What is AL CustomerMetaSync?

AL CustomerMetaSync is a Shopify app by Alquimista Co.,ltd. that collects customer information at sign-up. https://apps.shopify.com/al-customermetasync
  • Shows a member registration form right after login to collect birthday, gender, phone number, and more. It works with new customer accounts.
  • Saves the collected information to Shopify customer metafields.
  • Supports text and date fields, dropdowns (single and multiple choice), on/off toggles, and file uploads.
  • Forms can also be placed on the profile page, the Thank you page, and the Order status page, so you can keep collecting and updating customer information after sign-up.

​
What the MultiLikes integration does

Add a “favorite stores” field to the AL CustomerMetaSync registration form, and the stores a customer picks are added to their MultiLikes store favorites automatically.
  • Know each customer’s favorite stores from sign-up: There is no need to wait for customers to press the favorite button on a store page. You can connect stores and customers from the day they sign up.
  • Customers can choose more than one store: Customers can pick all the stores they often visit.
  • Changes on the account page are reflected: When customers update their favorite stores on the account page form, their MultiLikes store favorites are updated to match. Stores they deselect are removed from their favorites.
  • Works just like the favorite button: Favorites added this way count toward each store’s favorite count, appear in the favorites list, and fire MultiLikes Shopify Flow triggers.

​
How it works

AL CustomerMetaSync and MultiLikes are connected through Shopify Flow.
1

The customer chooses favorite stores on the form

On the member registration form or the account page form, the customer chooses their favorite stores. The choices are saved to a customer metafield.
2

An AL CustomerMetaSync trigger starts Shopify Flow

When the form is submitted, an AL CustomerMetaSync trigger starts a Shopify Flow workflow.
3

The stores are reflected in MultiLikes store favorites

The workflow calls a MultiLikes action that reflects the chosen stores in the customer’s MultiLikes store favorites.

​
Using it for CRM

Because you know each customer’s favorite stores from sign-up, you can start store-based CRM right away.

​
Turn favorite stores into customer tags

Combine this with the [Store favorites] Reflect favorited stores as customer tags Shopify Flow, and favorite stores added through AL CustomerMetaSync also become customer tags (for example, お気に入り店舗_Downtown Store). When customers change their choices on the account page, the tags change with them. Build Shopify segments from these customer tags to narrow down customers by favorite store.

​
Campaign ideas

  • New arrivals and sales at a favorite store: Announce new arrivals and sales to each store’s segment with Shopify Email or another email tool.
  • Store-only coupons and in-store perks: Send coupons or in-store perks only to customers who favorited a store, and turn online visitors into in-store shoppers.
  • Store event invitations: Invite the customers who chose a store to its events and trunk shows.
  • Follow-up from store staff: See your members by favorite store and use it for outreach and follow-up from store staff.
