up at the till become reachable in the online store the same day.
02
Stop duplicate accounts
The email lookup runs before any write, so an existing shopper is updated rather than listed twice.
03
Retire end-of-day transcription
Store staff no longer export or retype the day's sign-ups into the ecommerce platform.
04
Keep contact details current
Details corrected at the register refresh the matching Shopify profile instead of ageing in place.
05
Give marketing a fresher list
Campaigns run against a customer list that already includes this week's in-store sign-ups.
06
Protect database integrity
One email resolves to one Shopify customer, so reporting and segmentation are not split across fragments.
07
Shorten the path to first online order
A new shopper can buy online without creating an account they have effectively already given you.
08
Scale sign-up volume
Busy trading periods do not create an equivalent backlog of customer data entry.
