Braze integration for Shopify
Shopify Braze Integration, Without the Copy-Paste
A Shopify Braze integration syncs customers, events and your product catalogue into Braze. Start in Braze under Partner Integrations, install the app, and the standard integration enables Product viewed, Cart updated, Checkout started and Order placed plus order paid, cancelled, refunded and fulfilled events. Backfill imports about 90 days of orders. Custom events need the Web SDK. We set it up, from $390.
- Standard integration installed with historical backfill
- Catalogue synced and product blocks tested
- Web SDK for custom or headless events
- Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Braze Connection Gets the Same Care.
A connection between Shopify and Braze proves its worth solely when the data is right on an ordinary Tuesday. Through ten years of building stores, we have learned where orders, customers and products most often break an integration, and we design around it.

The outcome
Mapping is unwritten. We document it.

How Shopify Braze Integration Moves Data Between Shopify and Braze
An integration is simplest to judge when you can see it. The picture shows the pieces we build for Braze: the records on each side, the status of every link and the log a person can read.

From First Call to Live Sync: Our Shopify Braze Integration Process
Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live data until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.
- 1
Brief and scope
First we find out what you sell, how your team uses Braze and which events count. A quick look at your orders and users tells us where to begin and what to avoid.
- 2
Access and connection
We ask for the smallest access that works, via an API key or an OAuth sign-in. A live read confirms it before we build on top of it.
- 3
Map and rule
We map external id, event name, attributes and segment, then agree which side wins each conflict and what blanks should do, in writing.
- 4
Build in a copy
We build against test data, not your live records, and show you the plan and a recorded run where it helps.
- 5
Test on real cases
We run a new user, a purchase with coupons and an opt-out, then refunds and edits, and verify each outcome against what the store shows.
- 6
Go live and hand over
On your approval the flow is switched on and monitored through its first runs, and you receive notes, a diagram and a quick video tour.

Four Ways to Connect Braze and Shopify, Compared
There are four common ways to connect Shopify and Braze. This table compares the checks that decide whether the data stays right, whether failures are noticed and whether you can pass the link to someone else.
| What matters | Native app or DIY | Zapier, Make or n8n | Marketplace seller | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Every field mapped by design | Basic defaults | Yes, if you build it | Hit and miss | Yes |
| Duplicate protection built in | Often missed | Possible with effort | Not usually | Yes |
| Failures alert a named person | No | Only if you add it | Rarely | Yes |
| Refund and edit cases tested | Seldom | If you test it | Varies | Yes |
| Fixed price up front | Subscription only | Plan fees and your time | Yes | Yes |
| Notes and a recorded walkthrough | No | No | Seldom | Yes |
| Accounts stay in your name | Yes | Yes | Varies | Yes |
| Help after go-live | Help desk of the vendor | Platform help desk | Often none | Support window included |
Inside every project
How We Protect Your Orders and Customer Data
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Narrow access, in your name
Access is as narrow as possible, granted through an API key or an OAuth sign-in, and every account remains yours.
A written definition of done
We call it complete when a new user, a purchase with coupons and an opt-out work as agreed and the log proves it.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
Price first, then two structured revision rounds for anything in scope, so no tweak becomes a surprise charge.
Secrets kept in a vault
Tokens and keys are stored in a secure vault, never pasted into notes or chat.
Nothing sent without approval
No message to a customer goes live until you have read and approved it.
Build in a copy, never live
The flow is built and tested against test data. Your live orders and users are untouched until you approve.

Why Store Design Expert
What You Get From Us That a Template Does Not
Templates cover the happy path. We cover the rest, and we put the result in writing.
A direct line to the builder
Ask the person who built it. Questions about triggers or fields get a direct reply.
A price you can plan around
The calculator shows the price and extra days for every package and option. Braze bills its own plan fees, so check its current pricing page.
Safety designed in
Retries, alerts, unique keys and limited access come as standard in every build.
Notes a colleague can follow
Handover notes record the data paths and the choices behind each setting, ready for whoever works on it next.
We live inside Shopify
We work with Shopify orders, refunds, edits and metafields daily. That depth is separate from knowing Braze's interface.
Tested on your real cases
Your real scenarios are the test plan: a new user, a purchase with coupons and an opt-out.
What we need to get started
What to Prepare Before We Start Your Braze Integration
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
Already trading? Share the store address and accept our collaborator request. You remain the owner, we see only what the role allows, and you can remove us whenever you like.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can start in our own Partner account, set up the store and the Braze link, then transfer ownership to you. A Shopify plan is chosen at the end.
Or share a staff login
Sharing a staff login is possible. The collaborator route is safer, though: one click removes it and no password is passed around.
Your Braze access
Create the account yourself and invite us, or ask us to create it with your email. Either way you hold the owner role, and we use an API key or an OAuth sign-in.
Sample records
Two or three representative records from each side are enough. They show us the true shape of your data.
A decision-maker
Who signs off the plan and the test? And when Braze and Shopify disagree, which one is right? Those two answers are all we need.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
