Customer Clustering for Shopify
A Shopify-tuned deployment of the canonical Customer Clustering & LTV Engine — uses Shopify Customer and Orders data plus metafields, syncs results to Klaviyo and Shopify Audiences for activation.

Shopify operators run Klaviyo on default segments and Shopify Audiences on simple filters — missing the segment structure that's actually decision-relevant for marketing budget allocation and retention strategy.
What this is
The canonical Customer Clustering & LTV Engine, tuned for Shopify-native deployment. See the canonical product page in the Operations Algorithms Suite for the modeling backbone, clustering methodology, and LTV-forecasting detail. The Shopify-tuned tuning consists of:
- Direct integration with Shopify Customer and Orders APIs for the feature engineering.
- Shopify metafield support for custom-attribute clustering inputs.
- Sync to Shopify Audiences for native marketing-campaign activation.
- Sync to Klaviyo profile fields for flow-based marketing activation.
What you get
- The clustering model trained on your store's customer data.
- Per-cluster LTV forecasts.
- Daily sync to Shopify Audiences and Klaviyo.
- Operator dashboard showing segment composition and LTV per segment.
- Quarterly model refresh.

Repeat-Purchase & Churn for Shopify
A Shopify-tuned deployment of the canonical Churn Prediction & Retention Engine — handles both transactional repeat-purchase prediction and subscription-aware churn (Recharge / Bold / Shopify Subscriptions integration), wires reactivation triggers into Klaviyo flows.
What buyers ask about this one.
Doesn't Klaviyo already do predictive segmentation?
Klaviyo's predictive segments work well for the customer-side prediction (next purchase date, predicted CLV). The clustering layer is different — unsupervised segment structure on the full feature space, not predicted-purchase classification. The two are complementary; many engagements end up running both with the clusters informing Klaviyo flows.
How does it integrate with Shopify Audiences?
Cluster assignments sync to Shopify Audiences as custom segments; from there they're usable in Shopify Marketing campaigns and channel targeting. Sync runs daily with new-customer triggering.
What about Klaviyo activation?
Cluster assignments sync to Klaviyo profile fields. From there the marketing team builds segment-targeted flows in Klaviyo's standard UI. The clustering layer doesn't replace Klaviyo's flow infrastructure — it informs it.
How is this different from Lifetimely or Reveal?
Those products focus on cohort retention analytics — good descriptive tools for what's already happened. The Customer Clustering Engine produces segments for forward-looking marketing decisions. Different output, same source data.
Pricing?
Tiered per buyer profile. Discovery call covers the right tier.
If the deliverable matches the gap, the next step is one call.
We'll scope length and price against your data and the operation it integrates with. No retainer, no fishing.
