What is Klaviyo?

Intelligent Marketing Automation for E-commerce

Klaviyo is a unified customer platform that gives online brands direct ownership of their consumer data and interactions. It excels at combining a powerful customer data platform (CDP) with email and SMS marketing, specifically optimized for high-volume e-commerce stores on Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.

Klaviyo's core strength lies in its ability to process massive amounts of real-time event data (orders, abandoned carts, price drops) to trigger highly personalized automations.
