Klaviyo vs Third Party App to Collect Emails on Shopify

[MIVASkin]

I have a Shopify store and currently use Wheelio (third party app) to collect emails and import them manually to Klaviyo to enter into the email flow.

Few problems with this: users aren't getting added to the email flow in real time and the spinning wheel can look a little spammy.

I was wondering what method people recommend in terms of collecting emails on Shopify -- do you use Klaviyo's email collector or is there another app that you recommend that better integrates with Klaviyo. And for those who recommend Klaviyo's email collector, is there a way to make it more aesthetically pleasing? It looks really out of place when it pops up.

Also, do you collect phone numbers too? I have been reading that SMS marketing has been extremely successful.

Thanks in advance, any advice is extremely appreciated!!

Hey MIVASkin,

For collecting emails on Shopify, I’d recommend switching to Klaviyo’s native pop-up for seamless integration. It ensures real-time syncing with your email flows. If you want it to look more polished, you can customize it with Klaviyo’s styling options to better match your store's aesthetic. Another option could be using apps like "Privy" or "Justuno" for both email collection and design flexibility.

As for phone numbers, yes! SMS marketing can be super effective, especially for timely offers or updates.
