Every customer journey after purchase.
Automated end to end.

Meridian Nutrition's Shopify store was processing orders fine. Everything after that — delivery updates, reviews, reorders, loyalty, returns — was manual, inconsistent, or simply not happening. We fixed all of it.

$3.2M in revenue. 28,000 customers.
Almost no post-purchase strategy at all.

Meridian Nutrition produces and sells a range of premium health supplements — protein blends, micronutrient stacks, and sleep formulas — direct to consumer through their Shopify store. At the time they came to Amroar, they had $3.2M in annual revenue, 28,000 active customers, and a 30-day product supply cycle that made the reorder window almost entirely predictable.

The acquisition side of their business was functioning well. Paid ads converted. The product was genuinely good — refund rates were low and when customers did leave reviews, they were positive. But the post-purchase experience was almost entirely Shopify's default: an order confirmation, a shipping notification, and then silence.

No day-seven review request. No usage tips for new customers. No reorder nudge timed to when a 30-day supply would actually run out. No loyalty mechanism that rewarded customers who'd bought three or four times. Returns were handled by a CS rep replying to emails one by one. And the subscription product — which should have been their most reliable revenue channel — had a 38% monthly cancellation rate because nobody was managing the relationship after sign-up.

They were spending heavily to acquire customers and almost nothing to keep them. The automation we built reversed that economics without adding headcount.

Six things that should have been
running. None of them were.

Each of these gaps was costing Meridian revenue. Combined, they explain why their customer acquisition cost was effectively much higher than their reported numbers — because they were buying customers they weren't retaining.

01
No post-delivery communication
After the ShipStation delivery confirmation, customers heard nothing. No usage tips. No check-in. No product education. First-time buyers were left to figure out dosing and timing on their own — and a confused customer is a churned customer.
02
Reviews almost never requested
A 4% review submission rate on Shopify. Not because customers were unhappy — refunds were under 2%. Simply because nobody asked, and when they did it was at inconsistent timing, often too early or too late to catch genuine product experience.
03
Reorders left entirely to the customer
A 30-day product supply with no reorder reminder. Customers who ran out simply didn't reorder — not because they didn't want to, but because nothing prompted them. The reorder window was being missed every single month at scale.
04
Returns were a CS email chain
Every return or exchange started with an email to customer support. A CS rep replied, asked questions, waited for responses, and manually issued refunds or exchange orders. An average of 4.5 emails per return, handled entirely by a human.
05
Subscription churn at 38%
Recharge subscriptions were being cancelled at an alarming rate. Customers signed up, received the first box, and then cancelled before the second shipped — often because they forgot they'd subscribed, hadn't started using the product yet, or had a billing issue that went unaddressed.
06
Loyal customers treated like first-timers
A customer on their fifth order received the same post-purchase experience as someone who'd just discovered the brand. No loyalty acknowledgement. No tier upgrade. No preferential treatment for the customers generating the most lifetime value.

From order placed to loyal repeat buyer.
Every step mapped and automated.

The full post-purchase journey, from the moment Shopify fires the order webhook to the 60-day win-back sequence. Every touchpoint timed to the customer's actual product lifecycle, not arbitrary email schedules.

Day 0 — Order placed
Shopify webhook → ShipStation fulfilment triggered
Order event fires from Shopify. ShipStation picks up the fulfilment automatically — warehouse notified, label generated, tracking number created and written back to the Shopify order record. No manual fulfilment queue. Klaviyo receives the order event and starts the customer's lifecycle sequence.
Shopify Webhook ShipStation Klaviyo
Day 1–2 — Shipped
Branded tracking email + product education sequence begins
ShipStation fires the shipping confirmation. Klaviyo intercepts and sends a branded tracking email — not the default carrier page. First-time buyers receive a personalised product education email 24 hours after shipping: dosing guidance, timing recommendations, and what to expect in the first two weeks. Returning customers get a shorter version. Different content, same automation logic.
ShipStation Webhook Klaviyo
Day 7 — Delivered + settling in
Review request timed to genuine product experience
Seven days after confirmed delivery is when customers have genuinely used the product enough to have an opinion. Klaviyo sends a review request at this exact point — not at order confirmation, not at shipping. The email is plain-text, personalised with the product name and a single direct link to submit a review. Response rate went from 4% to 23%.
Klaviyo Shopify Reviews
4–5 ★ Loyalty points added automatically. Share prompt sent. Customer thanked by name.
1–2 ★ Gorgias ticket created immediately. CS alerted with review text pre-attached. Proactive outreach within 2 hours.
Day 25 — Supply running low
Reorder reminder timed to actual consumption cycle
A 30-day supply, and the reminder fires at day 25 — giving five days of buffer for delivery before the customer runs out. Not a generic "stock up" email. The Klaviyo flow references the exact product purchased, the quantity, and includes a one-click reorder link that pre-fills the cart. Customers who bought a bundle get a different message to single-product buyers. A second reminder fires at day 28 if no reorder has been placed.

