The Essential Klaviyo Flows Every Shopify Store Needs

1. Welcome series

Introduce your brand, share best sellers and reviews, and deliver any sign-up offer. Split new subscribers by whether they have already purchased.

2. Abandoned checkout

The highest-intent flow. Send the first reminder within an hour, follow with social proof and FAQs, and reserve incentives for later emails or higher-value carts.

3. Browse abandonment

Remind visitors about the products they viewed and recommend alternatives. Keep it helpful rather than pushy.

4. Post-purchase

Thank customers, set delivery expectations, share how-to content, ask for a review and cross-sell complementary products once the order has arrived.

5. Win-back

Re-engage customers based on your typical repurchase cycle with new arrivals, best sellers and, if needed, a time-limited offer.

6. Sunset flow

Remove persistently unengaged subscribers to protect deliverability and keep your Klaviyo costs under control.

Best practices

  • Segment by purchase history, engagement and location
  • Use dynamic product blocks and personalization
  • Keep designs mobile-first and fast-loading
  • Respect consent rules in each market (CAN-SPAM in the US, UK GDPR and PECR in the UK, the Spam Act in Australia)
  • Review flow performance monthly and A/B test subject lines and timing

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Start with the welcome series and abandoned checkout flow - they usually generate the most revenue for the least effort.

Typically two to three emails over 2-3 days: a reminder, social proof, and an optional incentive for higher-value carts.

For many brands, yes. SMS works well for time-sensitive messages such as abandoned checkouts and launches, as long as subscribers have opted in.
