USE CASE
Combining Email, SMS, and Wallet Push Notifications with Automation

Challenge

Traditional email and SMS campaigns often fail to maintain engagement across channels. Messages can be overlooked in crowded inboxes or forgotten after quick SMS glances. Plus, brands struggle to connect these digital efforts with in-store experiences. There’s a need for a solution that ties online and offline channels together for a seamless, engaging customer journey.

Solution

Integrating Mobile Wallet Passes into Shopify Flow, Connectif or Klaviyo workflows adds a persistent and dynamic channel that enhances engagement across email, SMS, and in-store interactions. Wallet passes create an omni-channel experience by offering geolocation notifications, personalized offers, and real-time updates—all accessible from a customer’s mobile device.

Easy Integration for Unified Campaigns

Easy Integration for Unified Campaigns

  1. Automatically generate personalized wallet passes for customers based on their profiles and actions.
  2. Add wallet pass download links to emails and SMS messages in existing workflows.
  3. Keep passes up-to-date in real-time with new rewards, offers, or messages without manual intervention.

Wallet Specific Triggers and Actions

Wallet Specific Triggers and Actions

Wallet integration adds unique triggers, such as wallet clicks, visits, downloads, scans... allowing brands to send tailored responses like push notifications or loyalty updates. For example, a wallet visit can trigger a reminder about an expiring offer, while a wallet scan at checkout can instantly reward points.

How it works

How Wallet Passes Complement Email, SMS, and In-Store Experiences