Order 3 — Loyalty milestone
Automatic loyalty tier upgrade + reward
When a customer places their third order, Klaviyo fires a loyalty tier upgrade email — acknowledging their commitment, naming their new tier, and confirming the reward (free product on their next order or a permanent discount). This is triggered by order count, not a calendar event. Customers who've ordered three times in six weeks get the same recognition as those who've taken six months — what matters is the milestone, not the speed.

Day 60 — No reorder placed
Win-back sequence — 3 emails, 2 weeks
If 60 days pass with no new order, the customer enters a win-back flow in Klaviyo. Email one is a simple check-in — no discount, no pressure, just asking if everything was okay with their last order. Email two at day 67 leads with new product announcements relevant to their purchase history. Email three at day 74 includes a time-limited offer. Win-back rate from lapsed customers jumped from under 3% to 14% after launch.

Shopify at the centre.
Every tool receives exactly what it needs.

Shopify is the source of truth. Every automation starts from a Shopify event — order placed, order shipped, order count milestone, subscription created, return initiated. No polling. No manual triggers.

Four systems. One connected
customer experience.

Five weeks of build, including one week of A/B testing the review request timing (day 5, 7, and 10) before committing to day 7 as the optimal window for this product category.

01

Fulfilment + post-delivery education flow

ShipStation was already connected to Shopify for fulfilment — but the delivery confirmation webhook wasn't being used for anything. We wired it into Klaviyo so that every confirmed delivery triggers the appropriate post-purchase sequence based on whether the customer is a first-time buyer, a returning customer, or on a subscription.

First-time buyers receive a three-part email sequence: a delivery confirmation with unpacking tips on day zero, a usage and dosing guide on day two written in plain language rather than supplement marketing copy, and a "how is it going?" check-in on day five. Returning customers receive a shorter single email acknowledging it's not their first time and pointing them to any product updates. The content branches on order count — one Klaviyo flow, multiple personalised paths.

02

Review flow + Gorgias negative review routing

The review request fires via Klaviyo at day seven post-delivery — a single plain-text email, no imagery, no promotional language. Just the customer's name, the product they bought, and a direct link. When a review is submitted, a Shopify webhook fires. Four or five stars: Klaviyo sends a loyalty points confirmation and a social sharing prompt. Three stars or below: Gorgias creates a CS ticket immediately, with the review text, the customer's order history, and a suggested response pre-populated — the CS rep needs only to review and send.

This routing meant that negative reviews became a proactive retention opportunity rather than a delayed discovery. Average response time to a low-star review dropped from 2.8 days (when someone noticed) to under 90 minutes.

03

Recharge subscription save flows + failed payment recovery

The 38% monthly subscription churn was the most expensive single problem in the business. We built three flows inside Recharge that worked in concert with Klaviyo. When a subscriber initiates a cancellation, they're offered a skip-month option before the cancellation is confirmed — presented as a feature, not a guilt trip. Approximately 22% of cancellation attempts converted to a skip instead.

Failed payment retries were the second issue. Recharge's default retry logic was running but no communication was attached to it. We added a Klaviyo sequence: an SMS on the day of failure, a friendly email on day two, and a direct link to update payment details. Recovery rate on failed payments went from 31% (Recharge's automatic retry alone) to 58% with the communication layer added.

Loop Returns self-serve portal

Returns were taking an average of 4.5 CS emails per case — a customer emailing in, a rep asking what the issue was, a back-and-forth about refund vs exchange, and then manual processing. We replaced the entire flow with Loop Returns: a self-serve portal linked from every order confirmation email and the tracking page. Customers select the item, the reason, and whether they want a refund or exchange. Loop generates the return label, emails it to the customer, and updates the Shopify order automatically.

CS ticket volume dropped 44% in the first month. The remaining CS tickets are complex issues that genuinely need a human — not "how do I return this?" The CS team went from processing returns to handling complaints, feedback, and relationship management. A significantly better use of their time.

What changed after go-live.

Measured across the first six months post-launch, compared to the equivalent prior period. Revenue figures from Meridian's Shopify analytics and Recharge subscription dashboard.

+31%
Reorder rate across the customer base
The day-25 reorder reminder — timed to when the product actually runs out — was the single biggest driver. Customers who received the reminder were 2.4× more likely to reorder than those who didn't. At 28,000 customers and a $48 average order value, that's meaningful incremental revenue without a single new acquisition.
23%
Review submission rate — was 4%
Day-seven timing was the entire answer. The same customers who'd previously been silent were now submitting reviews — not because they liked the product more, but because someone asked at the right moment. The volume of social proof generated in six months exceeded the total accumulated over the brand's previous two years.
−44%
CS ticket volume — returns handled without email
Loop Returns eliminated the entire returns email chain. Subscription churn dropped from 38% to 24% monthly — a 14-point reduction driven by the skip-month option and failed payment recovery sequences. The CS team's workload dropped sharply while the issues they did handle became higher-value and more interesting.
+28%
Customer lifetime value across active accounts
Higher reorder rate, lower subscription churn, better win-back on lapsed customers — each one compounds. A customer who previously bought twice and lapsed now buys four or five times before churning. At Meridian's margins, the LTV increase was worth more than a year of their paid acquisition budget.

Seven tools. One customer journey.
