How to Increase Online Sales Fast: 4 Customer Data Fixes Your Shopify Store Needs Right Now

Desperate times call for desperate Google/Chat GPT searches, right? "Best Shopify apps for sales." "How to increase online sales fast." "AI tools for ecommerce growth."

Been there. Done that. Installed way too many apps.

But here's what nobody tells you while you're doom-scrolling through Shopify app reviews at 2 AM—that magical online sales-boosting app you're searching for? It doesn't exist. Because if it did, Jeff Bezos would've bought (or built!) it yesterday, and we (fellow eCommerce store owners) would all be retired in Bali by now.

Growing a Shopify store and increasing online sales isn’t easy—we get it. While everyone’s out chasing the next “revolutionary” tool/trend (looking at you, DeepSeek), the real revenue drivers are probably hiding in plain sight—right there inside your customer data.

After working with Shopify stores like yours (shoutout to Cybele, who recovered almost 25% of their abandoned carts with WhatsApp automation), we’ve cracked the code on what actually moves the needle.

Ready to stop app-hopping and start actually growing your sales by using what you already have? Here are four fixes that will get you there!

Fix #1: Convert abandoned carts instantly (Like, actually instantly)

The Painful Truth: You're probably losing about 70% of your potential sales to cart abandonment. That's not just a statistic—it's real money walking out of your digital door. And looking for yet another Shopify app for abandoned cart recovery isn't going to fix it if you're not getting the fundamentals right.

The Quick Fix: Everyone knows you need multi-channel recovery that hits the sweet spot between "Hey, did you forget something?" and "PLEASE COME BACK!" But here's the reality—most recovery apps are a one-trick pony. They either do email OR WhatsApp, not both. And don't even get us started on personalizing offers based on cart value—that usually means toggling between three different dashboards while praying your apps talk to each other.

Enter ZEPIC: This is where we come in. With ZEPIC's automated Flows, you can:

• Launch WhatsApp recovery messages (with 95% open rates!)
• Set up perfectly timed email sequences (or vice versa)
• Create personalized recovery offers not just on cart value but based on your customer’s behavior/preferences
• Track and optimize everything from one dashboard

Bonus Speed Hack: Need this done yesterday? Just tell our resident expert, Zenie AI "set up cart recovery for my Shopify store" and watch it handle everything—from message templates to multi-channel flows. All you need to do is hit approve when you're happy with what you see.

Fix #2: Reactivate past customers today

The Painful Truth: Your existing customer list is worth up to 10x more than cold prospects, but most eCommerce stores treat their customer database like a dusty storage room—full of value but rarely used effectively. Why? Because creating meaningful segments from your existing customer data usually requires a data scientist (or at least feels like it does).

The Quick Fix: Everyone knows you need to segment your customers and send targeted campaigns. But most tools either give you basic filters that barely scratch the surface, or they're so complex you need a PhD to create a simple "hasn't purchased in 3 months" segment. And by the time you finally get your segments right, the data is outdated.

Enter ZEPIC: Here's where it gets exciting. With ZEPIC's real-time segmentation, you can:

• Create laser-focused segments using multiple filters (For example, "purchased twice in last 6 months" + "browsed sale items" + "opened last email")
• Mix and match filters across customer properties, events, page visits, and interactions
• Set up segments that update automatically as customers take actions
• Launch targeted campaigns across WhatsApp and email without switching tools

Working Solo? Just tell Zenie what kind of customers you want to target, and it will create smart segments based on your data. Want to target customers who bought winter coats last year but haven't shopped your new collection? Done. Looking for high-spenders who've gone quiet? Easy. Just review the segments and start using them in your campaigns.

Fix #3: Turn one-time Shopify buyers into repeat customers

The Painful Truth: Getting that first sale feels great, but if you're not nurturing customers post-purchase, you're leaving money on the table. Most Shopify stores focus so much on acquisition that they forget about the goldmine of existing customers.

The Quick Fix: Everyone says to "create post-purchase flows" as if it were as simple as making toast. But when your customer data is spread across 23 different tools (we counted), how exactly are you supposed to know when to send that review request? Or that your "loyal customer" just had a terrible support experience before you send them that "buy more!" message? 

Enter ZEPIC: This is where having all your tools actually talk to each other makes life beautiful. With ZEPIC's 50+ integrations, you can:

• Connect your entire tech stack—from Shopify to your review platform to your support desk—in one place
• Create post-purchase journeys that actually make sense (because they use data from ALL your tools)
• Trigger perfectly timed review requests based on delivery status, not random timers
• Send WhatsApp marketing campaigns that know if a customer has an open support ticket (no more awkward "how'd you like your purchase?" messages to angry customers)

‍

Time-Saving Tip: Building these flows but short on time? Let Zenie help craft your messages and suggest optimal flow sequences based on your integrated data. You'll still need to connect your tools and set up the flows, but Zenie makes the process smoother and faster.

Fix #4: Turn browsing data into sales opportunities

The Painful Truth: Your Shopify analytics probably shows that 98% of visitors leave without buying. Installing more pop-ups isn't the answer. And no, that 'spin the wheel' discount popup isn't increasing your online sales—it's just annoying everyone, especially when you leave them with better luck next time almost all the time.

The Quick Fix: Engage visitors before they leave. By that, we mean meaningfully engaging them. You can't give the same treatment to someone who's checking out your sale items for the third time this week as someone who's window shopping your premium product. You need to reach out to them at exactly the right moment. 

Enter ZEPIC: Here's how you turn browsers into buyers without being that annoying store that sends 15 notifications in 2 minutes. With ZEPIC's visitor tracking and automation, you can:

• Identify anonymous visitors and reverse map their browsing activity as soon as they provide their contact details
• Trigger perfectly-timed WhatsApp messages when they browse high-value items
• Send relevant email follow-ups based on their actual browsing patterns
• Create different flows for first-time shoppers vs. returning customers

For example, someone checks out your premium handbag collection three times in a week? Send them a WhatsApp message with your craftsmanship story. A customer keeps coming back to your sale section? Share your best deals via email—because now you know exactly what they're interested in.

Make It Simple: Need help crafting these messages? Zenie AI can suggest engaging templates based on different browsing behaviors—so you're not staring at a blank screen wondering how to say, "Hey, I saw you looking at that dress" without sounding creepy.

We started this blog debunking the myth of that "magical sales-boosting app," right? But here's what we've shown you instead—four practical fixes that tap into data you already have. And the best part is that you can start implementing them today. Right now. While your competitors are still playing app roulette in the Shopify store, you could be turning your customer data into actual sales.
